Pseudomemberanous Colitis following Cesarean Delivery with Adjunctive Intracolonic Vancomycin
Background: Pseudomembranous colitis is a rarely reported condition in obstetrics. The clinical presentation varies from a self-limiting diarrhea to a severe pseudomembranous colitis with toxic megacolon and subsequent death.
Ovarian Ectopic Pregnancy after Endometriomal Cyst Resection, Following In vitro Fertilization (IVF): A Rare Case Report

Lack of Association between the 4234G/C X-Ray Repair Cross-Complementing 2 (XRCC2) Gene Polymorphism and the Risk of Endometrial Cancer among Polish Population
Objective: One of the major causes of carcinogenesis is loss of genome stability. The double-strand break DNA repair pathway, including X-ray repair cross complementing group 2 (XRCC2) gene, is implicated in maintenance integrity of genome and therefore could affect endometrial cancer (EC) risk.
A Rare Case of Asymptomatic Postmenopausal Tubercular Endometritis in Italy
Introduction: Tuberculosis affects about a third of world population. Genitourinary tuberculosis is one of the most common manifestations of extra pulmonary tuberculosis. Postmenopausal tubercular endometritis is an uncommon condition that usually occurs with abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Objective: To explore the level of apolipoprotein A1 expression in human endometrial tissues in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to fertile women.
A Rare Case of Chemical Peritonitis Following Intravesical Botulinum A Injection for Detusor Overactivity
A 72 year old lady attended for elective administration of intravesical Botulinum A toxin (Botox 200iu) injections, as a day-case procedure, for the treatment of detrusor over activity.
Prediction of Ovarian Response by Antimullerian Hormone in Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Randomized Prospective Study
Objective: To assess the effect of high level of circulating antimullerian hormone on the outcome of gonadotrophin ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
A Novel Method of Selective Chromopertubation at Office Hysteroscopy
Introduction: Tubal dysfunction is diagnosed as an underlying cause of infertility in more than one third of cases. Laparoscopy dye is the gold standard procedure to detect tubal patency, but hysterosalpingography (HSG) and hystero-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) is also used.
Validity of Hysteroscopy in Detection of Uterine Cavity Abnormalities in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Objective: To explore the validity of hysteroscopy in detection of uterine cavity abnormalities in women with recurrent pregnancy loss.
The Accuracy of Prediction of Birth Weight by Automated Measurement of Fetal Long Bones Using 5D Long Bone versus VOCAL 3D and Conventional 2D Weight Formulae
Objectives: To assess the accuracy of 5D automated measurement of long bones, three dimensional VOCAL measurement of fetal thigh volume in prediction of fetal weight in comparison to the conventional two dimensional Hadlock formulas.
Co2 Laser Treatment for Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia, Assesment of Recurrence
Objective: To assess the response and evolution of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) after CO2 laser treatment.
Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from a database of 139 women who had VAIN and were referred for treatment with CO2 laser. The lesions were detected following a hysterectomy. Human papillomavirus (HPV) typification was performed in all cases.
Reproducibility of Endometrial Volume by VOCAL in the Prediction of Success Rate of IVF/ICSI in Women with Unexplained Infertility
Objective: To explore the role of estimating endometrial volume by Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis (VOCAL) and it's correlation with endometrial thickness, on the day of hCG, in prediction of IVF/ICSI success.
Plavix versus Low Dose Aspirin Impact on Blood Flow of the Uterine Artery in Women with Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriage
Objective: To evaluate Plavix impact on the perfusion of the uterine artery compared to low dose aspirin in women with unexplained recurrent miscarriage.
Patients and Methods: It was a prospective case control study that was carried out at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital and included women who were presented to the outpatient clinic hospital department due to unexplained recurrent miscarriage. This study was performed over a 2-year period, between January 2014 and January 2016. 105 patients were recruited and divided into two arms.
Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication of supraphysiologic ovarian stimulation but infrequently has been described in spontaneous pregnancy.
Aim: To present a case of a woman in spontaneous pregnancy complicated by OHSS.
Results: A 32-year-old gravida 1, para 1 with spontaneous conception, was diagnosed with moderate OHSS at the 11th week of gestation and was managed conservatively. The woman delivered vaginally at term a health female infant.
Second Trimeter Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in Women with History of PCOS
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is one of the most frustrating and difficult areas in reproductive medicine because the etiology is often unknown. Hyperinsulinemia ascribed to PCOS and insulin resistance (IR) seem to be a contributing factor to RPL.
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum homocysteine level and insulin resistance in PCOS women with a history of send trimester recurrent pregnancy loss.
