Relation of Preoperative Thrombocytosis between Tumor Stage and Grade in Patients with Endometrial Cancer.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative thrombocytosis for postoperative tumor stage and tumor grade in patients with endometrial cancer.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in our gynecologic oncology department between January 2000 and December 2011. We reviewed the medical charts of 190 patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma and underwent complete staging procedure.

Evaluation of subfoveal choroidal thickness in pregnant women using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To evaluate the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) measured by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in pregnant women.

Methods: In this prospective and cross-sectional study, 100 pregnant women and 100 age-matched nonpregnant women were enrolled. The SFCT was measured by EDI-OCT.

Subfoveal choroidal thickness in preeclampsia: comparison with normal pregnant and nonpregnant women.

Purpose: To compare the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in preeclampsia, normal pregnancy, and non-pregnant women using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods: One hundred nineteen volunteers were enrolled in this prospective and comparative study. The participants were divided into three groups: group 1 (33 preeclamptic women), group 2 (46 normal pregnant), and group 3 (40 non-pregnant healthy women).

Can intravenous injection of tranexamic acid be used in routine practice with active management of the third stage of labor in vaginal delivery? A randomized controlled study.

Objective: To estimate the effects of adding intravenous tranexamic acid (TA) to the standard active management of third-stage labor to reduce vaginal blood loss during the third and fourth stages of labor.

Study Design: A prospective, double-blind, equivalence randomized, controlled study was performed. Women were randomly allocated to receive an intravenous infusion of TA (experimental group, n = 228) or 5% glucose (placebo group, n = 226) at delivery of the anterior shoulder.

Effect of body posture on intraocular pressure and ocular perfusion pressure in nonglaucomatous pregnant women.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of different positions on the intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) in nonglaucomatous pregnant.

Material And Methods: Thirty-one women in their third trimester of pregnancy were enrolled in this prospective and observational study. IOP in both eyes was measured with a Tono-pen® in the sitting position (Si-P), in the supine position (Su-P), in the right lateral decubitus position (R-LDP), and left lateral decubitus position (L-LDP).

Osseous metaplasia of the cervix and endometrium: a case of secondary infertility.

Objective: To report a case of osseous metaplasia of the cervix and endometrium as a cause of secondary infertility.

Design: Case report.

Setting: Istanbul Bakirkoy Women and Children Teaching and Research Hospital.

Using intraumbilical vein injection of oxytocin in routine practice with active management of the third stage of labor: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To estimate the efficacy of the routine use of intraumbilical vein injection of oxytocin with active management of the third stage of labor in reducing blood loss and length of the third stage.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, 412 women undergoing vaginal delivery who did not have risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage were randomly allocated to receive either 20 international units oxytocin diluted with 26 mL saline (n=207) or 30 mL saline (n=205) by intraumbilical vein injection. Active management of the third stage of labor (prophylactic injection of 10 international units oxytocin within 2 minutes of birth, early clamping of the umbilical cord, and controlled cord traction) was used in both groups.

Successful treatment of primary vaginal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma using chemotherapy.

Objective: Non-Hodgkins lymphomas (NHL) rarely affect the vagina. As a result, a standard treatment has not been defined.

Case Report: A 34-year-old female virgin patient with a primary vaginal NHL stage IEA, diffuse large cell B lineage, showed an excellent response to cytotoxic chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) without surgery or radiotherapy.

Persistent subumbilical discharge associated with actinomycosis caused by intrauterine contraceptive device: a case report.

Intrauterine devices are a very effective form of contraception used worldwide for more than 2 centuries. One of the serious, but rare, complications of intrauterine contraception is perforation through the uterine wall into the pelvic or abdominal cavity. In this report we describe, persistent periumbilical discharge associated actinomycosis caused by migration of a copper intrauterine contraceptive device.

Complete surgical resection of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in pregnancy: a case report.

Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) is extremely rare in pregnancy, so there has been little experience in dialing with this condition. We report our experience of a pregnant patient with a retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma, which was treated by complete surgical resection at 17 weeks gestation. After regular follow-up, the patient admitted to our hospital in labor, in the 38th gestational week and vaginally delivered a male fetus weighing 3,200 g with Apgar score of 8 and 10 at 1 and 5 min respectively.

Primary primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the uterus: a case report.

Neuroendocrine carcinomas primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) arise from Kulchitsky cells and are frequently seen in gastrointestinal tract and lungs. But they are unusual in gynecology practice. We presented a case of PNET arising in the uterine corpus of a 22-year-old woman.

Postmenopausal tuberculosis endometritis.

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, primarily in developing countries with inadequate health services. A significant portion of tuberculosis in these settings is extrapulmonary, including tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract. Patients with genital tuberculosis are usually young women detected during work up for infertility.

Monochorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy with a co-triplet fetus discordant for congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung.

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous monochorionic triamniotic pregnancy is rare and is at increased risk for pregnancy complications. The presence of an anomalous fetus further complicates the management. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of monochorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy diagnosed at 15 weeks of gestation with one fetus having developed a multicystic lung lesion, suggestive of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM).
