Background & Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disease in women of childbearing age. The inflammation has participated in the metabolic disorders and irregular menstruation associated with this disease. This study was carried out to correlate between the disturbance of pro-inflammatory markers resistin, adiponectin and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS.Materials & Methods: Fasting blood samples were collected from 100 PCO married infertile women (23.30±4.659 years) attending Bint AL-Hoda and Al-Shatra hospitals in Thi- Qar province - Iraq, in addition to 50 healthy age matched (23.84±4.804 years) control, through the period from June 2022 to December 2022.Results: The BMI of PCO patients (27.22±7.20) was significantly (<0.001) more that BMI of the healthy control (22.84±4.63). PCO patients showed significantly elevation of serum levels of resistin (470.00±114.00 vs 350.00±90.60 ng/l, P<0.01 (and significant decline of adiponectin (5.13±1.22 vs 11.00±1.40 mg/l, P<0.001) in comparison with healthy control. PCO patients also showed significant elevation of the serum glucose (P<0.01), total cholesterol (P<0.05), triglycerides (P<0.001) and LDL (P<0.001). However, serum HDL level was insignificant declined and VLDL was insignificantly elevated in PCO group compared with healthy control group.Conclusion: Adiponectin and resistin represented part of the pathophysiology of PCO, and may serve as beneficial indicator in the diagnosis and treatment.

Background & Objective: Infertility is the inability to become pregnant despite trying for at least a year. Infertility is also referred to as when a woman continues to experience miscarriages. Environmental factors, lifestyle, hormone issues, physical problems, and age can all contribute to female infertility. About 10-12% of couples struggle with infertility, a multifaceted issue with ramifications for society, the economy, and culture. The majority of female infertility cases are caused by issues with egg production. By analyzing samples from infertility clinics, the current study aims to investigate the degree of female infertility in Erbil, Iraq, while covering all facets of the condition.Materials & Methods: 595 infertile females receiving medical counseling from three infertile institutions between February 2020 to December 2021 were screened for the current study. In addition to anthropometric measurements, information about the etiology, duration, and lifestyle, factors of infertility has been gathered using a standardized questionnaire. Additionally, the sample was subjected to clinical examinations. Five groups of reproductive abnormalities were identified. Around 61.79% of women in the infertile group for the first two years had tubal obstruction, and 49.92% had hormonal deficiencies. Ovulation defects (4.62%) and undersized uteri (4.82%) predominated in the >10-year infertile group. Both weight and body mass index have shown a favorable association with infertility duration.Results: Our findings demonstrated a significant correlation between body mass index and infertility. Most academic and wealthy groups pursued medical advice to resolve issues related to infertility.Conclusion: Finally, it is suggested that female infertility can be managed and cured with hormone therapy, laparoscopic procedures, minor surgical procedures, and medicine.
