AIMS: This trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of umbilical vein injection of 400 versus 800 μg misoprostol to deliver retained placenta and to compare both regimens regarding the time of placental delivery and amount of vaginal blood loss.
METHODS: A double-blind, multicenter randomized clinical trial was undertaken in four teaching hospitals in the North of Iraq and Al-Azhar University Hospital in Egypt, from March 2016 to May 2019. Group I (274 women) received 400 μg misoprostol and group II (249 women) received 800 μg misoprostol. Data regarding the time of placental separation and amount of vaginal blood loss were analyzed and proportions were compared between groups using Chi-squared test. Mean values were compared using the Student's t-test. The Mann-Whitney test was used to determine the median of vaginal blood loss.
RESULTS: The proportion of placental separation was 84.3% among women in group I and 86.7% of women in group II. The mean time of placental separation was 18.86 ± 234.2 and 17.86 ± 213.09 min in groups I and II, respectively (P

The prevalence of goitre was determined in several communities in rural parts of Pahang. Urine specimens were collected randomly among the participants. Drinking water from various sources such as river and spring, and water from gravity feed systems was also collected to determine the iodine content by using the ashing method. The results were compared to that of Kuala Lumpur City. lt was found that the prevalence of goitre in rural areas was between 20 and 70% depending on village, ethnic group, age and gender. The interior parts of the jungle where Aborigines lived was moderately endemic with goitre prevalence of goitre more than 20% and urinary iodine content 2.0-5.0 μg I/dl). A nearby Malay traditional village which was studied had mild endemia (prevalence 10-30% and urinary iodine content 5.0-10.0 μg I/dl) while a Felda Malay resettlement scheme and Kuala Lumpur City did not have endemic goitre. Endemic goitre in rural areas was associated with low iodine content in drinking water. Even though Kuala Lumpur had low iodine content in its drinking water there was no endemic goitre, indicating that other factors were more important.
