: In this study, the aim was to investigate blood-based clinical biomarkers of inflammation and nutrition indices in hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). : This retrospective case-control study was conducted at a tertiary hospital between 2018 and 2022. A total of 820 pregnant women were enrolled in this study; 410 pregnant women were diagnosed with HG (HG group) at 6-14 weeks of gestation, and 410 pregnant women were healthy controls (control group) in the same gestational weeks.

- The study aimed to evaluate the visibility of the fetal optic chiasm and optic tracts through ultrasound and establish reference values for mid-trimester fetuses.
- It included 154 normal fetuses at 19-23 weeks of gestation, measuring various dimensions using a specific ultrasound technique, successfully visualizing OC and OTs in 70.8% of cases.
- Results showed that the dimensions of OC and OTs were positively correlated with measurements of the cavum septum pellucidum, as well as other growth indicators like biparietal diameter and head circumference.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how having a companion during vaginal birth influences postpartum depression and birth satisfaction among 220 women between the ages of 18-45 at Ankara Etlik City Hospital.* -
- Results showed that women with spousal support reported higher satisfaction in terms of care quality and stress management compared to those without any support, while non-spousal support also had positive effects.* -
- Overall, the presence of a companion, whether a spouse or not, was linked to improved birth satisfaction; however, postpartum depression levels were similar across different support groups.*
To determine the role of sortilin in the pathogenesis of fetal growth restriction (FGR) by examining serum sortilin levels in fetal cord blood. This prospective case-control study was conducted at Ankara Etlik City Hospital between July 2023 and January 2024. Group 1 included 44 pregnant women with late FGR; Group 2 included 44 healthy pregnant women as controls.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 684 pregnant women (456 with normal fetal development and 228 with LO-FGR) who delivered at Health Sciences University Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Women's Health Training and Research Hospital between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2018. Composite adverse neonatal outcomes were defined as at least one of the following: 5th minute APGAR score < 7, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.
