AIM:To construct new fetal biometric charts and equations for some fetal biometric parameters for women between 12th and 41st weeks living in Ismailia and Port Said Governorates in Egypt.MATERIAL AND METHODS:This cross-sectional study was carried out on 656 Egyptian women (from Ismailia and Port Said governorates) with an uncomplicated pregnancy, and all were sure of their dates. The selected group was between the 12th and 41st weeks of gestation, recruited from the district general hospital in Ismailia and Port Said to measure ultrasonographically biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL), then for each measurement separate regression models were fitted to estimate both the mean and the Standard deviation at each gestational age.RESULTS:New Egyptian charts were reported for BPD, HC, AC, and FL. Reference equations for the dating of pregnancy were presented. The mean of the previous measurements at 12th and 41st weeks were as follows: (23.37, 98.72), (83.05, 336.12), (67.85, 332.57) and (12.50, 74.92) respectively.CONCLUSION:New fetal biometric charts and regression equations for pregnant women living in Port Said & Ismailia governorates in Egypt.
Background: The potential association of serum progesterone on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration with the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI] cycles has been one of the major controversies in the endocrinology of ovarian stimulation. Aim of the work: This study was conducted to estimate the net effect of progesterone elevation on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin [hCG] on pregnancy outcome in women undergoing fresh embryo transfer in control ovarian stimulation using long agonist and antagonist protocols. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study included a total of 177 patients who were indicated for ICSI. The included cases were divided into three groups according to progesterone level at the day of hCG. Both progesterone and E2 were estimated at the day of triggering. Results: Serum progesterone levels did not differ between cases who got pregnancy and who did not (p=0.435). Estrogen/Progesterone ratio was not significantly different between pregnant and non-pregnant females (p= 0.842). Conclusion: Progesterone level on the day of hCG administration does not have any effect on ICSI outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
