Glandular Crowdings in Endometrial Polyps: Clinical Follow-Up and Possible Worrisome Features.

Introduction: Interpretation of changes and premalignant lesions in endometrial polyps can be challenging. We evaluated the clinical course of patients with focal gland crowdings in endometrial polyps via repeat biopsies and searched for possible morphological findings in the initial biopsy that may foresee a premalignant course.

Methods: Specimens diagnosed as endometrial polyp and focal gland crowding in patients who had a repeat biopsy in a 1-year period were reexamined.

Ovarian Histology of Removed Ovaries After Gender-Affirming Testosterone Therapy.

. Assigned female at birth transgender people go through a gender-affirming hormone therapy using testosterone. We aimed to define the histological changes in the removed ovaries of these patients and investigate the correlation of these changes to factors like chronological age and duration of hormone therapy.

The diagnostic performance of antimullerian hormone for polycystic ovarian syndrome and polycystic ovarian morphology.

Purpose: The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains a challenge to clinicians due to heterogeneous clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria. This study investigated the utilization of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) alone or replacing polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) in the PCOS diagnostic criteria.

Methods: A total of 401 women were categorised as PCOS (n:154), nonPCOS with polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) (n:105), and nonPCOS with normal ovarian morphology (NOM) (n:142).

The relationship of endometrial pathologies with endometrial thickness and inflammatory markers in breast cancers using tamoxifen.

Purpose: Some proliferative and neoplastic changes can be seen in the endometrium of breast cancers using tamoxifen adjuvant therapy (TMX-BC). Identifying risk groups is crucial, but methods and frequency of endometrial follow-up are still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the clinical, ultrasonographic, and inflammatory factors to differentiate pathological endometrium in TMX-BC.

The comparison of inflammatory markers in geriatric and nongeriatric endometrial cancers.

Background: The inflammatory markers are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in endometrial cancers (EC), but hematopoietic aging may affect the results.

Objective: To compare inflammatory markers in geriatric and nongeriatric EC.

Methods: This study included 342 women with endometrial cancers (n: 171) and age-matched controls (n: 171).

Comparison of nonspecific inflammatory markers in endometrial cancer and hyperplasia.

Objective: This study aims to analyze inflammatory markers among patients with endometrial cancer, hyperplasia with atypia/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia, hyperplasia without atypia, and normal controls, thus observing the stage at which inflammation becomes the most significant.

Methods: A total of 444 patients who had endometrial sampling were included in the study (endometrial cancer, n=79; endometrial hyperplasia with atypia/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia, n=27; endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, n=238; and normal controls, n=100). Neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, platelet distribution width, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, CA-125, and endometrial thickness of the patients were recorded.

The role of transperineal ultrasound in the evaluation of stress urinary incontinence cases.

Purpose: To evaluate the use of transperineal ultrasonography while diagnosing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by comparing the urethral angle (α), posterior urethrovesical angle (β), and bladder neck descent (BND) during rest and Valsalva maneuver in continent women and women with SUI.

Materials And Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted with 50 women with SUI and 50 continent women. Transperineal ultrasonography was performed at rest and during Valsalva maneuver.

TORCH seroprevalence among patients attending Obstetric Care Clinic of Haydarpasa Training and Research Hospital affiliated to Association of Istanbul Northern Anatolia Public Hospitals.

Objective: Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes simplex viruses are microorganisms that cause congenital infections and they are called briefly as TORCH. There is an ongoing argument for the screening of reproductive age women due to the high cost of tests. For a test to be used in screening, prevalence of disease in this population should be known.

Large Nabothian Cyst Obstructing Labour Passage.

Nabothian cysts are common and silent retention cysts of the uterine cervix with no particular intervention required. It is quite rare to reach a size of more than 4 cm and it is a diagnostic dilemma to differ it from adenoma malignum. We report a case of a woman with 38 weeks of gestation presented to the maternity unit with labour pain and protruding cystic mass (60x70 mm) out of the vagina.
