Analysis of preoperative and postoperative quality of life, sexual function, and sleep in patients with endometriosis: a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: Endometriosis affects the quality of life, sleep, and sexual life of patients due to pain. This study compared the scores of endometriosis patients in these three areas before and after surgery.

Methods: Patients between the ages of 18 and 60 with a prediagnosis of endometriosis were enrolled.

Hydrosonographic Assessment of the Effect of Two Different Suture Materials on Healing of the Uterine Scar after Cesarean Delivery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of two different suture materials, monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures versus multifilament synthetic absorbable sutures, on healing the uterine scar after a cesarean delivery.

Methods: A total of 95 women between the ages of 18 and 40 who had undergone a primary cesarean section (CS) after the 38 week of gestation. In Group I (n=48), continuous double-layer unlocked closure of the low transverse uterine incision was performed using monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures.

Less Blood Loss by Earlier Oxytocin Infusion in Cesarean Sections? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the positive effect of starting an IV oxytocin infusion early before uterine incision on intraoperative blood loss.

Methods: A total of 101 women between 18-40 years who underwent a primary elective cesarean section (CS) were included in this randomized controlled trial. The patients were divided into two groups.

Arterial stiffness in obstructive sleep apnoea: Is there a difference between daytime and night-time?

Background And Objective: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common chronic systemic disease in the general population, with known associated cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to investigate arterial stiffness in OSAS patients and compare daytime and night-time values with control subjects.

Methods: A total of 104 patients undergoing investigation for OSAS with polysomnography also underwent pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) measurements with Mobil-O-Graph for 24 h.

Effects of nondipping pattern on systemic inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a highly prevalent chronic systemic disease in the general population with high morbidity and mortality. Nondipping pattern-failure to drop blood pressure levels in nighttime-is also seen in OSAS patients. We aim to investigate dipping and nondipping patterns of OSAS patients and to compare inflammatory markers.
