Role of derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, uric acid-to-creatinine ratio and Delta neutrophil index for predicting neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with preeclampsia.

We aimed to compare the maternal and neonatal systemic inflammatory markers, platelet indices and new indices in biochemical parameters in women with preeclampsia and healthy controls. The secondary aim was to investigate whether there was a relationship between maternal hematological markers and neonatal outcomes. A retrospective case control study was conducted in a tertiary hospital.

Fetal pulmonary artery Doppler parameters in pregnancies complicated with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: a prospective case-control study.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to determine whether pulmonary artery acceleration time (AT) to ejection time (ET) ratio (PATET) was altered in fetuses of mothers with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP). The secondary aim was to investigate the association between fetal pulmonary artery Doppler parameters with neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by IHCP.

Material And Methods: This prospective case control study was conducted in a tertiary perinatal-neonatal center.

Comparison of maternal serum NRG-4 levels in healthy and preeclamptic pregnancies.

Objective: The new adipokine, neuregulin-4 (NRG-4), acts as a signaling protein and plays a role in lipogenesis, inflammatory events and atherosclerosis. The aim was to investigate maternal levels of NRG-4 in preeclampsia (PE) disease.

Material And Methods: Pregnant women with PE, divided into severe and mild PE, and gestational age-matched healthy pregnant women, as a control group, were recruited.

Neurosonographic assessments of corpus callosum related structures in growth-restricted fetuses.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether corpus callosum length (CCL), corpus callosum-fastigium length (CCFL) and the angle between CCL-CCFL (CCFA) were altered in growth-restricted fetuses.

Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted in a tertiary center. A total of 80 singleton fetuses were included in the study, classified as 36 late-onset growth-restricted fetuses and 44 adequate-for-gestational-age fetuses.

Can first trimester pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A predict the surfactant needs of preterm neonates?

Background: Low values of pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A), have been shown to be associated with some poor gestational outcomes, especially those related to placental deficiency such as pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction as well as preterm labor. The aim of this study was to compare first trimester PAPP-A MoM values with the surfactant needs of newborns of pregnant women who had a preterm delivery.

Methods: This study included 216 pregnant women who had a preterm delivery, who were found to be in the low-risk group based on their aneuploidy screening.
