Ultrasonographic imaging of the fetal hippocampus.

Objectives: The objective was to identify the fetal hippocampus and fornix using 2D and to measure the C-shaped length of fornix and hippocampus.

Methods: This study was designed in cross-section. Healthy singleton and between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation pregnant women who applied to the perinatology outpatient clinic for second-level ultrasound scanning between December 2022 and February 2023 were included in the study.

Ultrasonographic Imaging of the Fetal Pyloric Sphincter.

Objectives: In this study, we hypothesized that the pyloric sphincter can be directly visualized by ultrasonography in the prenatal period.

Methods: This study was designed as a cross-section. Single, healthy pregnancies between 18 and 22 weeks of gestation who applied to the Perinatology outpatient clinic for second-level ultrasonography were included in the study.

The haemodynamic effects of umbilical cord milking in term infants: a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Umbilical cord milking (UCM) is a method that allows for postnatal placental transfusion. The benefits of UCM have been demonstrated in some studies, but knowledge about its haemodynamic effects in term infants is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the haemodynamic effects of UCM in term infants.

Ultrasonographic Imaging of the Fetal Duodenal Tract.

Objectives: To investigate whether fetal duodenal tract sections can be visualized in the prenatal ultrasonographic examination.

Methods: This study was designed in cross-section. Healthy singleton pregnant women who applied to the perinatology outpatient clinic for second-level ultrasound scanning between September 2020 and February 2021 were included in the study.

The effect of mask use on maternal oxygen saturation in term pregnancies during the COVID-19 process.

Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate the effect of standard surgical and N-95 respiratory mask use on maternal oxygen saturation, vital signs and result on non-stress tests in term pregnancies.

Methods: It is a prospective observational study. The study included healthy, not in labor, singleton pregnant women of 370/7-410/7 weeks who were applied to our hospital for routine obstetric control examination between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020.

Effect of previous cesarean sections on second-trimester uterine artery Doppler.

Aim: In this study, we investigated the effects of previous cesarean sections on uterine artery Doppler indices.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 153 healthy pregnant women between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation. Seventy-three pregnant women without previous cesarean sections (control group) and 80 pregnant women with previous cesarean sections (study group) were compared in terms of uterine artery Doppler indices.

The relationship between placental transfusion, and thymic size and neonatal morbidities in premature infants - A Randomized Control Trial.

Objective: To compare the effect of umbilical cord milking and early cord clamping on thymic size, and neonatal mortality and morbidity in preterm infants.

Methods: This single-center, prospective, double-blind, randomised controlled study was conducted at Baskent University, Konya Education and Research Centre, Konya, Turkey, between October 2015 and April 2016. Pregnant women who delivered before 32 weeks of gestation were randomised to receive umbilical cord milking (group 1) or early cord clamping (group 2).

Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio: A new inflammatory marker for the diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes.

Objective: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is closely related with maternal and fetal complications. Therefore, early diagnosis is extremely important to provide maternal and fetal well-being. Many inflammatory markers have been evaluated for their ability to diagnose membrane rupture at early stages.

Does the Presence of Endometrial Polyp Predict Colorectal Polyp?

Introduction: Endometrial polyps (EPs) and colorectal polyps (CPs) are common disorders and the incidence of both increase rapidly with aging. CPs are focal lesions and incidence increases with age.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to analyze retrospectively the relationship between the EPs and CPs sharing similar clinical and genetic factors in their etiopathogenesis.

Impaired coronary microvascular function and increased intima-media thickness in preeclampsia.

There is an association between preeclampsia (PE) and excessive morbidity and mortality. Some recent studies have revealed the presence of endothelial dysfunction in PE patients with inflammatory activity. Moreover, it has been argued that the chronic inflammatory state involved in PE leads to an acceleration in atherosclerosis.

Phenotypic subgroups of polycystic ovary syndrome have different intra-renal resistance symptoms.

Objective: The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is known to be related with increased metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Various phenotypic subgroups of PCOS have been proven to have metabolic and endocrine disorders with varying degrees of severity However, intra-renal vascular resistance, which is an indirect indication of atherosclerosis, remains unknown in PCOS subgroups. In this study we examined whether PCOS subgroups have different intra-renal resistance symptoms.

Effect of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation treatment on cardiac function.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) treatment on cardiac functions using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).

Study Design: Twenty-one patients aged 22-35 years were enrolled to COH cycles. Each subject underwent a conventional transthoracic echocardiographic examination that included an assessment of cardiac function.
