Comparison of Letrozole vs Clomiphene Citrate for induction of ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndromeAn Iraqi study
Get PDFPolycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder in young women and manifests as infertility in 55-75%. Clomiphene citrate is still the standard drug for inducing or augmenting ovulation. It is not, however, equally successful in all situations. L Metromile is an aromatase inhibitor and is one of the alternative treatments to Clomiphene. This study aims to answer the question (does letrozole add anything to the art Of ovulation induction and represent a real alternative to Clomiphene? To compare the effects of letrozole (5 mg) and clomiphene citrate (100 mg) for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. A prospective randomized trial study was done at Tikrit Teaching Hospital. The study comprised a total of 40 infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome; Patients were randomized to treatment with 5 mg Of letrozole daily (20 patients) or 100 mg of clomiphene citrate daily (20 patients) for 5 days starting on day 3 Of menses. Timed intercourse was advised 24-36 hours after hCG injection. Then, both groups were followed by sonography every other day from day 10 Of the menstrual cycle for the number and size Of follicles and endometrial thickness were assessed. The study revealed that the C . C group induce ovum with size > 18mm 12 (60%) versus 17 (85%) among Letrzol group, while < 18mm in about 8 C.C group as compared with 3 (15%) in Letrzol group, this relation was statistically not significant. The study revealed that C.C group induce > 1 follicle 8 (40%) versus 2 (10%) among Letrzol group, while I follicle induced in about 6 (30%) in C.C group as compared with 16 (80%) in Letrzol group, this relation was statistically significant. The endometrium thickness was 4-5 mm in 14 (70%) among C.C group, and 17 (85%) in Letrzol group , while uterine thickness was 6-9.5mm in 6 (30%) among C.C group and 3 (15%) among Letrzol group, this relation was statistically not significant, study conclude that Letrozole should be considered as first line drug to get away from clomiphene's unwanted effects like thin endometrium and multifolliculogesis
Remedying The Consequences of Burn Injuries to The Upper Limbs
Get PDFThe effectiveness of a comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation approach for post-burn and mechanical injuries to the upper extremities has been confirmed through the analysis of both immediate and long-term outcomes. The strategy, involving scar correction surgeries, autodermotransplantation, and physiotherapy, has yielded successful and sustainable results. Patients facing scar contractures and trophic impairments have regained mobility and improved their quality of life, underscoring the efficacy of our treatment approac
Risk Factors and Manifestations of Food Allergy in Young Children
Get PDFThis article highlights the features of the clinical course, etiology of food allergies in young children, depending on the types of feeding
Ischemic Heart Disease. Blood Coagulation System in Tension Angina Pectoris
Get PDFThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of changes in the parameters of the hemostatic system and the volume of blood loss in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and arterial hypertension (AH) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting depending on their sensitivity to aspirin. It has been shown that the volume of blood loss in the intra- and postoperative period of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), the dynamics of coagulogram and thromboelastogram parameters do not depend on the low sensitivity of patients to aspiri
Metabolic Syndrome as A Pediatric Problem
Get PDFThe etiology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of metabolic syndrome in childhood and adolescence are discussed. Criteria for diagnosing the main components of the metabolic syndrome are proposed: obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypoalphacholesterolemia. The problem of metabolic syndrome is considered from the standpoint of vascular risk, issues of diagnosing damage to the cardiovascular system and the development of endothelial dysfunction, arterial hypertension, and dyslipoproteinemia are discussed. Approaches to prevention and treatment are outline
Age-Related Features Of Clinical Manifestation And Development Of Spinal Deformity In Scoliotic Disease
Get PDF31 children with initial manifestations of spinal deformity were studied of varying degrees and severity of scoliotic disease. It has been established that the first clinical signs of spinal deformities appear at the age of no more than 10 years. those. before the beginning of the period of physiological maturation of the body. Analysis of the obtained data makes it possible to determine the proportions of various variants of the natural development of scoliotic spinal deformity. This makes it possible to predict the prospects for the development of pathology in patients with scoliosis

Applying Holt’s linear method to estimate future trends of HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years in Cabo Verde
Get PDFThis study uses annual time series data of HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years for Cabo Verde from 1990 to 2020 to predict future trends of HIV prevalence over the period 2021 to 2030. The study utilizes Holt’s linear method. The optimal values of smoothing constants α and β are 0.8 and 0.1 respectively based on minimum MSE. The results of the study indicate that annual HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years will continue to decline over the out of sample period. Therefore, policymakers are encouraged to scale up HIV testing services and antiretroviral therapy coverage among key populations
Applying Holt’s double exponential smoothing technique to predict HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years for Burkina Faso
Get PDFThis study uses annual time series data of HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years for Burkina Faso from 1990 to 2020 to predict future trends of HIV prevalence over the period 2021 to 2030. The study utilizes Holt’s double exponential smoothing model. The optimal values of smoothing constants α and β are 0.9 and 0.1 respectively based on minimum MSE. The results of the study indicate that annual HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years will continue to decline over the out of sample period. Therefore, we encourage authorities to improve HIV case detection among the communities and strengthen preventive measures recommended by WHO
