The Visualization of a Foreign Body in a Patient's Subglottic Region Using Point-of-Care Ultrasonography.

Point-of-care ultrasonography is a real-time dynamic examination that is useful for evaluating the location of foreign bodies in a patient's gastrointestinal tract and soft tissue. In particular, it is useful for identifying radiolucent foreign bodies that are difficult to visualize using routine x-ray examinations. This case study describes the visualization of a radiolucent foreign body in a patient's subglottic region using point-of-care ultrasonography.

Subclinical inflammation markers in hyperemesis gravidarum and ketonuria: A case-control study.

Introduction: Subclinical inflammation markers play a significant role in hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG). Simple hematological markers such as mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been shown to reflect inflammatory burden and disease activity in several disorders. Ketonuria is a parameter used in the diagnosis of severe HEG, but its correlation with disease severity remains controversial.

Sleep quality of endometrial cancer survivors and the effect of treatments.

Objective: Sleep disorders affect 54.9% of gynaecologic cancer survivors. The effect of treatment methods on sleep quality is not clear.

Uterine Tumour Resembling Ovarian Sex Cord Tumour- A Rare Entity.

Uterine Tumour Resembling Ovarian Sex-Cord Tumours (UTROSCTs) are an extremely rare type of uterine body tumours arising from the endometrial stroma. Epidemiology, aetiology, pathogenesis, management and natural history of UTROSCTs are still a question of debate, as there is little available data in the literature. Although rare, the possibility of UTROSCTs should be kept in mind, when a patient presents with abnormal bleeding and an enlarged uterus.

Immunohistochemical expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in endometrial polyps and its relationship to clinical parameters.

Objective: To investigate the differences in steroid receptor expression patterns between glandular and stromal portions in endometrial polyps among premenopausal and postmenopausal patients and the relationship between the receptor expression in endometrial polyps and clinical parameters.

Materials And Methods: A total of 25 postmenopausal and 25 premenopausal patients with solitary endometrial polyp detected by office hysteroscopy were involved in the study. All patients underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia.

The effect of anti-thyroid antibodies on endometrial volume, embryo grade and IVF outcome.

Thyroid auto-immunity (TAI) has been implicated as the most common cause of hypothyroidism in general population, especially in women. Many studies revealed that increased infertility incidences with TAI. The aim of the present article was to evaluate the effect of thyroid auto-antibody (TAA) positivity on embryological parameters, IVF-outcome and endometrial volume (EnV) in infertile patients who were applied for routine artificial reproductive technologies (ART) programme.
