Extending the culture of cleavage-stage embryos to the blastocyst stage after warming increases the chance of live birth: does it have a regenerative effect?

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the effect of extending the culture of cleavage-stage embryos to the blastocyst stage in vitrified-warmed cycles on pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: This is a retrospectively designed pilot study of a single center. All patients who applied for freeze-all cycle procedures during in vitro fertilization treatment were included in the study.

Diet and pravastatin administration prior to fertilization treatment may improve pregnancy outcome in women with dyslipidemia.

In this study, we aimed to identify whether using statins may increase the chance of pregnancy in Fertilisation / Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (IVF/ICSI) patients with hyperlipidaemia. Therefore, in this retrospective cohort study, 70 patients constituted the study population and all patients were managed by lipid lowering diet. Ten mg pravastatin (pravachol DEVA, Istanbul, Turkey) was added to therapy in case of resistant hypercholesterolaemia after 15 days of the diet.

Survival impact of number of removed para-aortic lymph nodes in stage I epithelial ovarian cancer.

Purpose: The survival effect of presence or absence of lymphadenectomy in early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) was priorly shown but the effect of number of removed lymph nodes kept in background. We aimed to evaluate the survival impact of number of removed lymph nodes and their localizations in stage I EOC.

Methods: This study included 182 patients.

Dydrogesterone primed luteal phase stimulation may be better than follicular phase stimulation in patients with diminished ovarian reserve.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of luteal phase stimulation (LPS) and follicular phase stimulation (FPS) in two separate menstrual cycles (2-5 months intervals) of the same patient, utilizing LPS with dydrogesteron only.

Methods: This retrospective case control study was conducted with patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) (Group 1) and infertile patients with Anti-Müllerian hormone >1.2 ng/mL (Group 2) undergoing two ovarian stimulations (FPS and LPS with dydrogesteron only) and two oocyte retrievals in two separate menstrual cycles (2-5 months intervals) in the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility of Baskent University, Ankara, between April 2019 and December 2019.

Factors affecting parametrial involvement in cervical cancer patients with tumor size ≤4 cm and selection of low-risk patient group.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting parametrial involvement in cervical cancer patients with tumor size ≤4 cm and selection of the low-risk patient group based on long-term oncologic outcomes.

Material And Methods: Cervical cancer patients operated in the gynecologic oncology division between 2007 and 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. One-hundred and sixty-eight patients with tumor size ≤4 cm were identified.

A novel technique for prediction of preterm birth: fetal nasal flow Doppler.

Objectives: Absence of fetal breathing movements (FBM) has been found to be a good predictor of preterm delivery in symptomatic patients. However, analysis of FBM patterns and Doppler measurement of them for preterm birth prediction have not been performed before. In this study, we aimed to investigate and analyze FBM patterns in symptomatic preterm labor patients by fetal ultrasonography and nasal Doppler.

The Effects of Transobturator Tape Surgery on Sexual Functions in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can adversely affect the patient's sexual function.

Aim: To evaluate the sexual functions in women who underwent transobturator tape (TOT) surgery because of stress urinary incontinence and factors affecting the treatment results.

Methods: The study was conducted in 2 tertiary level clinics between 2013 and 2019 and included sexually active patients with a diagnosis of SUI who underwent TOT operation.

Prognostic impact of p16 and p53 gene expressions in stage 1a epithelial ovarian cancer.

Objective: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is rarely detected at stage 1a. Most of the patients have a good prognosis and there are limited factors that affect their survival. In the present study, we evaluated the p16 and p53 gene expressions of stage 1a EOC patients.

The Role of Analysis of NK Cell Subsets in Peripheral Blood and Uterine Lavage Samples in Evaluation of Patients with Recurrent Implantation Failure.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the role of analyses of NK cell subsets in peripheral blood and uterine lavage samples in evaluation of patients with unexplained RIF.

Methods: This retrospective single-institution case-control study included two different cohorts between 2017-2019. First cohort included patients examined with peripheral blood samples for evaluation of possible immunologic problems in patients with unexplained recurrent implantation failure; in the study period, a total of 75 consecutive patients with RIF (study group; n: 42) or infertile patients without RIF (control group; n: 33) were included.

Factors associated with surgical morbidity of primary debulking in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Objective: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) requires an aggressive surgical approach. The important part of literature on ovarian cancer surgery emphasize residual tumor and survival analyses. Morbidity issue keeps in background.

Early pregnancy after bariatric surgery: a single-institute preliminary experience.

Background/aim: Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is an issue of growing importance with increasing number of women undergoing bariatric surgery. Therefore, in this study we present patients who conceived after sleeve gastrectomy and evaluate the obstetric outcomes.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective case-control study includes 23 women who conceived after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Trimester-specific reference intervals of thyroid function tests in Turkish pregnants.

Physiological changes in hormone levels occur in thyroid gland during pregnancy. Screening of the thyroid hormone levels and determining trimester-specific reference intervals in pregnancy are important. Guidelines recommend the use of trimester-specific reference ranges for each country.

Oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing maximal or optimal cytoreductive surgery for Stage 3C serous ovarian, tubal or peritoneal carcinomas.

The aim of this study was to evaluate overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with Stage 3C serous ovarian, tubal and peritoneal carcinomas. A retrospective analysis of 111 patients who underwent maximal or optimal cytoreductive surgery was performed. Patients were divided into three groups as ovarian cancer ( = 47), tubal cancer ( = 24) and peritoneal cancer ( = 40).

Bilateral synchronous ovarian tumours: an uncommon case and review of the literature.

Synchronous ovarian tumours are rare. Management of these patients can differ from that of patients with uniform tumours. We present a case of synchronous epithelial ovarian cancer and malignant mixed Müllerian tumour in different ovaries, its follow-up and management until death.

Endometrial histopathology results and evaluation of endometrial cancer risk in geriatric women.

The incidence of premalignant and malignant endometrial disorders increases during the postmenopausal period. In the literature, endometrial disorders are usually discussed in the context of menopausal status. But there are limited data regarding endometrial disorders in geriatric patients.

The preoperative albumin level is an independent prognostic factor for optimally debulked epithelial ovarian cancer.

Purpose: A low albumin level has been reported to be a prognostic factor for various cancers. The aim of this study was to determine the association between preoperative serum albumin level and survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Methods: Records of 337 patients with EOC that underwent optimal cytoreductive surgery were retrospectively reviewed.
