Article Abstract
Background: Childbirth preparation classes are incredibly useful for midwifery students as future medical personnel. Nowadays, given the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic and as mobile applications are extensively welcomed, virtual space can be used for education in the area of childbirth preparation classes. Given the lack of an application for childbirth preparation classes, this study will be conducted to design, implement and validate such an application to improve the performance of midwifery students in the areas of pregnancy and safe delivery.
Materials And Methods: The present study will be conducted in three phases. In the first phase, content will be provided to Information Technology experts based on the content of the national guidelines for physiological delivery in Iran, and the application will be designed and validated for the use of midwifery students, then develop app for other medical students, midwives and physicians. In the second phase, the assessment will be based on Kirkpatrick's model. In the third stage, develop app for other medical students, midwives and physicians based on the results of the first and second phase. SPSS version 17 will be used in this phase for analysis of data through descriptive and analytical tests.
Conclusion: Owing to the expansion of virtual space and the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, design, validation, and evaluation of an application for childbirth preparation classes is an exceptionally significant necessity which contributes to the process of educating midwifery students.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.

In South American Camelids (SAC), determining a suitable time point for mating poses challenges as females ready for conception do not show estrus signs or behavioral changes. Therefore, the applicability of measuring sex steroids in milk and vaginal cytology as non-invasive methods for monitoring ovarian activity was investigated.Samples were collected from a total of 10 alpacas (A) and 9 llamas (L) over a period of 4 weeks following parturition.

This study investigated the expression of immune checkpoint molecules on CD4 and CD4 NKT cell subpopulations throughout healthy pregnancy trimesters and in non-pregnant condition to understand their role in maternal-fetal immunotolerance. Using flow cytometry, we found that CD4 NKT cells significantly outnumbered CD4 NKT cells in all investigated groups. In the case of the immune checkpoint molecules, PD-1 receptor expression was significantly lower in CD4 NKT cells compared to CD4 counterpart cells only in non-pregnant women, while the PD-L1 ligand expression on CD4 NKT cells significantly decreased in the third trimester.

: Enzymes secreted by the digestive glands are excreted from the body with urine, sweat and feces, and they are also removed from the blood due to their participation in the enzymatic provision of the secretion entering the gastrointestinal tract. : The aim of this work was to analyze the activity of pepsinogen, amylase and lipase in the coprofiltrate of pregnant women in each trimester of pregnancy and in the postpartum period, taking into account the timing and type of delivery (term, premature, late delivery or cesarean section). : Data from studies of non-pregnant (n = 45) and pregnant (n = 193) women were analyzed.

Background: During the transition to parenthood, fathers face psychosocial changes that are accompanied by uncertainty and insecurity. Feelings of insecurity may affect fathers' experiences of pregnancy and childbirth, adjustment to the paternal role, and bonding with their child. There is a need to better understand fathers' experiences of security and the causal and constitutional factors involved.
