Background: A common disorder among women during reproductive age is dysmenorrhea. It has a chronic cyclic nature and a positive association with psychological distress.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of desensitization based on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) on dysmenorrhea intensity.
Background: Despite the progress made in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children is still increasing, and its management requires hospitalization in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It is important to find a new and low-risk treatment method to shorten the recovery time from DKA.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of integrating two different types of long-acting subcutaneous insulin into the standard treatment for DKA in children.
Objective: Vaginal atrophy, the second most common complication of menopause, can lead to sexual dysfunction. This study evaluated the effect of a vitamin D vaginal suppository on sexual functioning in postmenopausal women.
Methods: This three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted between August 2019 and August 2020.
Background: Unpleasant experiences of dysmenorrhea can lead to increased anxiety. The anxiety associated with dysmenorrhea is a pain-related anxiety which might reduce the efficacy of medication as well as enhance the perception of pain. The present study evaluated the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in reducing anxiety among female university students with primary dysmenorrhea.

Introduction: Patients with COVID-19 infection may present a wide range of symptoms that make its diagnosis challenging, especially in patients with underlying conditions.
Presentation Of Case: A 30-year-old postpartum woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED) of Arash Women Hospital with right flank pain. Physical examination revealed tachycardia and decreased sounds in the base of the lung.
Background: Menopause is associated with changes in sexual function which are partly due to vaginal atrophy in response to estrogen reduction. Estrogen administration temporarily reduces the symptoms of vaginal dryness, but long-term exposure to this drug is likely to be associated with serious complications. Considering the promising results of previous studies concerning the effect of vitamin D on vaginal dryness, the proposed study will investigate the effect of vitamin D vaginal suppository on the sexual function of postmenopausal women.

Background: Unpleasant experience with the previous menstruation can increase the sensitivity to pain which may lead to moderate to severe pain in patients with dysmenorrhea. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological method to alleviate the distress from unpleasant memories and related events and can be used for other conditions such as anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. This protocol was designed to investigate the effect of EMDR therapy on pain intensity in patients with dysmenorrhea.

Materials: One hundred and fifty-eight participants with term pregnancies scheduled for cesarean section were randomly divided into two groups. In M group, two sublingual misoprostol pills (400 mg) were administrated, immediately after the delivery.
Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication, which can cause high morbidity and mortality. Use of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist instead of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in GnRH antagonist cycles causes luteinizing hormone surge by GnRH stimulation which reduces the risk of OHSS by reducing the total amount of gonadotropin; however, there is no possibility of transferring fresh embryos.
Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of hCG along with GnRH agonist administration in the occurrence of OHSS and pregnancy rate in females undergoing in vitro fertilization.
Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare and the most severe form of functional intestinal obstruction in the newborn. The characteristic features of this congenital and fatal disease are abdominal distension, absent or decreased bowel peristalsis. Abdominal distension is a consequence of the distended, unobstructed urinary bladder with or without hydronephrosis.
