Evaluation of uterocervical angle in intrauterine device displacement cases.

Purpose: Intrauterine device is one of the most preferred birth control method in the world. Being able to predict that the intrauterine device will not dislocate is very important in terms of preventing unwanted pregnancies. Here, we evaluated the role of uterocervical angle in displacement of intrauterine device and to determine whether it has a discriminative role for displacement.

Effect of passive smoking on birth weight in pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency living in Turkey: A case control study.

Aim: Although vitamin D deficiency in smokers has a greater risk of low birth weight than vitamin D deficiency or smoking alone, there is no study searching birth weight in vitamin D deficient passive smokers. We evaluated the effect of vitamin D deficiency on birth weight in active and passive smokers. Additionally, we aimed to determine the predictive role of vitamin D for low birth weight in smokers.

A total of 30 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and 60 healthy controls between 24 and 27/6 weeks of gestation were included.

Investigating the predictive role of uterocervical angle in predicting preterm labor in singleton pregnancies: a meta-analysis.

Objectives: In this meta-analysis, we aimedto demonstrate the relationship between uterocervical angle and preterm labor in singleton pregnancies more clearly and reliablywith this meta-analysis.

Material And Metods: In this study, we use keywords such as "uterocervical angle," "cervical angle," "angle," "cervix," "cervical," "preterm," and "preterm labour." We searched various databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, ClinicalKey, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

The risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus in maternal subclinical hypothyroidism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between maternal subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk.

Methods: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Following PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar database search up to April 1 2021, a total of 4597 studies were identified.

Short interdelivery interval in modern obstetrics: Maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the maternal, neonatal outcomes of the patients with short interdelivery interval (IDI) considering initial pregnancy outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Women with two consecutive deliveries between 2016 and 2020 were included in the study. The maternal and neonatal outcomes of both pregnancies were reviewed.

Could Birth Weight to Placental Weight Ratio Predict Postpartum Haemorrhage and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Admission?

Objective: To evaluate the usability of the ratio of birth weight to placental weight [fetoplacental ratio (FPR)] in predicting postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.

Study Design: Prospective observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training & Research Hospital, Bursa, Turkey, between July 2020 and July 2021.

Does presence of subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid auto antibodies affect pregnancy outcomes in pregnancy? A record-based cross-sectional study.

Objective: Our aim in this study is to determine the relationship between TPOAb positivity and pregnancy outcomes in the subclinical hypothyroid patient group.

Materials And Methods: This study was started with 21,321 pregnant women, but after the exclusion criteria, 11,387 pregnant women were included int his study. Demographic characteristics of each patient group included in the study, such as age, bodymass index (BMI), and laboratory parameters such as complete blood count (hemogram), liver and kidney function tests, type of delivery, birth weight, neonatal intensive care admission, 1st and 5th minute APGAR scores, glucose tolerance test results, whether there was high blood pressure during pregnancy, whether there was premature rupture of membranes were recorded from the hospital information system and patient files.

Are women diagnosed with early pregnancy loss at risk for anxiety, depression, and perinatal grief?

Objectives: To examine the effects of early pregnancy loss on emotions such as depression, grief, or a sense of hopelessness, while investigating different types of diagnoses, hospital stays, and treatments.

Methods: A prospective cohort epidemiological study was carried out in Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Bursa, Turkey, between January and September 2019. The study included women diagnosed with early pregnancy loss classified into 3 groups: missed abortus, anembryonic pregnancy, and spontaneous abortion.

Adjuvant Hypnotherapy for Hyperemesis Gravidarum: A Randomized Pilot Study.

Hyperemesis gravidarum, which requires hospitalization in approximately 1% to 5% of patients, is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. This study investigated the effects of hypnosis on nausea, vomiting, use of antiemetic medications, and hospital stay among patients diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. Patients were randomized to receive either conventional therapy alone (control condition, = 23) or adjuvant hypnotherapy plus conventional therapy (treatment group, = 18).

Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Device Use Can Be a Treatment Option in Symptomatic Patients with Isthmocele.

Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices have been used for contraception and treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding. There is only limited data about the effect of this on isthmocele. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices in a larger study population with a longer follow-up as compared to the literature on symptomatic patients with isthmocele.

Evaluation of the predictive role of anterior uterocervical angle in preterm labor in twin gestation through meta-analysis: anterior uterocervical angle and preterm labor in twin gestation.

Multiple gestations are high-risk pregnancies with increased obstetric and perinatal risks. Preterm labor occurs in about half of twin pregnancies. Thus, prediction of the time of delivery and prevention of premature birth are very important in multiple gestations.

Association between platelet to lymphocyte ratio, plateletcrit and the presence and severity of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Aim: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) can be defined as intractable nausea and vomiting leading to electrolyte imbalance, ketonuria, nutrition deficiency and weight loss. Inflammation is known to play a crucial role in HG and many inflammatory markers have been studied to achieve early diagnosis. We investigated the association of the platelet to lymphocyte ratio and plateletcrit with the presence and severity of HG.
