Background: Evaluating medical colleges' teaching staff performance is an essential topic for evaluating academic performance. Objective: To assess the academic performance of the teaching staff in the pediatric, surgical, and gynecology branches in comparison to the medicine branch performance from 2014 to 2018. Methods: The total number and the number of failed students being examined in final years were obtained officially from the examination committee in Mustansiriyah Medical College for the final 6th-year students for the four main branches (medicine, pediatrics, surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology). The students' number in the medicine branch was used as the control group against which the performance of other branches was compared. We utilized the odds ratio from meta-analysis statistics and compared student failure and success rates. Results: The odd ratio of pediatric branch performance versus medicine branch was 1.02 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.68–1.53, while for surgery, it was 0.67 with a 95% CI (0.46 to 0.98) and 3.13 with a 95% CI (1.79 to 5.47) for the obstetrics and the gynecology departments. Conclusion: The performance of the pediatric branch was the only one compatible with the performance of the medicine branch. In contrast, both the surgery and gynecology branches significantly deviated from the medicine branch's performance. Further research is needed to pinpoint the causes of these performance deviations.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new and rapidly developing health crisis. Ongoing research looks at the prevalence and consequences of COVID-19 in the obstetric community and postnatal period. In the COVID-19 era, pregnant mothers were prone to infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with a higher risk of poor pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, an accurate and early diagnosis is necessary for this vulnerable group screening for asymptomatic carriers is a cornerstone to limiting the COVID-19 pandemic. It is vital to evaluate patients’ clinical symptoms and epidemiological history carefully. Although the serological test, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), can confirm infection, it cannot determine the degree or severity of the illness. Moreover, it has false-negative results. Imaging tests allow an exact diagnosis of lung damage, the severity of the disease, and the classification of patients. Comprehensive analysis of serological and imaging data will assist in the formation of an appropriate clinical diagnosis. This review will discuss what is new and important in confirming COVID-19 infection in pregnant women and the pros and cons of each.

Obesity impacts human health in more than one way. The influence of obesity on human reproduction and fertility has been extensively examined. Bariatric surgery (BS) has been used as an effective tool to achieve long-term weight loss in both sexes. BS improves hormonal profiling, increasing the odds of spontaneous pregnancy and success rates following assisted reproductive techniques in infertile females. For obese males, BS does improve sexual function and hormonal profile; however, conflicting reports discuss reduced sperm parameters following BS. Although the benefits of BS in the fertility field are acknowledged, many areas call for further research, like choosing the safest surgical techniques, determining the optimal timing to get pregnant, and resolving the uncertainty of sperm parameters.

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common alignment that complicates pregnancy, especially for preeclampsia cases; therefore earlier detection is crucial to improve the outcome. Objective: We examine whether the ratio of maternal serum fibrinogen to serum uric acid (ms F/U) can serve as a marker FGR in patients with preeclampsia at 34 weeks. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study recruited 98 preeclamptic primigravidae at the University Teaching Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019. Patients were sent for laboratory and ultrasound examinations. Maternal parameters include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum fibrinogen, and serum uric acid. Ultrasonic fetal parameters include amniotic fluid index AFI, estimated fetal weight EFW, pulsatility index PI, and resistance index RI. Results: Pearson’s correlation between ms F/U ratio and all other feto-maternal variables was significant as P value was <0.0001. The ms F/U ratio showed strong positive correlations with EFW and AFI. The ms F/U ratio showed strong inverse correlations with PI, RI, systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and albumin/creatinine ratio. The strength of association tested by a coefficient of Mallow showed the strongest association between ms F/U versus fetal weight. The highest Odd ratio for FGR was 45, associated with the ms F/U ratio. The cutoff value for ms F/U ratio was 26.08 mg/dL with an estimated sensitivity and specificity of 85% and 96.25%, respectively, with an AUC of 0.82. Conclusion: Strong and significant correlation of ms F/U ratio with feto-maternal parameters at high sensitivity and specificity added to its simplicity, and cost-effectiveness makes ms F/U ratio a reliable marker for earlier FGR to improve the outcome.

Defining con-founders that affect the reliability of diagnostic tests for coronavirus disease 2019 is vital to breaking the chain of infection. The elderly population is a higher risk group for the emerging virus. However, gender seems to exert a critical role in modifying the infection risk among women owing to hormonal changes. The menopause transition is an exceptional period for older women where the protective and immunomodulatory effects of the estrogen hormone are lost. Accordingly, attention should be given to postmenopausal women since they will have an increased risk compared to their pre-menopausal peers.
