Thirty-one women diagnosed with rectocele on examination were included in the study group.

Proposal to recognise the tribes Adinobotryeae and Glycyrrhizeae (Leguminosae subfamily Papilionoideae) based on chloroplast phylogenomic evidence.

Within the legume family, the taxonomic status of subtribe Glycyrrhizinae of tribe Galegeae and of the genus has been re-assessed. Based on genome skimming data, we conducted phylogenomic analyses of the inverted repeat-lacking clade within subfamily Papilionoideae. The results support the sister relationship between Glycyrrhizeae and .

A bi-modal, cellulose-based sensor for fluorometric detection of Fe(III) and antimicrobial studies of its silver-loaded form.

The study reports designing of a new, low-cost and environmentally friendly colorimetric and fluorometric sensor by using cellulose-based materials for detection and determination of Fe(III). To make powder cellulose (Cel) and filter paper (PCel) fluorescent, they were modified with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and 4-sulfo-1,8-naphthalimide (Nap). Fluorescent Cel-Nap and PCel-Nap materials were used for spectroscopic detection of Fe(III).

Antibacterial activities and DNA-cleavage properties of novel fluorescent imidazo-phenanthroline derivatives.

Design and biological activities of fluorescent imidazo-phenanthroline derivatives; (E)-5-((4-((4-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenoxy)methyl)benzylidene)amino)- isophthalicacid, 2 and 2-(4-(((5-chloroquinolin-8-yl)oxy)methyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5f] [1,10]phenanthroline, 3, have been reported. Their characterizations were performed by spectroscopic techniques. Their promising photophysical behaviours were observed in absorbance and fluorescence studies.

Is There a Relationship Between Vitamin D Deficiency Status and PCOS in Infertile Women?

It is still unclear in the literature whether low vitamin D levels play a role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), especially with respect to the regulation of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether there could be a relationship between vitamin D deficiency status and PCOS. A total of 146 infertile women were divided into two groups according to their ovarian reserve patterns: (i) normal (NOR), and (ii) high (PCOS).

Relationship between elevated serum level of placental growth factor and status of gestational diabetes mellitus.

As only limited and confusing evidence about serum placental growth factor (PlGF) level in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) exist in the known literature, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of maternal serum PlGF level with GDM status. The pregnant women attending the Obstetrics Outpatient Unit of Hitit University Hospital were screened at 24 and 28 weeks of gestation for GDM according to the suggestions of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Concisely, all of the low-risk pregnant women were evaluated with a 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT).

Two-Year Results of Community-Based Screening Program for Human Papilloma Virus DNA in Çorum Province.

Objective: The Turkish Ministry of Health started a community-based screening program using Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA in 2014. In our study, we aimed to investigate the results of this survey in Çorum province between the years of 2016-17 to determine the shortcomings and deficiencies in practice.

Material And Method: All of the women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who had undergone High risk HPV DNA screening in Çorum province between 2016 and 2017 were included in the study.

Relationship between intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and morbidly adherent placenta.

Objective Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is a clinical condition the prevalance of which is steadily increasing. It is described as the invasion of the placenta into the uterine wall through the myometrium and beyond. Several studies have shown that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) increases the invasion capability of tumor cells and placental cells.

Relationship between vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and morbidly adherent placenta.

Introduction: Morbidly adherent placenta is a clinical condition of which prevalance is steadily increasing. It is described as the invasion of the placenta into the uterine wall through the myometrium and beyond. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 is a calcium independent transmembrane glycoprotein.

Is there a role for kisspeptin in pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome?

Aim: To investigate association of kisspeptin levels in infertile women with different ovarian reserve patterns.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 157 participants were recruited. The women were divided into three groups: (i) adequate ovarian reserve (AOR) (n = 57), (ii) high ovarian reserve (PCOS) (n = 60), (iii) diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) (n = 40).

Hedysarum L. (Fabaceae: Hedysareae) Is Not Monophyletic - Evidence from Phylogenetic Analyses Based on Five Nuclear and Five Plastid Sequences.
