Adnexal masses and pregnancy: a single-center experience of 9 years.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the experience of a tertiary health center about the management of adnexal masses that have been diagnosed during pregnancy or detected accidentally during cesarean delivery.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of 160 women who underwent concurrent surgery for adnexal mass during cesarean section, 24 women who delivered vaginally and subsequently had surgery due to the prenatal diagnosis of adnexal mass and 10 women who underwent surgery for adnexal mass during pregnancy. Corresponding to the delivery and surgery times, 200 women who had no diagnosis of pregnancy-associated adnexal mass served as controls.

Complementary Approaches in Fetal Genetic Diagnosis: Decision-Making Process and Alternative Choices for Clinicians in a Secondary Health Care Institution.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine indications of invasive, genetic results of conventional karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis and culture failure rates to discuss possible solution options and guide our clinical choices.

Materials And Methods: Fetal samples were analyzed by conventional karyotyping, array comparative genomic hybridization, fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Results: Failure rates of chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis were as follows, respectively: 4.

Effects of Surgical Anatomical Correction of Pelvic Anterior Compartment Defect on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of surgical anatomical correction on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with a pelvic anterior compartment defect (PACD).

Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 30 women who had stage II-IV PACD. The women were questioned regarding LUTS symptoms such as urgency, urge incontinence, frequency, hesitancy, abnormal emptying, nocturia and dysuria pre and postoperatively.

The Effect of the Amniotic Fluid Index on the Accuracy of Ultrasonographic-Estimated Fetal Weight.

Background: Fetal weight estimation is one of the most important aspects of antenatal care. The effects of amniotic fluid volume on the accuracy of estimated fetal weight (EFW) depend on the amount of fluid, in particular whether it is polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios. Previous studies have reported conflicting results of the effects of amniotic fluid volume on EFW accuracy.

The effect of serum and follicular fluid anti-Mullerian hormone level on the number of oocytes retrieved and rate of fertilization and clinical pregnancy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between oocyte yield, fertilization, and clinical pregnancy (CP), and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level in serum and follicular fluid during in vitro fertilization treatment.

Methods: Forty-four infertile women who underwent IVF treatment using multiagonist protocol were included in this study. Baseline level of AMH in serum and follicular fluid was measured on third day of menstrual cycle.
