Increased maternal C1q/TNF-related protein-1 (CTRP-1) serum levels in pregnancies with preeclampsia.

Metabolic changes and inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein-1 (CTRP-1) is a pleiotropic molecule that possesses insulin-sensitizing effects and is also involved in lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses. The aim of the study was to investigate CTRP-1 levels in pregnancies with preeclampsia.

The impact of subcutaneous irrigation on wound complications after cesarean sections: A prospective randomised study.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of subcutaneous saline irrigation in preventing wound complications after cesarean sections.

Study Design: Patients undergoing primary cesarean sections were randomly assigned to either the subcutaneous saline irrigation group or the control group. The participants were asked to come to the hospital for routine inspection of the skin incision on day 7 and day 30 postoperatively.

Serum procalcitonin levels in incisional surgical site infections requiring a secondary suture after cesarean sections.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) after cesarean section cause maternal morbidity and economic and emotional burdens on society. Our aim is to measure procalcitonin (PCT) levels in patients who developed incisional SSIs after cesarean section while also comparing PCT concentrations between patients who underwent a secondary suture and who did not require a secondary suture. Ninety-four patients who developed incisional SSI after cesarean section were enrolled in our study.

Comparing success rates of the Hayman compression suture and the Bakri balloon tamponade.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality around the world. Medical treatments and uterus-sparing interventions including balloon tamponades and compression sutures are the first line options before the decision is made to perform a hysterectomy. Our aim is to compare the success rates of the Hayman compression suture and the Bakri balloon tamponade (BBT) in patients with PPH.

Why do multiparous women with a history of vaginal delivery give birth by cesarean section?

Objective: A cesarean section (C-section) is performed to deliver a baby through the mother's abdomen. In recent years, the rate of incidences requiring a C-section is steadily increasing all over the world. Advanced maternal age, chronic health problems, multiple pregnancies as a result of the development of assisted reproductive technologies, and an insufficient supplementary health network can be considered as the reasons why mothers and obstetricians prefer a C-section.
