Prophylactic complex physiotherapy in gynecologic cancer survivors: patient-reported outcomes based on a lymphedema questionnaire.

Objective: Lower extremity lymphedema secondary to cancer treatment impacts quality of life for gynecological cancer survivors. Complex decongestive physiotherapy is applied when lymphedema is diagnosed, but prophylactic physiotherapy is not yet a standard of care. The aim of this study is to evaluate prophylactic complex physiotherapy in patients with gynecological cancer and its effects on patient-reported symptoms based on the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire.

Recurrence of premature rupture of membranes among pregnancies admitted to a Tertiary Hospital: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: The recurrence of PPROM (Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes) has multifactorial etiology. The aim of this study is to discuss outcome measures of subsequent PPROMs after pregnancy with PPROM before 37 weeks 'gestation.

Method: One hundred fifty-one patients were identified with PPROM between 20 - 36  weeks of gestation between 2012 and 2017 in Trakya University Hospital.

Quadruplet Pregnancy with Complete Mole and Three Viable Fetuses.

The coexistence of a hydatidiform mole and a fetus can occur in a multiple pregnancy, being less frequent in triplets and quadruplets because of their infrequency. With assisted reproduction, multiple pregnancies are becoming more frequent, and we can expect more frequent coexistence with a molar pregnancy. This G3, P1 30-year-old mother, after assisted conception, was diagnosed with a quadruplet pregnancy, one of which was a molar conceptus.

Relationship between second-trimester amniotic fluid and plasma levels of angiopoietin-2 and thrombomodulin with adverse pregnancy outcome.

Our objective is to investigate maternal midtrimester plasma and amniotic fluid (AF) levels of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and thrombomodulin (TM), which are involved in vascular remodelling and endothelium activation, in placental disorders including foetal growth restriction (FGR) and preeclampsia (PE). This prospective multiparametric pilot study was conducted at the Perinatology Division of Trakya University in a population undergoing genetic amniocentesis. Both AF and plasma aliquots were kept in -80 °C until ELISA assay.

Prenatal diagnosis of 20p13 microdeletion syndrome.

Objective: The objective of this study was to report the first case of prenatal diagnosis of the fetal 20p13 microdeletion syndrome in the literature.

Case Report: The mother was 31 years old and had a first trimester serum screening that indicated the fetus was at low risk. The prenatal ultrasound at 23 weeks of gestation showed mild ventriculomegaly (10.

Comparison of postpartum sonographic findings after uneventful vaginal and cesarean section deliveries.

: To prospectively determine the sonographic findings of the postpartum uterus 24 hours after vaginal delivery and cesarean section. : Women who had uneventful vaginal delivery or cesarean section from July 2015 to May 2018 in a tertiary care hospital were prospectively included. Uterine lengths, endometrium, amout of free fluid, the distance between the uterine fundus-promontorium and uterine fundus-L5 were evaluated 24 hours after delivery.

Emergency cerclage in twins during mid gestation may have favorable outcomes: Results of a retrospective cohort.

Purpose: Cervical cerclage treatment for cervical changes at mid trimester is a very controversial topic in twins. The aim of the study was to present our maternal and fetal outcomes of mid-trimester cervical cerclage in twin pregnancies.

Basic Procedures: This study was performed using data extracted from the medical files of the twin pregnancies whom performed emergency cervical cerclage between January 2012 and March 2018 at Trakya University, Facuty of Medicine, Department of Perinatology.
