The role of shear wave elastography in predicting endometrial cancer in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Objective: Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is an objective quantitative ultrasound elastography technique that can demonstrate the stiffness of anatomical structures to aid in their detection and characterization. We aimed to evaluate the role of shear wave elastography in differentiating endometrial carcinoma from benign uterine pathologies in women with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study was conducted at our institution from January 2020 to April 2020.

Classification of high-grade endometrium carcinomas using molecular and immunohistochemical methods.

Objectives: As a result of the integration of molecular changes into the histological classification of cancers, which increases diagnostic repeatability, the differences between the groups become more prominent and targeted therapies gain significance. The most comprehensive molecular study regarding endometrial carcinomas (EC) is The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. According to TCGA, endometrial carcinomas are classified into four molecular prognostic subgroups: copy-number-low/p53-wild-type (p53wt), DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE)-mutated/ultramutated (POLEmt), microsatellite-instability/hypermutated (MSI), and copy-number-high/p53-mutated (p53mt).

Can ultrasound predict the delivery time of patients with previous cesarean section in the 37th gestational week? A prospective cross-sectional study.

Background: The aim was to investigate factors that predict when patients with previous cesarean section will undergo cesarean section (CS) using ultrasonography in the 37th gestational week.

Material And Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, a total of 166 patients with previous CS who presented to the hospital for routine checks at the 37th gestational week were included in the study. Uterine-related, fetus-related, and patient-related factors that affect labor time were analyzed by the same physician at admission, and the patients were then divided into two groups as those having CS at early term (37 to 38 of gestation) and full-term (39 to 40 of gestation).

Serum sclerostin level and its relation to subclinical atherosclerosis in the polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes: A prospective controlled study.

Objective: We aim to study the relationship between atherosclerosis and serum sclerostin levels in different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Materials And Methods: A total of 134 women with PCOS and 33 age-matched controls participated in this study. Women with PCOS were further divided into subgroups based on their PCOS phenotypes: phenotype A (n=35), phenotype B (n=33), phenotype C (n=31), and phenotype D (n=35).

YouTube as a source of information on gonadotropin self-injections.

Objective: To investigate the comprehensiveness, quality, and reliability of YouTube videos that target teaching patients gonadotropin self-injections.

Study Design: Videos demonstrating gonadotropin self-injections were searched using the keywords "Gonal-f injection," "Puregon injection," "Menapur injection," "Merional injection," "Fostimon injection," and "Menagon injection," on December 20th, 2020. The videos were divided into two categories as including "useful information" and "misleading information" by two physicians.

The struggle against endometrial cancer: ten years of experience of a tertiary center.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological factors of our patients who were diagnosed with endometrial cancer in terms of prognosis. With this study, we present our 10 years of surgical experience in endometrial carcinoma cases.

Material And Methods: Four hundred twelve patients with endometrial carcinoma who applied to our center between 2010-2019 and that we followed up were evaluated retrospectively.

Effect of Closure of Anterior Abdominal Wall Layers on Early Postoperative Findings at Cesarean Section: A Prospective Cross-sectional Study.

Objective:  To investigate the effect of closure types of the anterior abdominal wall layers in cesarean section (CS) surgery on early postoperative findings.

Methods:  The present study was designed as a prospective cross-sectional study and was conducted at a university hospital between October 2018 and February 2019. A total of 180 patients who underwent CS for various reasons were enrolled in the study.

The influence of vaginal progesterone on Uterine Artery Pulsatility Index.

Objectives: Uterine artery Doppler is frequently used in the first trimester and it is one of the more effective measurement methods in the prediction of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Progesterone is a hormone that is used quite frequently in various indications in obstetrics and gynecologic practice. We aimed to investigate the influence of progesterone on the uterine artery Doppler pulsatility index (PI) at 11-14 gestational weeks.

Effect of re-approximation of the rectus muscles on diastasis recti abdominis at cesarean section - a prospective cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Caesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world and Turkey. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between re-approximation of the rectus muscles during CS and the severity of diastasis recti abdominis in the first postoperative month. To investigate the relationship between re-approximation of the rectus muscles during CS and the severity of diastasis recti abdominis in the first postoperative month.

The relationship between LCS6 polymorphism and endometrium cancer.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between LCS6 mutation and endometrial cancer (EC). The study included 105 patients who had hysterectomy for benign reasons and 99 EC patients. The patients with Type 1 EC were classified according to histological properties, cancer stage, grade, tumour dimension, myometrial invasion (MMI), lymphovascular invasion (LVI), cytology, and number of positive lymph nodes.

Subclinical inflammation markers in hyperemesis gravidarum and ketonuria: A case-control study.

Introduction: Subclinical inflammation markers play a significant role in hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG). Simple hematological markers such as mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been shown to reflect inflammatory burden and disease activity in several disorders. Ketonuria is a parameter used in the diagnosis of severe HEG, but its correlation with disease severity remains controversial.

Systemic inflammatory response markers in preeclampsia.

Purpose: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), platelet distribution width (PDW), red cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), and plateletcrit (PCT) are known as systemic inflammatory response markers. In this study, we aimed to evaluate changes in NLR, PLR, PDW, RDW, MPV, and PCT in preeclampsia (PE) and their use in predicting its severity.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study.

The effect of increased number of cesarean on maternal and fetal outcomes.
