[Survey relationship between the severity of hyperemesis gravidarum and fetus sexuality]

Hyperemesis Gravidarum [HG] is the extreme amount of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The incidence of this problem is between 0.3- 2%. HG is multifactorial disorder which fetal sexuality is one of them and some studies indicated the relation between HG and female fetus. Survey the relationship between the severity of hyperemesis gravidarum and fetus sexuality. All medical cases of pregnant women who referred to Alzahra hospital from 1997 to 2007 were considered as a descriptive- analytical study. Known cases of HG were selected [separated] between them. Variables such as fetal sexuality, duration of hospitalization, age, parity, pregnancy trimester, biochemical tests were extracted and analyzed with SPSS 14 and Fisher exact test. Among 197 cases, 150 cases [76.14%] were selected because of their full information 80.2% of women with female fetus, stayed >/= 4 days at the hospital. This amount was 33.9% in women with male fetus [p< 0.0001]. Ketonuria >/= 3+ [P0.016], Hyponatremia [P0.035], Hyperuremia [P0.045] were 16.5%, 41.8%, 62.6% in the first group and this amount were 3.4%, 23.7%, and 3.61% in the second group. 84.6% of women with female fetus and 64.4% of women with male fetus hospitalized in their first trimester [p=0.006]. HG was sever in 79.1% of women with female fetus and 61% of women with male fetus [p= 0.025]. This study showed statistical relationship between fetus Sexuality and severity of HG. The severity of this problem get raised with ketonuria, Hyperurmia, Hypernatermia and hospitalization in the first trimester

[Efficacy and safety of herbal drug, Hypericum perforatum in the treatment of premature ejaculation]

Premature ejaculation is the most prevalent form of male sexual dysfunction. Efforts to develop novel drugs safer than existing therapies are continued. Assessment of efficacy of Hypericum Perforatum in the treatment of premature ejaculation. This is the double blind, randomized placebo- controlled study. In this study were selected 50 married men [18-50 years old] who were referred to urology department of Razi hospital in Rasht from 2007 to 2008 with premature ejaculation were selected. These patients were divided to control and cases groups. Hypericum [160mg tablets] were prescribed for case group and placebo for control group. All participants completed IIEF-15 questionnaire before and after treatment. Intra vaginal latency time [IVLT] was measured before and after treatment. The results were analyzed using chi-square and paired t-test. After 4 weeks, there was difference in IVLT between 2 groups. This difference was statically significant [P<0.001]. There was an increase in two variables of the IIEF-15 [Intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction] in hypericum perforatum group [p<0.001]. In 3 participants drug was discontinued because of adverse reactions. It seems that hypericum perforatum may be regarded as a safe and effective alternative in the treatment of premature ejaculation

[Survey and comparison of the urinary calcium level in normal and calcium stone forming groups]

Urinary stones are the third common disease in the urinary system. Because there is not any study about Hypercalciuria in normal people and patients with stone in our province [Guilan], we decided to evaluate and compare the level of urinary calcium in normal people and patients with urinary stones. Survey of the urinary calcium level in normal and calcium stone forming groups. This is a descriptive, retrospective study. Our cases were the people who had attended to Razi Hospital outpatient ward during 2004-6 and included 502 people without history of urinary tract stone [group 1], 391 patients with history of an episode of urinary tract stone [group 2] and 109 patients with history of more than one episode of urinary stone [group 3]. We extracted requested information such as age, sex, Urine Ca 24h level, serum Ca level and stone analysis from the files and data analyzed by t-test. The most common stone was Calcium Oxalate [95%]. The mean level of urinary calcium was 156 +/- 7 mg/dl in group 1, 163 +/- 7 mg/dl in group 2 and 183 +/- 5 mg/dl in group 3. There was a significant statistical difference between these 3 groups [p<0.05]. Hypercalciuria is a risk factor for stone formation, so we can use as a protective method to inhibit stone formation
