The impact of glycosylated hemoglobin and 75-g oral glucose tolerance test glucose levels on birthweight percentile.

Objective: Our research objective was to validate and contribute further evidence to the studies regarding large for gestational age and birthweight percentile by examining oral glucose tolerance test and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in both healthy women and those with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital involving 106 women who delivered at gestational week 36 or later between February 2022 and February 2023. Maternal, obstetric, and neonatal data were collected from the participant's medical records.

Effects of endometrial versus non-endometrial suturing on isthmocele development; a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Incomplete healing after cesarean section (CS) can result in isthmocele formation. When suturing the uterus, fully folding the wound lips may embed the endometrial layer into the myometrium, leading to isthmocele development. Hence, this study aimed to compare the effects of endometrial and non-endometrial suturing on isthmocele development.

Comparison of Afamin Values in Umbilical Cord Blood After Delivery in Pregnancies With and Without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Objective: Afamin is a protein that increases in gestational diabetes but its concentration in neonates hasn't been investigated. Our objective is to compare cord blood afamin levels in neonates born to mothers with and without diabetes, and to explore its relationship with maternal and neonatal variables.

Methods: In this case control study, umbilical cord blood was collected for afamin measurement in pregestational/gestational diabetic pregnancies ( = 40) and healthy pregnancies ( = 45) after delivery.
