Are all antral follicles the same? Size of antral follicles as a key predictor for response to controlled ovarian stimulation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether antral follicle size has any value with respect to antral follicle count (AFC) in predicting ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation. Patients who were considered to be normal responders based on their ovarian reserve markers were consecutively recruited. Total AFC was the number of 2-10 mm follicles in both ovaries.

Setting: Minimally Invasive Gynecology Unit, Bursa Uludag University Hospital, Turkey.

Social media awareness among non-urogynecologists regarding the current mesh discussions in urogynecology: a survey study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: There has been a great deal of discussion about mesh complications in urogynecology in recent years. However, awareness of other doctors who are not urogynecologists is unknown. This study was aimed at determining the level of awareness of mesh discussions among medical doctors whose specialty is not urology or gynecology.

Does antenatal magnesium sulphate improve hearing function in premature newborns?

Objective: To evaluate whether antenatal magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) exposure has a neuroprotective effect against hearing impairment in premature newborns.

Material And Methods: Retrospective cohort study was performed with prematurely (<37 weeks) delivered newborns at a tertiary university hospital. Newborns of 92 women who received MgSO4 infusions (study group) for various indications were compared to newborns of 147 women who did not receive MgSO4 infusions (control group).

Laparoscopic hysterectomy trends in challenging cases (1995-2018).

Objective: To investigate the effect of challenging factors on laparoscopic hysterectomy trends within twenty-four years.

Population And Method: This was a trend analysis study of 7558 women who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications between 1995-2018 in Bursa Uludag University Hospital, Turkey. A trend analysis of obesity, previous laparotomy (≥3) and uterine specimen weight (≥500g) was applied for abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), and laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) rates in this period.

Laparoscopic sacral colpopexy with polyester fiber suture: Ozerkan modification.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Mesh-related problems are significant complications of laparoscopic sacral colpopexy. The conventional technique precludes performing laparoscopic sacral colpopexy without using a mesh. We describe the Ozerkan modification for laparoscopic sacral colpopexy using a polyester fiber suture instead of a standard mesh and report 1-year objective and subjective outcomes.

Different treatment modalities and outcomes in cesarean scar pregnancy: a retrospective analysis of 31 cases in a unıversity hospital.

Objectives: There is no standardized treatment modality or a generally accepted guideline in cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treatment. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of the different treatment modalities used in CSP treatment.

Material And Methods: 31 CSP patients retrospectively evaluated between May 2011 and February at Uludag University Hospital in Bursa, Turkey included in the study.

The Comparison of Outcomes between the "Skeleton Uterus Technique" and Conventional Techniques in Laparoscopic Hysterectomies.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare demographic characteristics, operative data, and complication rates of women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy by the skeleton uterus technique (Skeleton-TLH) with those of women who underwent TLH by the standard technique (Standard-TLH) in a university teaching and research hospital.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 932 laparoscopic hysterectomies in a university teaching and research hospital between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017. Clinical characteristics, operative outcomes, and complications were recorded and compared for the two techniques.

Long-term follow-up of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: comparison of two different techniques used in urology and gynecology.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Numerous studies have found that the short-term results of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse are safe and effective. This study evaluates the long-term results of the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy operation between the urology and gynecology branches.

Methods: A prospective study enrolling 206 patients was conducted to evaluate laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy as a surgical treatment for vaginal vault prolapse from 2011 to 2014.

Endometrioma-related reduction in ovarian reserve (ERROR): a prospective longitudinal study.

Objective: To evaluate whether endometrioma is associated with a progressive decline in ovarian reserve, and to compare the rate of decline with natural decline in ovarian reserve.

Design: Prospective, observational study.

Setting: Tertiary university hospital, endometriosis clinic.

Laparoscopic Evacuation of an Early Pregnancy.

Study Objective: Minimally invasive surgical procedures have shown significant improvement over the last 20 years. Today, nearly half of the surgeries, including oncology, are performed with minimally invasive methods. In obstetrics and gynecology surgery practice, laparoscopy can now be used in almost all operations.

Anatomic and Functional Outcomes of Paramesonephric Remnant-Supported Laparoscopic Double-Layer Peritoneal Pull-Down Vaginoplasty Technique in Patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome: Uncu Modification.

Objective: To describe modifications to the double-layer peritoneal pull-down laparoscopic vaginoplasty technique (Davydov operation) and evaluate anatomic and functional outcomes of the new technique, known as the Uncu modification.

Design: Case series (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting: Tertiary care university hospital.

A DFT-based QSAR study on inhibition of human dihydrofolate reductase.

Diaminopyrimidine derivatives are frequently used as inhibitors of human dihydrofolate reductase, for example in treatment of patients whose immune system are affected by human immunodeficiency virus. Forty-seven dicyclic and tricyclic potential inhibitors of human dihydrofolate reductase were analyzed using the quantitative structure-activity analysis supported by DFT-based and DRAGON-based descriptors. The developed model yielded an RMSE deviation of 1.

Cutaneous Fistulization of an Ovarian Mature Cystic Teratoma: An Unusual Occurrence.

A bilobulated mature cystic teratoma (MCT) at the left ovary measuring 6 cm in diameter fistulized to the left lower quadrant of the anterior abdominal wall, contralateral to McBurney's point. This is the first reported case of a MCT fistulized to the skin. Symptoms, if present, usually depend on the size of the teratoma.
