Healthcare access and cervical cancer awareness among Syrian refugee women in Türkiye: language, cultural, and economic challenges.

Background: The influx of Syrian refugees since 2012 has introduced demographic changes in Türkiye that face significant barriers to healthcare, particularly for women's health and cervical cancer awareness. Studies indicate alarmingly low awareness, with only 4% of Syrian women aware of the smear test.

Objective: This study examines cervical cancer awareness among Syrian refugee women in Türkiye and assesses the impact of sociocultural factors-education level, healthcare access, and language proficiency-on healthcare utilization.

A New Marker for the Diagnosis of Acute Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: Immature Granulocyte.

Background: The goal is to assess the role of immature granulocytes (IG) in the diagnosis of acute pelvic-inflammatory-disease (PID) and to determine whether they are useful for discriminating mild/moderate and severe PID.

Methods: Patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute PID were retrospectively assessed. Diagnosis was based on CDC criteria.

Predictors of the recurrence of surgically removed previous caesarean skin scars at caesarean section: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Caesarean skin scars (CSS; hypertrophic scars and keloids) are very stressful for women and treatment strategies vary. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the outcome of surgical excision of CSS during caesarean section (CS). The study aims to determine the rate of recurrence and risk factors of recurrence for surgically removed CSS.

Is suction curettage an effective treatment alternative for cesarean scar pregnancies?

Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the success rate of suction curettage (SC) as a first line treatment with or without use of foley balloon tamponade for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and to determine the risk factors for failure of treatment.

Study Design: The study was retrospective and included 36 CSP cases who underwent SC for treatment. Presence of pain with active bleeding and > 10 weeks of gestation were taken as the exclusion criterion.

Interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein levels in the amniotic fluid as indicators of preterm delivery in Turkish women.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the value of amniotic fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in the prediction of preterm delivery in singleton pregnancies without any known risk factors for preterm delivery in Turkish women.

Materials And Methods: Patients in the present perinatology department who underwent mid-trimester genetic amniocentesis due to evidence of increased risk of aneuploidy in their prenatal serum screening tests were included in the study. A sample of amniotic fluid from each patient was assessed for IL-6 and CRP.
