Predictivity of fatty liver index for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in lean females with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background: Fatty liver index (FLI) is a simple tool used to predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The role of FLI in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) for the prediction of NAFLD has not been elucidated.

Methods: This case-control study was from January 2014 to January 2016.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety and depressive symptoms in pregnant women: a preliminary study.

Objective: The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak that began in China has turned into a pandemic that threatens global health, thereby prompting the concentration of studies and clinical routines on treating and preventing the disease. However, research on the psychological effects of the pandemic on the general population, particularly pregnant women, is lacking. Accordingly, the present study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on depression and anxiety in pregnant women.

Distinct temperament and character traits in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum.

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is an extreme form of vomiting during pregnancy and is characterized with excessive vomiting and nausea and ketonuria, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration and severe nurtition deficiency.

Altough there is a great interest to HG in terms of psychiatric conditions, there have been limited numbers of studies that researched personality traits in patients with HG.

Single-incision-two port laparoscopic tubal ligation: A cost comparison and technique description.

Objective: Laparoscopic surgery is the principal minimally invasive technique that is used for the treatment of gynecologic pathologies. The single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is another innovation in minimally invasive medicine. The cost of the procedure correlates with the fundamental materials used to access the abdominal cavity and utilize trocars.

Does previous abdominal surgery effect the feasibility of total laparoscopic hysterectomy?

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of previous abdominal surgery on the feasibility of performing and the safety of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Material And Methods: In this retrospective study, we analysed 62 laparoscopic hysterectomies which were performed at our institute between February 2011 and January 2013. We chose to perform laparoscopic surgery for all patients, including those who had previously undergone abdominal surgery.

Tear osmolarity and ocular surface changes in patient with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the tear osmolarity and ocular surface changes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight patients with recently diagnosed PCOS and thirty-three control volunteers were enrolled in this prospective, observational study. Ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score was calculated.

Is subclinical hypothyroidism contributing dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?

We aimed to analyze lipid parameters and determine the need for a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for the identification of IR and impaired glucose tolerance test (IGT) in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). 20 patients with PCOS and SCH consisted of Group I and 39 patients with PCOS and normal thyroid function consisted of Group II and 53 healthy women with normal thyroid function consisted of Group III. Triglyceride levels were 143.
