Introduction: Many factors lead the mothers to premature rupture of the amniotic membranes and preterm birth. Since periodontal diseases is considered as a risk factor for premature rupture of amniotic membranes, this study was performed to evaluate the relationship of premature rupture of membranes before term with periodontal diseases. Methods: This cases-control study was conducted on 100 pregnant women who referred to Qaem and Imam Reza hospitals in Mashhad, Iran from 2011-2012. Women were evaluated in two groups: 50 women in case group (preterm premature rupture of the amniotic membranes and gestational age37 weeks). Both groups were systemically healthy. In the examination, the indexes such as gingival bleeding, extent and severity of periodontal disease, tooth plaque and mean probing depth (MPD) were evaluated using William’s periodontal probe. Data was analyzed using SPSS software (version 16) and Fisher's exact test, Chi-square, t-test, Mann-Whitney and t-student tests. PResults: there were significant differences in bleeding index, extent and severity index, and mean probing depth and tooth plaque index between case and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusions: Periodontal diseases can be considered as an independent risk factor of preterm premature rupture of amniotic membranes.

Introduction: Studies performed related to menopause through passage of time have been very different in terms of approaches and theoretical perspectives of research. Getting familiarize with these various research could be useful for planning evidence based care programs. This review was conducted with aim to examine the evolution process in different research approaches about the issues related to menopause. Methods: In this review article, 60 related articles related to menopause were searched from the databases including Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Magiran and SID until 2 May 2015 using keywords of “menopause”, “transition period”, “post-menopause”, “bio-medical paradigm”, “psycho-social approach”, and ”naturalistic paradigm”. These articles were examined closely in terms of their adopted research approach and were arranged and then compared based on allegiance with three biomedical, psycho-social or naturalistic paradigm in comparative tables. Results: Bio-medical approach see menopause as the decrease in the estrogen level and disease and try to treat it. Psycho-social approach seek to find other interpretation than decreased level of estrogen such as the empty nest syndrome to explain the menopause. Naturalistic perspective tries to discover women’s perceptions, experiences and feelings using their own words. Conclusions: Recognition of three research paradigms and using their results could provide a holistic perspective, which could be useful for health policy makers in planning comprehensive interventions and to achieve the goals of evidence-based practice in phase of menopause.
