This research was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Alassad Hospital of Tishreen University in Lattakia in the period between 5th of Jan 2012 to 1st of Aug 2013. The sample tested was divided into two groups: 100 pregnant
women, and 50 not pregnant.
The study showed that the ratio of the sensitivity of Pap test in pregnancy was 100%, and its quality was 76.74%. The Compatibility with overall histological diagnosis was 79.38%.
However, the ratio of the sensitivity of Colposcopy was 90.91% and its quality was 76.74%. The Compatibility with overall histological diagnosis was 78.35%.
Thus we conclude that both Pap Smear and colposcopy are safe and good scanning tools. They can be used in the preliminary prognosis for carcinomatous and precarcinomatous tumors through the duration of pregnancy.
This study was conducted at AL Assad University Hospital in Latakia in 2012. It was a prospective study of pregnant patients admitted Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology during the period between 1\9\2012 and 1\9\2013. These patients had regular
menstrual information and were in 37th week or more of gestation and did not have any disease in the mother or fetus affecting the growth of the fetus.
The study included 122 patients regardless of the mode of delivery. Each patient's information was documented: estimated gestational age by LMP (last menstrual period) and estimated gestational age by ECHO using (BPD : biparietal diameter, FL: femur length) during the 24-hour from delivery, presentation and amount of liquid by ECHO. Gestational age ranged between 37 and 41.5 weeks "with an average of 38.6 weeks" and a standard deviation of 1.1 weeks" by LMP.
Results showed almost convergent values based on all BPD and FL. There was also a stronger correlation between the ages of pregnancy estimated FL, LMP than BPD, LMP. Moreover, there was presence of a strong correlation between the ages of pregnancy estimated using BPD, FL and LMP when the presentation was breech. It was also observed that the presence of a good amount of liquid is necessary to estimate the age pregnancy ultrasound.
Prenatal detection of congenital heart disease is possible from the 16th week of
pregnancy. the ideal time being the Midtrimester ,when the most cardiac abnormalities can be detected
,where all routine cross sectional views are easily obtainable.
To evaluate the detection and accuracy of fetal echocardiography for congenital heart defects among high
risk pregnancies.
This study includes (409)pregnant women elected from patients who have been
admitted to the department of obstetrics and gynecology or outpatient clinic belonging to
Assad University Hospital in Lattakia during the study period from 01/09/2014 up t
o
01/09/2015.patients have been classified in tow groups: symptomatic and non
symptomatic(109 and 300 patient respectively).It has been diagnosed asymptomatic
bacteriuria in accordance with the standard (Edward Kass) at a rate (12%).We found that
the age lesser than 30 years, is a risk factor important in the occurrence of urinary infection
,there is no importance for the pattern of work, and most of the cases of the asymptomatic
bacteriuria is in the second trimester (14-28 weeks) and multigravida account of (73.9 %)
of the group of bacteriuric asymptomatic patients.Study shows that the bacterial urine
culture is the golden diagnostic test to detect urinary tract infection in pregnant women,
and it also shows the non-reliability of the urinalysis test, because of the high false
negativity in the diagnosis of asymptomatic bacteriuria .Escherichia coli was the most
common bacterial organisim causing bacterial urinary infections in patients study, by
66.7% for a frank urinary sepsis, and 80.2% for the group asymptomatic bacteriuria .
Clinicians are occasionally faced with the dilemma of
managing pregnant patients who require ongoing anticoagulation.
Examples include women with mechanical heart valves, venous
thromboembolism, and chronic atrial fibrillation.
Methods : A prospe
ctive study randomly assigned 33 pregnant women aged
between 22 and 43 years (average; 28.4); to receive either fractionated
heparin: Enoxaparin (The 1st group, n = 17) or unfractionated heparin (The
second group, n=16).
In both groups, patients were given heparin (fractionated or unfractionated)
during the 1st trimester and last month of pregnancy, and took warfarin
between the 4th and 8th month.
The routine care of pregnancy, labor and post partum period
as applied by Syrian obstetricians was studied. A mailed
questionnaire of ١٦١ questions was sent to ٦٨٧ obstetricians
who are affiliated to Syrian society of obstetricians and
gynecologi
sts. ٢٠٠ answers were received with response rate
of ٢٩,٤ %. The results showed profile of routine practices
during pregnancy and child birth as applied by Syrian
obstetricians, these results were presented in light of best
evidence based medicine. The study reveals the necessity of
the presence of a national policy for routine care of pregnant
women in different phases of pregnancy. This policy should
be in light of best evidence based medicine and goes with the
local national requirements. More researches are needed for
deep understanding of the determinants of ineffective
practices in obstetrical practices.
Objective ; To compare the rates of ovulation and pregnancy after tamoxifen citrate (TMX) or clomiphene citrate (CC) among anovulatory women with (PCOD).. Design : Prospective randomized trial.
This study examined 64 patients who visited The New Maternity Hospital at
Damascus University. Those patients were divided almost equally between the
three types of diabetes.
Blood sugar was well controlled by : Diet in 20.3%, insulin in 70.3% and
9.4% of
patients reported or came at delivery; So they recieved no treatment.
The results were:
1. Obesity was the major combined risk factor among all patients.
2. The ideal time to deliver patients was between 38-40 weeks, the rate of
stillbirth rises sharply when patients passe their EDD.
3. The rate of cesarean sections rose to 60.9% in diabetic patients compared to
15.8% in non diabetic patients.
4. Perinatal Morbidity and mortality rose (16 0% Vs 7.7 0%) due to increase
in rate of congenital anomalies (7.8% Vs 2%) also due to macrosomia
(21.3%) associated with immaturity leading to failure of the newborn to
adapt with extra-uterine life.
This study was conducted at the Metabolism Unit of Agric. College,
Damascus University during ١٩٩٧ and ١٩٩٨ in order to determine the Level of
Progesterone (P) in Plasma in the Syrian yearling Awassi Ewes during pregnancy
and lactation. Eleven yea
rling ewes ١٨ months old, never get pregnant were used.
They were divided randomly into ٢ groups (G١, n=٨; G٢, n=٣) Ewes in all group
were housed and managed under the same conditions (Intensive system).
Telehealth is a promising technology in its effectiveness, accuracy and prevalence, and given the importance of medical care and monitoring in areas that lack adequate medical staff or are difficult to access on the one hand, and as a result of the h
igh costs of medical treatment, especially for the elderly on the other hand. Wireless body sensor networks (WBAN) has received a lot of attention from research and development, especially as a result of the tremendous development in wireless sensor networks and modern electronics that have caused smart small size sensors that can be positioned inside or on the body. In our research, we will discuss the use of these modern networks in the medical field, in particular patient monitoring in hospitals, as continuous monitoring and control of vital parameters here are of great importance to patients' lives. The basic idea is to publish a group of sensor devices with a specific formation on the patient’s body, and these devices have several functions to perform the integrated work of measuring and sensing important parameters, and send them as information to a coordinated node that collects these data and sends them to a main station that processes this information and makes decision. Then, it sends a message of this decision to the deployed agencies that translate this decision in order to adjust the parameters again.
