Abstract
Background Despite the increasing growth of female genital cosmetic procedures, the long-term effects of these procedures are not clearly understood. This study was conducted to compare the genital self-image and sexual function in women with and without female genital cosmetic procedures. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 315 participants (210 women without a history of genital cosmetic surgery and 105 women with it) in Alborz province, Iran, from early February 2023 to mid-May 2023. The sampling was done conveniently. Data collection instruments were Female Genital Self Image Scale and Female Sexual Function Index. Statistical analysis was done in SPSS 16 software using t-test, chi-square, and logistic regression, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The use of laser to tighten the vagina with 77.77% and Perineoplasty with 29.2% were the main cosmetic procedures. The mean duration passed from the surgical procedures was 4.79±3.60 years, while it was 1.13±0.74 years for non-surgical procedures. Women with a history of genital procedures had a higher mean age (39.45±10.38, P=0.023). However, they were lower regarding the level of education (P<0.001), family income (P<0.001), and exercise (P<0.001). Also, they showed a higher number of pregnancies (P<0.001), deliveries (P<0.001), vaginal delivery (P<0.001), episiotomy (P<0.001), and neonates with a weight of ≥3.5 kg (P=0.002). In both groups, midwives and doctors were the most important sources of information about the appearance and function of reproductive system. However, the genital self-image and sexual function of the two groups did not differ significantly (P>0.05). Conclusion No difference in sexual self-image and lack of difference in sexual function after cosmetic procedures show the need to pay attention to recommending and selecting these procedures. Public awareness about the diverse and natural forms of the female genitalia, education about the variety of the factors affecting sexual function, reduction of unnecessary interventions, increase in physiological births, retraining doctors and midwives, and multidimensional counseling can help to choose more appropriate candidates for cosmetic procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the last decade, luteal-phase ovarian stimulation (LPOS) has been suggested as an alternative controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocol for in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles mainly in women with a history of poor ovarian response (POR). The present randomized controlled trial study aimed to compare the outcomes of follicular phase ovarian stimulation (FPOS) and LPOS protocols in POR cases undergoing ICSI cycles. METHODS Seventy-eight POR patients who met the Bologna criteria and underwent an ICSI cycle were included. In this study, 39 POR cases were allocated to the FPOS group, and 39 POR cases were allocated to the LPOS group. The primary outcome was the number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes. In addition, the total number of oocytes, number of top-quality day 3 embryo, day 3 embryo development rate, chemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy rates were defined as secondary outcomes. RESULTS The obtained results demonstrated that the number of MII oocytes significantly increased in the LPOS group compared to the FPOS group (P = 0.007). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the number of GV and MI oocytes, number of top-quality day 3 embryos and day 3 embryo development rate among both categories of patients. Also, the number of total and MII oocytes was significantly higher in the LPOS group (P = 0.016). CONCLUSION These results suggest that LPOS protocol effectively increases the number of mature oocytes in women with a history of POR.

Abstract
Background The benefits of frozen embryo transfer (FET) vs. fresh embryo transfer for in vitro fertilization (IVF) have been discussed in previous studies. Objective To determine and compare the pregnancy outcomes following FET and frozen embryo transfer in women who underwent assisted reproductive techniques. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, 233 women candidates for IVF/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection who referred to the Kamali Training Medical Center, Karaj, Iran during 2019-2020 were evaluated in 2 groups of fresh (n = 127) and frozen (n = 106) embryo transfers. The rates of pregnancy outcomes including chemical and clinical pregnancy, live birth, preeclampsia, ectopic pregnancy, still birth, and pregnancy loss were compared between groups in 3 age subgroups (< 25, 25-35, and 35-40 yr old). Results No significant difference in terms of chemical and clinical pregnancy and live birth rates were observed between groups in women aged < 25 yr. Chemical and clinical pregnancy and live birth rates were significantly higher in the FET group compared to fresh group in 25-35-yr-old women (p = 0.01, p = 0.03, and p = 0.01, respectively). In 35-40-yr-old women, no significant differences were observed in terms of chemical and clinical pregnancy rates, but live birth rate was found to be significantly higher in the FET group (p = 0.02). The pregnancy loss was lower in the FET group (p = 0.038). Conclusion In conclusion, the FET method in women aged 25-35 yr significantly increases the chance of successful IVF/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection.

Abstract
AIM Adolescents face many challenges when entering university. The aim of this study was determined predictor role of coping with identity threat and health literacy on the quality of life and mental health of students. METHODS This is a descriptive-analytical study of the structural equation study. Random sampling was performed on 300 students of Alborz University of medical science who were eligible to enter the study. The link of the questionnaires was provided to the students through social networks. The questionnaires were used to study identity threat, mental health, health literacy, and quality of life. RESULTS The results of structural equations showed that health literacy has a negative and significant effect (β = -0.22) and identity threat strategy has a negative and significant effect on students' mental health disorder (β = -0.53). Mental health disorders have a negative and significant effect on the quality of life in students (β = -0.49), and health literacy has a positive and significant effect on the quality of life (β = 0.35). Based on Sobel criterion, mental health disorder was a partial mediator for the indirect effect of coping threat strategy on quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Considering the effect of mental health and health literacy on the quality of life and the effectiveness of coping strategies, it is recommended to evaluate the mental health and health literacy of students in universities and provide educational programs for identity coping in the early years after entering the university.

Abstract
The best time of endometrial receptivity is the missing part of the implantation puzzle in patients with recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure. There are various treatment plans and strategies to meet the best endometrial timing for implantation. However, the lack of synchronization of the good-quality embryo with the patient's individual "window of implantation" is the hypothesis for most IVF failures so far. Sequential embryo transfer (ET) theoretically extends the availability time of embryos on the window of implantation. The study aimed to evaluate the improvement of pregnancy rate in sequential (two-step) frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) on day 3/day 5 in individuals who suffer from repeated IVF failures. This randomized controlled trial study was done in a university-affiliated infertility center for women with repeated consecutive IVF failures. Two hundred women aged 20-39 years who met our inclusion criteria were included in the study between January 2020 and September 2021. Participants were allocated with a 1:1 ratio to either sequential (two-step) ET on day 3/day 5 (study group, n=100) and conventional day 5 FET (n=100, control group). The frozen-thawed embryos were transferred to hormone replacement therapy-prepared endometrium in both groups. The primary outcomes were clinical pregnancy and implantation rates. The secondary outcomes were early pregnancy loss and multiple pregnancies. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the two groups were comparable. Clinical pregnancy rates were significantly higher in the sequential (two-step) FET group (40%) compared to the day 5 group (19%) (P<0.001). The sequential transfer of frozen-thawed embryos on day 3/day 5 was more effective than regular day 5 for patients suffering from repeated IVF failure.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which often includes high-risk genotype infection, is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer. This cross-sectional research included 503 Iranian women referred to the gynecology clinic of Kamali Hospital in Karaj, Iran, for routine cervical cancer screening between 2020 and 2021. Cervical specimens were collected from all participants with a special brush and transported to the laboratory for cervical cytology diagnosis. Overall HPV incidence among Iranian women was 39.96%, of which 23.06% had high-risk HPV genotypes and 9.7% had low-risk HPV types. The risk associated with HR-HPV types was considerably associated with employment and marital status.

Abstract
Background Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the three major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, so delay in the diagnosis and proper management of postpartum hemorrhage is of great importance. The present study aimed to determine the prophylactic effect of misoprostol on postpartum hemorrhage in patients with preeclampsia. Methods This was a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial performed on 128 pregnant women with preeclampsia undergoing cesarean section in Kamali hospital in Karaj. After cesarean delivery, immediately after clamping the umbilicus, the first group was administered 400 μg of rectal misoprostol and the second group was given 400 μg of sublingual misoprostol. The third group (control) was given 30 units of oxytocin during surgery and within 12 h after surgery, respectively. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were measured 24 h later. The estimated bleeding rate by the physician, the need for additional medication to control bleeding, and the amounts of hemoglobin and hematocrit in the first 24 h were compared in the three groups. Finally, the obtained information was entered into SPSS version 21 and analyzed using statistical tests. Results The mean hemoglobin and hematocrit levels 6 and 12 h after cesarean section were significantly lower in the oxytocin group than in the sublingual and rectal misoprostol groups (Hemoglobin level (mg/dl) for oxytocin group 10.39 ± 0.73 and 9.53 ± 1.09 vs. sublingual misoprostol 11.05 ± 0.71 and 10.39 ± 0.84 vs. rectal misoprostol 10.92 ± 0.85 and 10 ± 1.01; hematocrit level for Hemoglobin level (%) for oxytocin group 31.27 ± 2.29 and 28.64 ± 2.93 vs. sublingual misoprostol 33.09 ± 2.20 and 31.05 ± 2.37 vs. rectal misoprostol 32.54 ± 2.7 and 29.92 ± 2.86) (p < 0.005). The mean estimation of visual bleeding in the oxytocin group was higher than the other three groups, followed by the rectal and the sublingual groups, respectively. However, there was no significant difference between the three groups regarding visual bleeding. There was no significant difference in hemoglobin and hematocrit between the two groups of sublingual and rectal misoprostol before and 6 and 12 h after the surgery (P > 0.05). Conclusion It seems that sublingual or rectal misoprostol administration along with oxytocin is associated with a reduction in postpartum cesarean section bleeding compared to oxytocin administration alone. Hemoglobin level 6 and 12 h after cesarean section is significantly lower in the oxytocin group compared to the sublingual misoprostol group. Sublingual or rectal misoprostol administration along with oxytocin is associated with a reduction in postpartum cesarean section bleeding. Hemoglobin level 6 and 12 h after cesarean section is significantly lower in the oxytocin group compared to the rectal misoprostol group.

Abstract
Background:Preeclampsia is the second most common cause of maternal mortality in the world after hemorrhage. The present study was conducted to compare the hemodynamic and biochemical levels and pregnancy complications in women with preeclampsia and normal blood pressure. Methods:This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on two groups of healthy mothers and mothers with preeclampsia. The research sample included 147 people selected among all mothers referred to Kamali Educational and Medical Center of Alborz. The relationship of preeclampsia and its severity with indices such as age, maternal and fetal weight, body mass index, Apgar score, liver enzymes, laboratory indices, Doppler ultrasound, economic status and other hemodynamic and biochemical indices was examined. Results:The mean age of patients with normal blood pressure and preeclampsia was 29.2 and 29.9 years, respectively. In the control group, no history of hospitalization in an intensive care unit (ICU) was reported, while in the case group, 28% of mothers were admitted to ICU. In the control group, 93% of the fetal middle cerebral arterial (MCA) index, 95% of UA index, 93% of SD index and 95% of CPR index were normal, while in the case group, 67% of MCA index, 65% of the umbilical arterial (UA) index, 70% of SD index and 36% of CPR index were normal. The mean uric acid was about 32% higher in the case group than the control group. The mean neonatal weight was about 20% higher in mothers with normal blood pressure (2836 g in the control group and 2345 g in the case group). In the multivariate logistic regression, platelet (OR=1, P=.018), pulse rate of mother (OR=1.198, P=.044), uric acid (OR=2.057, P<.001) and LDH (OR=1.006, P=.015) were significant predictors of preeclampsia. Conclusion:By examining the indices at different ages of pregnancy, the occurrence of preeclampsia can be predicted at the appropriate time and its complications for both the mother and fetus can be thus prevented. Platelet, pulse rate of the mother, uric acid and LDH were significant predictors of preeclampsia, of which just uric acid was a strong predictor, with odds ratio (OR)=2.057 - for example, for one unit increase in uric acid, the odds of preeclampsia increase by about two times. Preeclampsia may cause low birth weight as well.

Abstract
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited form of retinal ganglion cell degeneration leading to optic atrophy in young adults. Several mutations in different genes can cause LHON (heterogeneity). The ND6 gene is one of the mitochondrial genes that encodes subunit 6 of complex I of the respiratory chain. This gene is a hot spot gene. Fourteen Persian LHON patients were analyzed with single-strand conformational polymorphism and DNA sequencing techniques. None of these patients had four primary mutations, G3460A, G11788A, T14484C, and G14459A, related to this disease. We identified twelve nucleotide substitutions, G13702C, T13879C, T14110C, C14167T, G14199T, A14233G, G14272C, A14290G, G14365C, G14368C, T14766C, and T14798C. Eleven of twelve nucleotide substitutions had already been reported as polymorphism. One of the nucleotide substitutions (A14290G) has not been reported. The A14290G nucleotide substitution does not change its amino acid (glutamic acid). We looked for base conservation using DNA star software (MEGALIGN program) as a criterion for pathogenic or nonpathogenic nucleotide substitution in A14290G. The results of ND6 gene alignment in humans and in other species (mouse, cow, elegans worm, and Neurospora crassa mold) revealed that the 14290th base was not conserved. Fifty normal controls were also investigated for this polymorphism in the Iranian population and two had A14290G polymorphism (4%). This study provides evidence that the mtDNA A14290G allele is a new nonpathogenic polymorphism. We suggest follow-up studies regarding this polymorphism in different populations.
