Assisted reproductive techniques used in the treatment of infertility have been promising methods for infertile individuals. Embryo selection and embryo transfer are an important part of assisting reproductive techniques. The selection of the embryo to be transferred is important for implantation and clinical pregnancy success. In addition, whether to use a fresh embryo or frozen embryo for embryo transfer is a contr Read More

Introduction: The increasing rate of cesarean section and its greater number of complications compared to vaginal childbirth invoke efforts to reduce perioperative complications through evidence-based techniques. Objective: The present study mainly aims to assess the effect of intrauterine cleaning after placental delivery in the cesarean section on the frequency of endometritis (primary outcome) and postpartu Read More

Background: The use of pharmacological pain relief methods during labour is increasing, however, there is no clear evidence that pharmacological interventions can also improve women’s satisfaction with the birth experience. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions on women's satisfaction with birth experience (primary outcome) and satisfaction with the received method (secondary ou Read More

The diagnos Read More

Background: Failure to attain pregnancy or even miscarriage leads to a challenging type of infertility which is premature ovarian failure (POF). Stem cells have the ability to repair ovarian damage; adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (AT-SCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) have demonstrated promising regenerative abilities in several diseases, including POF. Methods: Various experiments were perfor Read More

Background: Anemia is a major public health problem with raising prevalence worldwide, including Bangladesh.
