Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed oxidative stress in the blood of obese and nonobese pregnant women and their babies, involving 30 obese and 35 nonobese participants aged 18-40.
- Significant findings showed higher levels of oxidative stress markers like disulfide and catalase in obese mothers and their newborns, indicating increased oxidative stress compared to nonobese counterparts.
- The study highlights the importance of weight management before and during pregnancy to reduce oxidative stress and associated health risks for both mothers and infants.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess oxidative stress in small for gestational age (SGA) newborns and their mothers by evaluating intra- and extracellular thiol homeostasis and the quantification of major oxidants and antioxidants.
Methods: A total of 75 mothers and their 75 newborns (43 SGA) were enrolled in this study. Thiol-disulfide homeostasis, serum myeloperoxidase, catalase, total oxidant, and antioxidant status were analyzed.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is considered a cause of conditions such as depression and eating disorders, and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).
Material And Methods: This study was conducted as a prospective study at Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The study included 73 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies (32 pregnant women with HG and 41 pregnant women without hyperemesis).

Background: To estimate a possible association between the effects of daily meteorological variation and climatological changes (temperature, air pressure, humidity, sunniness level) on pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) according to symptoms grade and hospitalization state.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 118 patients diagnosed and hospitalized with HG. HG patients were graded as mild, moderate, or severe according to the Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) scale.
Objectives: Sexual dysfunctions in patients with rheumatological diseases can negatively affect human sexual life, and thus lead to the deterioration of quality of life. This study aimed to determine the effects of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) on female sexual organs and sexual functions.
Methods: A total of 68 women with pSS and 135 healthy female patients were included in the study.
Objectives: Rheumatologic diseases may impair the quality of life (QoL) by affecting sexual functions in different ways. We aimed to evaluate sexual functions and the disease-related variables, physical and psychogenic states in female patients with ankylosing spondylitis and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthropathy.
Methods: A total of 98 women with axial spondyloarthropathy (axSpA) and 99 healthy females were included in the study.
Objective: To evaluate the attitudes of medical students and professionals towards female genital cosmetic procedures (FGCPs) in terms of medical justification, applicability in practical life, ethical concerns, patient autonomy, and the clinical/social/psychological benefits-harms of these procedures.
Materials And Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire providing information about the attitudes of medical students and specialists (n=623) towards FGCPs including G-spot amplification, clitoral hood reduction, vaginoplasty, labia majora augmentation/reduction, labia minora augmentation/reduction, hymenoplasty, laser procedures, vulvar/perianal bleaching, and liposculpture, was completed by a target population and evaluated statistically.
Results: Participants stated that FGCPs could be performed only upon patient request and there could rarely be a medical indication for their performance (p<0.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between complete blood count parameters and adnexal torsion, assessing their usefulness for preoperative diagnosis.
- The research involved analyzing patient records from a Turkish hospital over a ten-year period, involving 296 subjects, with 73 diagnosed cases of adnexal torsion compared to 223 healthy controls.
- Findings indicated that specific blood parameters, particularly lower mean platelet volume, were significantly associated with adnexal torsion and could serve as a helpful diagnostic tool, with a sensitivity of 77.4% and specificity of 74.2%.
Objectives: To investigate the factors which might influence the sonographic fetal weight estimation (SFWE) accuracy.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted among 949 singleton term pregnant women who delivered at a tertiary center, from January 2017 to December 2017. All participants' maternal (i.
Objective: To determine the usefulness of single-layer, ultrasonographic measurement of endometrial fluid collection (EFC) volume to predict endometrial pathology in asymptomatic postmenopausal patients.
Methods: One hundred fifty asymptomatic postmenopausal women were analysed retrospectively from January 2012 to December 2016. After patients with endometrial hyperplasia/neoplasia were included in Group-I, and those with insufficient tissue, endometrial atrophy, or endometritis were included in Group-II; Groups one and two were compared with respect to primary (correlations between endometrial thickness and EFC volume) and secondary (correlations between demographic characteristics and EFC volume) outcomes.
Background: The aim was to compare serum soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels as well as interleukin-6 levels (IL-6) in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and asymptomatic pregnant women.
Methods: Our study population consists of voluntary first trimester-pregnant women who applied to the outpatient clinic of the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital. Between February and May 2016, 60 pregnant women were included in our prospective study.
Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate alterations in intracellular and extracellular antioxidant enzymes activities and serum oxidative stress markers in patients with endometriosis.
Study Design: The current prospective study consisted of 31 female patients with endometriosis and 27 healthy controls. Serum total thiol, native thiol, disulphide, catalase, myeloperoxidase, and ceruloplasmin concentrations were measured.
