The objective of the research was to investigate the potential correlation between serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and sperm parameters such as sperm concentration, sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm morphology. A hundred male patients voluntarily participated in the study at a private andrology clinic in Al Najaf Al Ashraf City, Iraq, between October 2023 and November 2023. The patients were divided into four groups: 26 patients with oligozoospermia, 21 patients with asthenozoospermia, 28 patients with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), and those with normozoospermia. Semen quality was evaluated by conducting a semen analysis according to the 2021 World Health Organization guidelines. The ELISA method was employed to measure the levels of AMH in serum samples. Biotechnology Instrument, USA, manufactured the ELIZA components that were used. The average age of the participants was 30.85 ± 0.70 years, BMI was 27.60 ± 0.58 kg/m2, and serum AMH was 2.08 ± 0.11 ng/ml. We did not find any negative or positive correlation between AMH levels in the blood with sperm concentration, sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm morphology in all study groups. The results of this study showed that serum AMH is an unreliable marker for predicting spermatogenic abnormalities.
Preeclampsia-eclampsia still continues to be one of the major causes of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. Recent evidence suggests that there may be several underlying causes or predispositions leading to develop this syndrome, which not only affects the mother but significantly affects the fetal growth and development.The objective of the study was to assess the difference in birth weight in pregnancy with and without preeclampsia . A case – control study at Al-kadhmya teaching hospital The study included 200 pregnant women with singleton viable gestation presented in labor who were admitted to hospital.A comparison of 100 women in the preeclamptic group and 100 women in the non-preeclamptic group in terms of maternal age, parity, gestational age at delivery, placental weight, and fetal birth weight and sex. Detailed obstetric and general medical history was taken and general and obstetric examination performed. The newborn infants were carefully examined and weighed, and the APGAR score was assessed after delivery. The fresh placenta was examined and then weighed with the membranes and cord attached.At low placental weight, preeclampsia had significant association with low birth weight (35%). However, at high placental weight, preeclampsia had non-significant association with high birth weight (4%). Birth weight of neonatal case group was close to birth weight of control group especially at late onset of preeclampsia but this was not significant statistically .Preeclampsia is multisystemic disorder and it is (the disease of theories) these result suggest that preeclampsia may represent different entities with different degree of placental involvement and different degree of fetal growth and development.
