Objective: This study aimed to establish normal reference ranges for fetal corpus callosum (CC) measured by prenatal ultrasonography (USG) between 16 and 25 weeks of gestation in healthy fetuses.
Material And Method: A total of 809 fetuses in the second trimester were evaluated by transabdominal USG. All measurements were obtained by a single clinician.

Objective: We compared the fluid volume parameters in women undergoing gynaecological surgery for benign and malignant conditions before and after surgery using bioelectrical impedance vectors.
Study Design: A total of 181 patients were enrolled. In all, 89 patients had surgery for benign conditions and 92 patients underwent oncological procedures, including lymph node dissection, for malignant diseases.
We evaluated the concentrations of human epididymis secretory protein E4 (HE4) and Ca-125 in relation to clinicopathologic features in patients with endometrial cancer and premalignant endometrial lesions. Women with abnormal uterine bleeding (n = 167) who underwent endometrial sampling were divided into four groups. Group 1: endometrial cancer (n = 68), group 2: atypical endometrial hyperplasia (n = 12), group 3: endometrial hyperplasia without atypia (n = 39) and group 4: controls (n = 48).

Methodology: Recto-vaginal swab specimens were obtained from 500 women, and a questionnaire was administered to each to assess their risk factors for GBS carriage. A culture, GBS antigen test, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed on all samples.
Objective: The main aim of this study was to determine the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) levels with hormonal, clinical and metabolic profile in patients with and without Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight normal-weight (body mass index (BMI) of 19-24.99 kg/m) women with PCOS, 36 overweight (BMI of 25-29.
Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate neopterin levels and low Apgar scores in pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) vs. normal control pregnancies.
Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study by enrolling 81 pregnant women with GDM and 38 pregnant women without GDM.
Aim: Intermittent assessment of renal artery flow velocity waveforms during the early stages of pregnancy may help in predicting changes in amniotic fluid dynamics. The current study sought to determine the relation of renal artery and umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms with normal pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by either polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios.
Material And Methods: Renal and umbilical artery Doppler values were evaluated at 22, 28 and 34 weeks' gestation in 300 low-risk pregnant women with singleton pregnancies.
Objective: The aim of our study was to examine the effect of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) treatment on depressive symptoms, changes in bleeding patterns, and quality of life (QoL) among premenopausal women in our clinic.
Materials And Methods: We recruited 120 premenopausal women, aged 18-50 years, who had sought care in the previous year for menorrhagia. LNG-IUS was inserted into eligible patients after the relevant evaluations.
