Patterns in labor progress, including cervical dilatation rate and labor duration, differed among patients with different BMI. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02686073.

BackgroundAngiogenesis has been found to be among the most important factors in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The formation of new blood vessels is critical for the survival of newly implanted endometriotic foci. The use of 3-D power Doppler allows for the demonstration of the dynamic vascular changes that occur during the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). We aimed to evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma on uterine and ovarian blood flow in infertile women.Materials and methodsIn a case–control study at a university teaching hospital, 138 women with unilateral ovarian endometrioma scheduled for IVF were compared to 138 women with male-factor or unexplained infertility. In the mid-luteal (peri-implantation) phase of the cycle, endometrial thickness, uterine and ovarian artery pulsatility index and resistance index, endometrial and ovarian volume, 3-D power Doppler vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization FI (VFI) values were measured in both groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences (P>0.05) in endometrial thickness, uterine ovarian artery pulsatility index and resistance index, endometrial and ovarian volume, or VI, FI, and VFI between the two groups. Furthermore, the endometrial and ovarian Doppler indices were not influenced by endometrioma size. No significant differences were observed in the ovarian Doppler indices between endometrioma-containing ovaries and contralateral ovaries.ConclusionOvarian endometrioma is not associated with impaired endometrial and ovarian blood flows in infertile women scheduled for IVF, and it is not likely to affect endometrial receptivity or ovarian function through a vascular mechanism.

Intramural fibroids > 4 cm significantly increase endometrial vascularity. This increase in blood flow may be a factor that affects the outcome of IVF.

Potato is considered one of the most important vegetable crops for supplying the world's nutritional needs. For healthy growth, production, and tuber quality, potato needs a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertiliser as well as a lot of other crucial nutrients like calcium and magnesium. Therefore, this research work was conducted to examine the effects of calcium, magnesium and zinc commercial fertilizers(Manni-Plex®Ca-Mag, and Ca-Zn) at ratios of 350 cm/100L.fad (0.24, 0.13, 0.15 g/L for Ca, Mg and Zn, respectively) and 450 cm/100L.fad (0.32, 0.15, 0.17 g/L for Ca, Mg and Zn, respectively)on potato growth and productivity. This experiment was carried out at a private farm in the El-Kassasin region,Ismailia, Egypt during the two 2021 and 2022 winter seasons. Five treatments were organized as a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Results displayed that the exogenous application of Manni-Plex® Ca-Mag and Manni-Plex® Ca-Zn at ratios of 350 cm/100L.fad and 450 cm/100L.fad significantly improved plant fresh weight, chlorophyll content, and plant dry weight as well as tubers yield, tuber quality (dry matter percentage, starch and protein contents), and shoot and tuber content of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Zn. In conclusion, the foliar application of Manni-Plex® Manni-Plex® Ca-Mg, and Ca-Zn at a ratio of 450 cm/L. fad may be a superior option for enhancing potato plant growth and tuber quality in sandy soils. The current results propose that foliar addition of the aforementioned fertilizers can be a promising approach to improving potato growth and productivity in. newly reclaimed soil.
