Objective: The objective of this study was to assess oxidative stress in small for gestational age (SGA) newborns and their mothers by evaluating intra- and extracellular thiol homeostasis and the quantification of major oxidants and antioxidants.
Methods: A total of 75 mothers and their 75 newborns (43 SGA) were enrolled in this study. Thiol-disulfide homeostasis, serum myeloperoxidase, catalase, total oxidant, and antioxidant status were analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the attitudes of medical students and professionals towards female genital cosmetic procedures (FGCPs) in terms of medical justification, applicability in practical life, ethical concerns, patient autonomy, and the clinical/social/psychological benefits-harms of these procedures.
Materials And Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire providing information about the attitudes of medical students and specialists (n=623) towards FGCPs including G-spot amplification, clitoral hood reduction, vaginoplasty, labia majora augmentation/reduction, labia minora augmentation/reduction, hymenoplasty, laser procedures, vulvar/perianal bleaching, and liposculpture, was completed by a target population and evaluated statistically.
Results: Participants stated that FGCPs could be performed only upon patient request and there could rarely be a medical indication for their performance (p<0.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between complete blood count parameters and adnexal torsion, assessing their usefulness for preoperative diagnosis.
- The research involved analyzing patient records from a Turkish hospital over a ten-year period, involving 296 subjects, with 73 diagnosed cases of adnexal torsion compared to 223 healthy controls.
- Findings indicated that specific blood parameters, particularly lower mean platelet volume, were significantly associated with adnexal torsion and could serve as a helpful diagnostic tool, with a sensitivity of 77.4% and specificity of 74.2%.
Objectives: To investigate the factors which might influence the sonographic fetal weight estimation (SFWE) accuracy.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted among 949 singleton term pregnant women who delivered at a tertiary center, from January 2017 to December 2017. All participants' maternal (i.
Objective: To determine the usefulness of single-layer, ultrasonographic measurement of endometrial fluid collection (EFC) volume to predict endometrial pathology in asymptomatic postmenopausal patients.
Methods: One hundred fifty asymptomatic postmenopausal women were analysed retrospectively from January 2012 to December 2016. After patients with endometrial hyperplasia/neoplasia were included in Group-I, and those with insufficient tissue, endometrial atrophy, or endometritis were included in Group-II; Groups one and two were compared with respect to primary (correlations between endometrial thickness and EFC volume) and secondary (correlations between demographic characteristics and EFC volume) outcomes.
Background: The aim was to compare serum soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels as well as interleukin-6 levels (IL-6) in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and asymptomatic pregnant women.
Methods: Our study population consists of voluntary first trimester-pregnant women who applied to the outpatient clinic of the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital. Between February and May 2016, 60 pregnant women were included in our prospective study.
Objective: To evaluate the success of systemic single-dose methotrexate (MTX) treatment in patients with ectopic pregnancy (EP) and to investigate factors related to treatment success.
Methods: This retrospective study had been performed in Yildirim Beyazit University between January 2010 and December 2015. Demographic and clinical characteristics, ultrasonografic findings, pretreatment serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and progesterone levels of 58 patients with EP were retrieved from hospital records retrospectively.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the development of intrapartum fetal distress and serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels measured during first-trimester aneuploidy screening tests.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 283 uncomplicated pregnancies that resulted in full-term live births via spontaneous labor or with the induction by oxytocin. Cases were divided into two groups based on whether their first-trimester PAPP-A multiple of the median (MoM) levels were ≤0.
Objective: To present our experiences with an innovative surgical approach for vaginal agenesis that uses amnion as the allograft to create a functional neovagina.
Study Design: This study involved 5 patients with diagnosed vaginal agenesis. One patient had karyotype 46,XY and was diagnosed with complete androgen insensitivity syn- drome, whereas the others had karyotype 46,XX and were diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kiister-Hauser syndrome.
Maternal serum 25(OH)D levels in the third trimester of pregnancy during the winter season.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2011
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed vitamin D levels in 79 pregnant women during their third trimester in winter and identified factors impacting these levels.
- The average serum 25(OH)D level was found to be low (11.95 ± 7.20 ng/ml), with 45.6% of participants experiencing severe vitamin D deficiency.
- Results indicated no link between deficiency and factors like age or education, but those with better socioeconomic status and multivitamin use had higher vitamin D levels.
