The objective of this study was to determine the trends in national rates of peripartum hysterectomy (PH) and uterine arterial embolization (UAE) in Korea. We used data collected by the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service of Korea and analyzed data from patients who gave birth during the period from 2005 to 2008. There were 1785,178 deliveries during the study period, including 2636 ca...

GDP (Gross domestic product) and per capita GDP data of six GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries were collected and analysed by randomized complete bock design and pair-wise multiple comparison. It is observed that GDP of Saudi Arabia is significantly higher than that of all other GCC countries. The GDP of Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait are similar. The GDP of UAE is significantly higher t...

In recent years, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) has attracted growing interest, as it is an effective method for the rapid extraction of a number of compounds from food and environmental samples, with extraction efficiency comparable to that of classical techniques. In particular, recently, numerous analytical applications of this technique dealt with the extraction of natural compounds a...

Arterial hypertension together with proteinuria is one of the most important factors associated with the progression of both diabetic and nondiabetic chronic kidney disease. Reduction of blood pressure is an efficient way of slowing the progression of this damage whereas antihypertensive drugs vary in their proteinuriaand microalbuminurialowering effects. The objective of the present study was ...

Four design alternatives for lateral force-resisting systems of tall buildings in Dubai, UAE are presented. Quantitative comparisons between the different designs are also made. This paper is intended to provide different feasible lateral systems to be used in Dubai in light of the available seismic hazard studies of the UAE. The different lateral systems are chosen in conformance with the Inte...

United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Gulf Region value their health care system above any other social program. The UAE's system of health care faces significant financial and population pressures, relating to cost, access, quality, accountability, and the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The privatization of many Governmental hospitals by foreign specialized Insti...

Recently a growing amount of interest has been focused on new risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as insulin, leptin, homocysteine, and urinary albumin excretion (UAE). Furthermore, the absence of a nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decrease is emerging as an index for future target organ damage. In the present study we aimed to determine the relationship between these risk factors and ci...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and complications of uterine artery embolization (UAE) versus laparoscopic occlusion of uterine vessels (LOUV) in the management of symptomatic fibroids. METHODS A pilot randomized clinical trial in which 20 patients with symptomatic fibroids were randomly allocated into two groups. Ten women underwent UAE, and 10 women underwent LOUV. Symptomatic improvemen...

Background: Uterine fibroma was a general gynecologic condition. When pharmacological therapies fail, surgical interferences such as myomectomy, hysterectomy, or embolization of uterine artery (UAE) are used as that state. This study aimed to compare hormone of anti-Mullerian measure among two methods of UAE, myomectomy into the treatment of uterine fibroma. Material and Method: In this clinica...

Hyperfiltration has been documented in type 1 diabetes and may contribute to the high risk for development of albuminuria and progression of nephropathy. However, recent studies suggest that the risk of progression to albuminuria in type 1 diabetes was not increased by hyperfiltration. We investigated associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin excretion rate...
