Oxytocin versus prostaglandins for labour Induction of women with an unfavourable cervix after 24 hours of cervical ripening (OPIC): protocol for an open multicentre randomised non-inferiority trial
Introduction It remains uncertain whether the most appropriate management for women with an unfavourable cervix after 24 hours of cervical ripening is repeating the ripening procedure or proceeding directly to induction by oxytocin. No adequately powered trial has compared these strategies. We hypothesise that induction of labour with oxytocin among women who have just undergone an ineffective first ripening procedure is not associated with a higher risk of caesarean delivery than a repeated cervical ripening with prostaglandins. Methods and analysis We will conduct a multicentre, non-inferiority, open-label, randomised c...

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Wormwood vaginal gel in improving sexual function and sexual satisfaction in women of reproductive age: a Randomized, Triple-Blinds, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Sexual dysfunction in women is a growing problem in the world, which according to studies, affects 10-52% of men and 25-63% of women [1,2]. In a systematic study and meta-analysis (2016), the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in 215,740 women of reproductive age was reported at 41% [3].

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 4916: Resveratrol Effects on the Reproductive System in Ovariectomized Rats: Deciphering Possible Mechanisms
arii Kobyliak Phytoestrogen resveratrol (R) has been demonstrated to benefit human reproductive health. However, R bioavailability and pharmacokinetics are still problematic under oral supplementation. We used an experimental vaginal gel with R and hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties. The study aimed to assess the impact of vaginal R-HA gel on the reproductive system in ovariectomized rats. Methods: The study was carried out on Wistar female rats. It investigated the body weight, tail temperature, vaginal pH, estrogen and progesterone blood levels, and immunohistochemical biom...
