Enhancing visible light photocatalytic activity of holmium doped g-CN and DFT theoretical insights.

In the search of novel photocatalysts to increase the effect of visible light in photocatalysis, g-CN (CN) has become a shining star. Rare earth metals have been used as dopant material to reinforce the photocatalytic activity of CN due to their unique electron configuration recently. In this present study, the pure and different amounts of Ho-doped g-CN (HoCN) photocatalysts were successfully synthesized using urea as a precursor by the one-pot method.

Betatrophin, elabela, asprosin, glucagon and subfatin peptides in breast tissue, blood and milk in gestational diabetes.

We investigated the presence of asprosin (ASP), betatrophin, elabela (ELA), glucagon and subfatin (SUB) in the milk of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and compared their levels with blood levels. We also investigated whether these peptides are synthesized by the breast. We investigated 12 volunteer mothers with GDM and 14 pregnant non-GDM control mothers.

Exposure of Pregnant Women to Intimate Partner Violence during the Pandemic in Turkey and Influencing Factors.

Purpose: This research was conducted to determine the exposure of pregnant women to intimate partner violence (IPV) during the Covid-19 pandemic and its influencing factors.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: This study included 456 pregnant women.

The effects of gestational diabetes on lower urinary tract symptoms of pregnant women: a case-control study.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common health problems in pregnant women. The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate the effects of GDM on LUTS in pregnant women. This study was conducted with 44 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM and 44 pregnant without GDM.

The impact of indomethacin on the number of oocytes retrieved and IVF outcomes in patients with poor ovarian response.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective case-control study was to analyze the effect of administering indomethacin after triggering final oocyte maturation in patients with poor ovarian response (POR) on the cycle cancellation rate due to premature ovulation (PO), the number of oocytes retrieved and the clinical outcomes of IVF cycles.

Study Design: A total of 214 patients with POR, diagnosed according to the Bologna criteria, who underwent fresh IVF cycle via flexible gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol were enrolled in the study. The control group consisted of 100 patients, whereas the indomethacin group included 114 patients who received 100 mg rectal indomethacin administered twice within the same day (twelve hours apart) -starting at twelve hours after triggering.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Discriminating Precancerous Pathologies from Cervical Cancer.

Purpose: We aimed to determine the predictive value of several hematological markers of inflammation on the presence/absence of cervical cancer and also to determine their ability in discriminating precancerous cervical pathologies from cervical cancer.

Materials And Methods: In this study, patients who presented to Acıbadem Kayseri Hospital between May 2010 and June 2018 were evaluated. Forty patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), 40 patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), and 30 patients with cervical cancer (CC) were retrospectively included in this study.

Evaluation of protective effects of GnRH agonist or antagonist on ovarian reserve with anti-Müllerian hormone and histological analysis in a rat model using cisplatin.

Introduction: The aim of this prospective trial was to evaluate the ovarian reserve with anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which is the best predictor of ovarian reserve, and perform histological analysis after exposure to cisplatin with a GnRH agonist or antagonist.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three groups, each consisting of eight rats. In the GnRH agonist group (group 1), rats received a single dose of 50 mg/m cisplatin with 1 mg/kg triptorelin.

Severity of pain and circadian changes in uterine artery blood flow in primary dysmenorrhea.

Objective: To investigate the severity of pain and circadian changes in uterine artery blood flow in primary dysmenorrhea cases.

Materials And Methods: The study included 27 cases diagnosed as primary dysmenorrhea and 25 individuals who had no dysmenorrhea complaint. Bilateral uterine artery systole/diastole rates (S/D), pulsatility indices (PI) and resistance indices (RI) of all cases were measured using transvaginal colour Doppler at 12.

The effect of hysterectomy and bilaterally salpingo-oophorectomy on sexual function in post-menopausal women.

Objective: To examine the effects of hysterectomy and bilaterally salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) on Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in the post-menopausal women.

Method: This study included 92 women who underwent vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and BSO (n:37) and who underwent abdominal hysterectomy (AH) and BSO (n:55). Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) was given 21 women who underwent VH and BSO and 28 women who underwent AH and BSO in pre- and postoperative periods.

Uterine primitive neuroectodermal tumor: a case report.

Background: Primitive neuroectodermal tumors of uterus (PNET) are extremely rare in tumors of the female genital system and therefore there is no sufficient information about their diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.

Case: The case is a 32-year-old, operated in emergency conditions due to intra-abdominal hemorrhage, and discusses our diagnosis and treatment approaches in the light of literature data.

Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is first report of uterine PNET that presented with intraabdominal hemorrhage due to uterine rupture.
