Effect of hypothyroidism on ovarian reserve status in Iraqi women: hormonal study
...Show More Authors

Background: Hypothyroidism is a clinical syndrome prevalent in women, even those of reproductive age. Ovarian reserve can be defined as the number and quality of follicles in the ovary at any given time. Evaluation of ovarian reserve is recommended for patients at risk of decreased ovarian reserve. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of hypothyroidism on ovarian reserve in Iraqi women by hormonal measurements of serum anti-mullerian hormones AMH, FSH, and LH. Subjects and methods: This case–control study was carried out at the Department of Biochemistry, College of Medicine, University of Baghdad, in collaboration with Endocrinology and Diabetes Clinic, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, and National Center for Teaching Laboratories, Medical City, during the period from November 2021 to March 2022. This study involved 88 women, age range (20-40 years). Fifty-one of them [Group I (GI)] had primary hypothyroidism and were diagnosed by an endocrinologist based on clinical analysis and thyroid function tests, including serum TSH, T4 and T3. Patients with symptoms and signs suggestive of hypothyroidism and elevated TSH with T4 less than the reference level were considered overt hypothyroidism. While patients with elevated TSH with standard T4 and T3 were considered subclinical hypothyroidism 1 , serum thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) was used to differentiate hypothyroidism patients with Hashimoto`s disease 2 . Thirty-seven of the included women were healthy and served as a control group and referred to group II (GII). Results: The mean (±SD) value of serum AMH of hypothyroidism women was significantly lower than that of controls (p < 0.0001). However, the mean value of AMH did not differ significantly between women who had overt and subclinical hypothyroidism, regular and irregular menstrual cycle, well and poorly controlled thyroid status, and who had positive and negative anti-TPO. The mean (±SD) value of serum LH of hypothyroidism women was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.004), while that of FSH did not differ significantly. Serum TSH levels positively correlated with LH levels (r=0.3, p 0.03). In addition, BMI values were significantly positively correlated with FSH levels (r= 0.3, p 0.04). Conclusions: This study suggested the need for serum measurement of AMH in women suffering from hypothyroidism. Keywords: hypothyroidism, ovarian reserve, AMH.

Reproductive Dysfunction in Women with PCOS: A Review Article
...Show More Authors

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a significant cause of infertility due to ovulation dysfunction in women of childbearing age. Although the pathogenesis of PCOS is still not clear, many studies have shown that many factors within the ovary promote infection. With this syndrome, the disruption of the natural monthly ovulation process causes an imbalance in the body's hormones, and the high level of insulin in the body and the blood sugar imbalance leads to the occurrence of hyperandrogenism, which is the main factor for the occurrence of pathogens, in addition to genetic factors, if any. This study aims to identify this disease and its most important causes, symptoms, and modern treatments to prevent and get rid of it. Polycystic

This study was conducted to know some Immune responses in women with vaginal candidias is by Candidia species. Hemoglubin (Hb) was decreased significantly in patient women comparing with control group. The differential count of Blood cells revealed that neutrophils and monocytcs were increased significantly in patient women comparing with control group. The percentage of the Phagocytosis index was decreased significantly in patient women (66.45 + 15.05) comparing with control group (73.72 + 3.77) and the T- lymphocytes were decreased also in patient women (57.75 + 18.787) comparing with control group (74.25 + 7.759).

Methods: Thirty-four pregnant women with vaginal
condidiasis (as demonstrated by microscopy) were enrolled
in this study. The patients were nearly similar in their
anthropometric and demographic criteria with those of the
healthy pregnant women (control group, forty –two
women). Fasting plasma sugar and glucose tolerance test
were alone for all patients and control group.

It was recorded that Terpinen-4-ol has an anti-parasitic properties, so it will be noteworthy to intensify the studies about this compound.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of terpinen-4-ol on amastigote forms of Leishmania parasite in macrophages.

This effect was studied by adding increasing concentrations  of  Terpinen-4-ol to  culture wells containing mouse macrophages that were previously incubated with the promastigote forms of the parasites for 24 hours .Then, they were incubated for another 24 hours with increasing concentrations of Terpinen-4-ol.  After, Parasites were enumerated into macrophages in wells either treated with Terpinen-4-ol or in control wells.
