Do First-Trimester Subchorionic Hematomas Affect Pregnancy Outcomes?

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between first trimester subchorionic hematomas and pregnancy outcomes in women with singleton pregnancies.

Material And Methods: Between January 2018 and January 2019, patients who had a single pregnancy between the 6th and 14th weeks of their pregnancy and were hospitalized with the diagnosis of abortus imminens in the early pregnancy service were included in the study. According to the ultrasonographic examination, those with subchorionic hematoma and those with no hematoma were compared in terms of demographic data, pregnancy outcomes and pregnancy complications.

Evaluation of psychological resilience and anxiety levels of patients with hyperemesis gravidarum diagnosis and comparison with healthy pregnant women.

Objective: To compare the psychological resilience and anxiety levels of patients diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and healthy pregnant women.

Materials And Methods: A sociodemographic data form and the Resilience scale for Adults (RSA) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were administered. The sociodemographic data form was completed by the physician, and the RSA and STAI were completed by the participant.

Evaluation of Fetal Serum Thiol/Disulfide Homeostasis and Ischemia-Modified Albumin Levels in Fetal Distress.

We investigated the association of fetal serum thiol/disulfide homeostasis and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels with fetal distress (FD). Umbilical cord blood for native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, albumin, and IMA analysis was obtained from 44 pregnant women over 34 weeks gestation undergoing cesarean section due to non-acute FD, and from 61 healthy pregnant women who underwent elective cesarean section Native thiol and total thiol levels were significantly lower in the FD group ( = 0.02 and  = 0.

Prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for identifying high- and low-risk endometrial cancer patients.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of adding PET/CT as a preoperative test for determining the extent of endometrial cancer and discriminating low- and high-risk patients to identify candidates for surgical staging.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 86 patients with pathologically proven endometrial cancer who had undergone preoperative ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. The prognostic relationships between PET/CT parameters and pathology reports were assessed.

Tertiary Cytoreduction for Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: a Multicenter Study in Turkey.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the benefit of tertiary cytoreductive surgery (TC) for secondary recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), focusing on whether optimal cytoreduction has an impact on disease-free survival, and whether certain patient characteristics could identify ideal candidates for TC.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of secondary recurrent EOC patients undergoing TC at three Turkish tertiary institutions from May 1997 to July 2014 was performed. All patients had previously received primary cytoreduction followed by intravenous platinum-based chemotherapy and secondary cytoreduction for first recurrence.

Efficacy of a real time optoelectronic device (TruScreen™) in detecting cervical intraepithelial pathologies: a prospective observational study.

Objective: To assess the effect of TruScreen™ (an objective optoelectronic cervical screening device) in improving the sensitivity of cervical screening programs either alone or in combination with Papanicolaou (PAP) smear or human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA screening.

Material And Methods: Our study was performed in 285 patients with abnormal Pap test results. TruScreen™ and HPV screening methods were performed in all participants.
