Among 2,496 infertile Israeli women treated between 1964 and 1974, 143 cancer cases were observed as compared with 116.1 expected (standardized incidence ratio (SIR) = 1.2,95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.0–1.5) through 1991. Site-specific analysis revealed 12 ovarian cancers versus 7.2 (SIR 1.6, 95% Cl 0.8–2.9), 21 endometrial 4.3 4.85, 3.0–7.4), 59 breast 46.6 1.3,95% 0.96–1.6). Sensitivity that confounding was unlikely to explain the raised risk of cancer, but nulliparity might increased...
Abstract This 2-year cross-sectional evaluation of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections involved all Israeli medical centers that treat cystic fibrosis patients. The study comprised 186 patients whose sputum was analyzed for NTM. prevalence NTM isolates 22.6%, and 6.5% 10.8% the fulfilled 1997 2007 American Thoracic Society criteria lung disease, respectively. Mycobacterium simiae (40.5%), M. abscessus (31.0%), avium complex (14.3%) were most prevalent. Presence Aspergillus spp. in...
BACKGROUND: Early-onset sepsis (EOS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality among infants a very low birth weight (VLBW); however, there sparse amount of complete data on large cohorts. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the major morbidities VLBW EOS. METHODS: This was population-based observational study. Data were prospectively collected by Israel Neonatal Network all born in from 1995 through 2005. Univariate multivariable analyses performed to assess independent association EOS...
This study aimed to examine differences in symptom clusters among women midlife from different cultural origins and identify sociodemographic, lifestyle, health characteristics that could account for the between groups reporting.Israeli aged 45-64 were randomly selected according age population strata of three groups: long-term Jewish residents (LTR), immigrants former Soviet Union, Arab (mostly Israeli-born). Interviews conducted with 540 LTR, 151 immigrants, 123 women. The survey...
We hypothesized that maternal diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk for mortality, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and major complications of prematurity.Analysis prospectively collected (1995-2007) Israel National Very Low Birth Weight Infant Database. Maternal DM was recorded as pregestational or gestational. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used to assess independent effect status on infant RDS, other prematurity.Infants mothers with (n = 120) gestational 825) were...
COVID-19 infection imposes a risk for pregnant individuals and may lead to adverse maternal obstetric outcomes. This is retrospective cohort study of all women giving birth between March July 2021 at single tertiary center. Obstetric neonatal outcomes were compared vaccinated non-vaccinated with singleton pregnancies. Women prior infection, multiple gestations stillbirth excluded from the study. Of 4708 who delivered during period, 3700 met eligibility criteria, whom 3240 pregnancy. Compared...
This study was undertaken to investigate the role of autoantibodies in association with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer failure. Anticardiolipin, lupus anticoagulant, anti-deoxyribonucleic acid antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor antithyroid antibody concentrations were measured. The group comprised 50 IVF patients three or more previously failed cycles after transfer. control 80 computer-matched women: 40 who had conceived delivered following less cycles, healthy...
The study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of prednisone and aspirin in autoantibody seropositive patients with repeated vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF ET) failure.The group comprised 52 consecutive for non-organ-specific autoantibodies, i.e., anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA), anti-nuclear (ANA), anti-double-stranded (ds) DNA, rheumatoid factor (RF), lupus anti-coagulant (LAC). These were treated prednisone, 10 mg per day, aspirin, 100 starting 4 weeks before induction...
To discover the factors contributing to endometrial thickness, and assess impact of thickness on pregnancy rates (PRs) according these factors.Retrospective study.In vitro fertilization unit in a university hospital.All women with primary infertility no previous pregnancies who underwent IVF treatment at Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel, between August 9, 2001-December 31, 2004.Measurement by use transvaginal ultrasound probe day that hCG was administered during an...
OBJECTIVES: The goals were to assess risk factors and mortality rate changes over time develop simple estimates of rates for specific groups infants at 23 26 weeks gestation. METHODS: Data from the Israel national very low birth weight infant database on 3768 born in 1995–2006 with gestational ages (GAs) evaluated, we developed a tool estimating infants' rates. RESULTS: Major associated death GA, gender-specific percentile, prenatal steroid therapy, multiple births. There was steady decrease...
The goal was to describe the lipid profile and insulin changes seen in obese children adolescents at different stages of puberty.A cross-sectional study conducted by chart review 181 (BMI > 95th) 5 17 years age, who were referred Center for Atherosclerosis Prevention cardiovascular risk reduction from January 2003 through December 2003.Eighty (44.2%) subjects <12 101 (55.8%) >or=12 years. Severity obesity as expressed BMI standard deviation score did not differ between these age groups. A...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate possible risk for cancer development in infertile women with over 30 years follow-up. Cancer assessed through linkage National Registry updated 31 December 2005 a cohort 2431 who were treated infertility at Sheba Medical Center Israel during period 1964–1974 and contributed more than 84,000 Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) calculated between observed cases expected rates general population. mean age end follow-up 62.7 years. Eighteen ovarian as...
