- Abstract
New clinical approaches are needed to minimize complications of gestational diabetes during the COVID-19 outbreak with timely screening and proper management. The present study aims to highlight changes in the clinical guideline for gestational diabetes during the pandemic. In a narrative review, multiple databases were searched. Furthermore, online searches were conducted to identify guidelines or support documents provided by NGOs, local health authorities, and societies and organizations in the field of diabetes and obstetrics. We included five national guidelines that were published in English from Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Australia health agencies. FBG, A1C, RPG were recommended as alternative tests instead of a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGGT) for GDM screening at 24–28 weeks of gestation. Recommendations also included a deferral of postpartum screening till the end of the pandemic, or postponement of testing to 6–12 months after delivery, use telemedicine and telecare. Updated temporary changes in clinical guidelines are sensible and accommodates social distancing and minimizes risk of exposure to COVID-19. Despite many unsolved controversies in screening, treatment, and follow-up of gestational diabetes, it seems involvement with novel coronavirus have made a reach to a global agreement simpler. • There is a consensus on three critical issues in the screening and management of GDM during the COVID-19 crisis. • Replace OGGT with alternative tests (FBG, A1C, RPG) during 24–28 weeks of gestation. • Defer or delay postpartum screening and use telemedicine to discover clinical symptoms. • Compare the benefits of standard care with the risks of exposure to COVID- 19.

- Abstract
Introduction Fear of childbirth is a problematic mental health issue during pregnancy. But, effective interventions to reduce this problem are not well understood. Objectives To examine effective interventions for reducing fear of childbirth. Material and methods The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, Embase and PsycINFO were searched since inception till September 2017 without any restriction. Randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised controlled trials comparing interventions for treatment of fear of childbirth were included. The standardized mean differences were pooled using random and fixed effect models. The heterogeneity was determined using the Cochran’s test and I 2 index and was further explored in meta-regression model and subgroup analyses. Results Ten studies inclusive of 3984 participants were included in the meta-analysis (2 quasi-randomized and 8 randomized clinical trials). Eight studies investigated education and two studies investigated hypnosis-based intervention. The pooled standardized mean differences of fear for the education intervention and hypnosis group in comparison with control group were −0.46 (95% CI −0.73 to −0.19) and −0.22 (95% CI −0.34 to −0.10), respectively. Conclusions Both types of interventions were effective in reducing fear of childbirth; however our pooled results revealed that educational interventions may reduce fear with double the effect of hypnosis. Further large scale randomized clinical trials and individual patient data meta-analysis are warranted for assessing the association. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aims This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome and its potential risk factors, 6–12 weeks postpartum in women with GDM compared to women with normal glucose tolerance. Methods LAGAs is an ongoing population-based prospective cohort study that started in March 2015 in Ahvaz, Iran. During 11 months of study progression, 176 women with GDM pregnancy and 86 healthy women underwent a fasting glucose test, 75-g OGTT and fasting lipid tests at 6–12 weeks postpartum. GDM was defined based on IADPSG criteria. Postpartum glucose intolerance was defined according to ADA criteria and metabolic syndrome using 2 sets of criteria. Results The overall rate of metabolic syndrome at 6–12 weeks postpartum was 16% by NCEP-ATP III criteria (18.2% in women with GDM and 11.6% in controls) and 19.1% by IDF criteria (21% in women with gestational diabetes and 15.1% in controls). Pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity, (OR 1.89, 95% CI: 1.05-3.38, P = .03), pregnancy systolic blood pressure (OR 1.03, 95% CI: 1.008–1.52, P = .006) and requiring insulin or metformin (OR 3.08, 95% CI: 1.25–7.60, P = 0.01), were associated risk factors for the presence of MetS in GDM-exposed women. In women with normal glucose during pregnancy, pre-pregnancy BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 was a risk factor of metabolic syndrome (OR 2.82, 95% CI: 1.11–7.15, P = .02). Conclusion The rate of metabolic syndrome in women with or without GDM at 6–12 weeks postpartum is high particularly in women with high BMI. An early postpartum prevention and screening program for cardiovascular risk factors is important for women with GDM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aims Different approaches for screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) have great impact on all process of management of gestational diabetes and its future complications. The aims of this study were to evaluate rate, risk factors and outcomes of GDM based on International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups diagnostic criteria. Materials In a prospective study pregnant women attended 5 clinics in Ahvaz, screened for gestational diabetes mellitus using IADPSG criteria and followed up delivery from August 2014 to February 2015. At the first prenatal visit women underwent the fasting blood sugar test. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed for 750 mothers between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation. Logistic regression test for calculating the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals was used. Results The mean age of participants was 28.43 ± 5.52 years. The overall rate of GDM in our study was 29.9% (224/750). Incidence of gestational diabetes was associated with age group ≥ 35 years [OR = 1.92(95% CI, 1.19–3.09)], family history of diabetes [OR = 2.47(95% CI, 1.33–4.59)], previous GDM [OR = 3.12(1.35–7.19)], BMI ≥ 25 [OR = 1, 71(1.10–2.67)] Using logistic regression. The most common maternal complication in studied women was cesarean section followed by hypertension and preeclampsia. Conclusion About one third of studied women diagnosed as GDM according to the IADPSG criteria. Risk factors of GDM were maternal age, family history of diabetes, Previous GDM, overweight and obesity before pregnancy, the same reported factors with 2 steps approach. Higher rate of GDM using this criterion may increase concern about healthcare costs and workloads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most critical risk factors for complications and death in COVID-19 patients. The present study aims to highlight challenges in the management of diabetic patients during the COVID-19 outbreak in developing countries. We reviewed the literature to obtain information about diabetic care during the Covid-19 crisis. We also seek opinions of clinicians working in undeveloped countries. Current challenges faced by clinicians in the management of diabetic patients in developing countries are as follows: lack of preventive measures, inadequate number of visits, loss of the traditional method of communication with the patient, shortage of medications, impaired routine diabetic care, and absence of telehealth services. Developing countries are faced with many challenges in diabetes management due to a lack of resources. • COVID-19 pandemic may be a potentially diabetogenic situation and may worsen hyperglycemia and diabetes complications. • Challenges faced by developing countries in managing diabetes during COVID-19 outbreak is different from other countries. • Strategies for better management of diabetes care during current crisis should be based on available resources.

• Cancer -related fatigue is one of the main problems in cancer patients. • People have a positive attitude to complementary medicine. •Ginseng is the most common using herbal drug in the Asian countries. Cancer-related fatigue is one of the main problems in cancer patients. Physicians and cancer patients might seek complementary treatments to improve well- being since it is believed that ginseng has numerous beneficial effects. The main aim of this paper is to assess the effects of ginseng supplements to improve cancer-related fatigue in cancer patients. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus from inspection until December 2018. Keywords and phrases are separated by the Boolean operator "AND". The keywords Ginseng "AND" fatigue "AND" cancer "AND" clinical trial" "randomized clinical trial" "OR" neoplasm in the title, abstract, or keywords of the mentioned websites were searched. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized RCTs were included to compare the use of ginseng alone or with any alternative treatment or placebo in cancer patients. In total five RCTs comprising 347 individuals in the ginseng group and 336 individuals in the control group were included. There was a significant heterogeneity between studies (chi-squared Q = 152.29 (df = 4, p-value ≤ 0.001). Based on the proportion of total variance due to between-study variance, this heterogeneity was high (I
2 = 97.4 %). After pooling the data based on the random effect model, the authors observed that ginseng significantly improved fatigue compared to the control group (pooled SMD = 1.24; 95 % CI: 0.05–2.42). This study suggests that ginseng can improve fatigue in cancer patient. However more well-designed randomized trials are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
In the current COVID-19 pandemic, disease diagnosis is essential for optimal management and timely isolation of infected cases in order to prevent further spread. The aim of this study was to systematically review the assessment of risk and model the predictors of mortality in COVID-19 patients. A systematic search was conducted of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. Variables associated with hospital mortality using bivariate analysis were included as potential independent predictors associated with mortality at the p < 0.05 levels. We included 114 studies accounting for 310,494 patients from various parts of the world. For the purpose of this analysis, we set a cutoff point of 10% for the mortality percentages. High mortality rates were defined as higher than 10% of confirmed positive cases and were given a score of two, while low mortality (<10%) was assigned the score of one. We then analyzed the associations between 72 variables and the observed mortality rates. These variables included a large range of related variables such as demographics, signs and symptoms and related morbidities, vital signs, laboratory findings, imaging studies, underlying diseases, and the status of countries' income, based on the United Nation's classifications. Findings suggest that older age, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus conferred a significant increased risk of mortality among patients with COVID-19. In the multivariate analysis, only diabetes mellitus demonstrated an independent relationship with increased mortality. Further studies are needed to ascertain the relationship between possible risk factors with COVID-19 mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
It is well documented that prolonged labor is associated with complications. This systematic review aimed to study the effect of Anethum Graveolens Linn (Dill) on the duration of labor. We conducted a search on PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane central, Web of Science, and MEDLINE. All randomized controlled trials and observational studies evaluating the effect of Dill seeds on labor were recruited. The mean differences (MD) with 95% CI were calculated. Two RCTs showed that using Dill seeds could significantly reduce duration of the first stage (MD = −43.66, 95% CI [-52.99, - 34.33]), second stage (MD = −15.76, 95% CI [-20.06, −11.47]) and third stage of labor (MD = −1.79, 95% CI [-2.62, −0.95]). Two retrospective cohort studies showed a significant reduction in the first, and second stages of labor. Using Dill seeds could reduce the duration of labor. Using this herb in low-risk pregnant women is recommended. Systematic review registration number: CRD42020145225. • This systematic review aimed to study the effect of Dill on the duration of labor. • Boiled Dill seeds could significantly reduce duration of the first, second, and third stage of labor. • Using Dill seeds in Cohort studies, reduced the duration of the first, and second stages of labor. • All recruited studies were from Iran, and we could not find any other study in the literature. • The results of this study should be considered with caution due to the high level of heterogeneity in some analyses.

- Abstract
Background: 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D3 is known to have an effect on reproductive system in both genders and may change the semen parameters in men.Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral vitamin D3 supplementation on spermogram quantitative and qualitative parameters in infertile men.Materials and Methods: This study was a triple-blind randomized controlled trial involving 62 infertile men with impaired spermatogonial tests. They were randomly divided into placebo and D3-supplemented groups. Spermograms and tests for LH (Luteinizing Hormone), FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), TT (Total Testosterone), FT (Free Testosterone), SHBG (Sex Hormone Bonding Globulin), FAI (Free Androgen Index) and vitamin D3 levels were performed before and after the intervention.Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in parameters of the spermograms or serum levels of LH, FSH, TT, and FAI. In the intervention group, SHBG was significantly decreased after intervention (p = 0.01) and there was a significant increase in FT in the placebo group (p = 0.03).Conclusion: The intake of vitamin D3 did not change the quality and quantity of spermograms and serum levels of LH, FSH, TT, and FAI but affected FT and SHBG. Further studies are still needed to clarify the biological role of vitamin D3 on fertility particularly on male fertility. This study lays a foundation for more extensive studies on male infertility.

- Abstract
Introduction: Some studies have investigated the effect of Lavender on pain and the healing of wounds. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of Lavender on pain and wound healing of episiotomy.Methods: The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science (all databases from inception until February 2020) were searched. Data were extracted from eligible studies by two review authors individually. Our inclusion criteria were full-text interventional studies published in English or any other languages. All data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3. The protocol of this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO with the reference number CRD42020140623.Results: Our search found six trials involving 415 participants. The use of Lavender could significantly reduce pain in women with episiotomy (95 % CI: -1.06 - -0.32). The use of Lavender has significantly improved the healing of episiotomy compared to the placebo (95 % CI: -2.13 - -1.34). In all studies, pain and healing of episiotomy were evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, Approximation (REEDA) scale respectively.Conclusion: This review showed that the use of Lavender (in any form) in postpartum has a significant effect on pain relief and healing of episiotomy wound. All six studies that were included in this systematic review were from developing countries. A high level of heterogeneity was observed in the effect of Lavender on pain but not the healing of the episiotomy. Therefore, the results should be considered with caution. Using Lavender may be considered for wound healing of episiotomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Objectives: At the present study, we aimed at evaluating the effect of Salvia officinalis (S. officinalis) extract on "anthropometric indices" and "insulin resistance markers" in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) patients.Design and Setting: This was a randomized, triple-blinded, controlled trial performed in gynecology hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences.Participants: Sixty PCOS patients diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria.Interventions: Consumption of the 330 mg oral S. officinalis extract or placebo capsules daily for eight weeks.Main Outcome Measures: Body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure, homoeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI).Results: Results showed a statistically significant decrease in the BMI (P = 0.001) in S. officinalis group, but, there were no significant differences between the two groups for WHR (P = 0.164). Although we failed to find a significant effect of S. officinalis extract on systolic blood pressure (P = 0.283) but using a multivariate model showed a significant difference between two groups regarding diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.025). Also, the consumption of S. officinalis extract, compared to the placebo, resulted in a significant decrease in Insulin levels (P < 0.001), and HOMA-IR (P < 0.001). As well as, S. officinalis extract supplementation resulted in a greater increase in QUICKI (P < 0.001) compared with placebo groups.Conclusion: S. officinalis extract at a dose of 330 mg/day could decrease BMI and systolic blood pressure, and it could enhance insulin resistance markers in euglycemic PCOS patients.Trial Registration: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT201504146917N2, 2015-10-03).

Background: Fathers' depression is an understudied subject, and the increasing participation of fathers on the care of their children, this is an issue of great importance. This study aimed to determine the relationship of paternal postpartum depression with prenatal and postpartum depression of mothers and their marital satisfaction.Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted among 352 expecting couples in 28-40 weeks of pregnancy and 6-8 weeks after delivery from April to September 2019. Eligible participants were selected from primary health care centers in northern Iran using a two-stage sampling method. Socio-demographic information, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, and ENRICH Couple Scale were used for data collection. The primary basis of data analysis was cross-lagged structural equation modeling to explore the underlying mechanism for paternal postpartum depression.Results: The results showed that a) maternal prenatal depression indirectly (βstand = 0.32, p = 0.004); b) maternal postpartum depression directly (βstand = 0.56, p <0.001); c) paternal prenatal depression indirectly (βstand = 0.11, p = 0.028) were associated with paternal postpartum depression. Also, marital satisfaction directly (βstand = -0.19, p = 0.002) and indirectly (βstand = -0.11, p = 0.007) had a relationship to paternal postpartum depression.Limitations: Culturally-sensitive measures of marital satisfaction, especially in conservative context of developing countries, along with self-reported data of psychological problems may lead to under-reported findings.Conclusion: The major contribution of marital satisfaction and maternal depression during prenatal period on the paternal postpartum depression, emphasizes on the prenatal period as the ideal time for fathers' mental health improvement.
