The effects of misoprostol use on cervical priming prior to hysteroscopy have been controversial. Therefore, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of studies were conducted to assess the effect of misoprostol on cervical priming prior to hysteroscopy. All studies published before July 2014 with data related to the use of misoprostol for cervical priming compared with placebo or no me...

OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labour. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pregnant women with singleton low risk pregnancy at term scheduled for elective induction of labour were randomized to receive either 25 μg or 50 μg of vaginal misoprostol for pre-labour cervical ripening. All the patients received antenata...

Prostaglandins of the E series (PGE) are known to contribute to the maintenance of renal hemodynamics in subjects with chronic renal insufficiency. Agents that block PGE synthesis, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAID), are widely used by people with renal insufficiency. This study was undertaken in subjects with renal insufficiency secondary to diabetes to evaluate the acute effects of...

objective: in this study efficacy of sub lingual misoprostol was examined in comparison to oxytocin (i.v.) for inducing of labor in term pregnancy. materials and methods: seventy patients were allocated by blocked randomization to groups a (n=35, sub lingual misoprostol 25 μg four hourly to maximum of 5 doses) and b (n=35, continuous oxytocin infusion). results: delivery active phase and total ...

Nanometal oxides were extracted from cement factories wastes and employed to proliferate skin cancer cells using MTT (Methyl Thiazolyl Tetraolium) assay. assay results for cell line A375,for CaO NPs the best concentration was 200 μg/mL,The viability reduced 57.28% while IC50 (69.66) g/mL A375 normal WRL68 significantly higher (231.2 g/mL). The cytotoxicity of CaO: MgO: Fe2O3 NPs, at concentrati...

BACKGROUND Induction of labor for postdate pregnancy using misoprostol is one of the most common interventions in pregnancy. However, the optimal dose of misoprostol is yet to be determined with previous reports utilizing different dosages. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of 25 μg versus 50 μg of intravaginal misoprostol for induction of ...
