Examination of the antioxidant effects of pre-HSG melatonin use on ovarian surface epithelium in rats: An experimental study.

Background: There is no study of whether the dysplastic changes in the ovarian surface epithelium of X-ray-exposed rats during hysterosalpingography (HSG) decrease or not with the use of Lipiodol and melatonin given both intraperitoneally (i.p.) and into the suspensorium ovarii.

The importance of uterosacral ligament anatomy in overactive bladder: A preliminary study.

Objective: To evaluate whether uterosacral ligament (USL) thickness measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was associated with overactive bladder (OAB) in otherwise healthy women.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 27 women with OAB and 27 healthy women (control group) who were followed up at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of a tertiary referral center. All subjects were evaluated using pelvic MRI to determine the transverse USL thickness.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed intra-abdominal adhesions of 672 patients.

Results: Among the patients, 173, 206, 151, and 142 underwent CS for the first, second, third, and fourth time or more, respectively.

Vaginal Hysterectomy with Anterior Four-Arm Mesh Implant Technique in the Surgical Treatment of a Woman with Total Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Purpose. We present a case report of a woman with total POP and SUI who was treated with a technique utilizing vaginal hysterectomy followed by the placement of a four-arm synthetic polypropylene mesh implant system. Methods.

The role of mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the prediction of placental abruption.

We determined the role of mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) in the prediction of placental abruption (PA) prior to caesarean section. Data obtained between January 2011 and July 2014 from patients (n = 33) with PA and healthy control subjects (n = 67) matched for age- and gestation-stage were analysed. Pre-operative and post-operative MPV and PDW were significantly different between the PA and control groups when cut-off values for MPV were set at 9.

Interleukin-10 and -12 in human milk at 3 stages of lactation: a longitudinal study.

This study was undertaken to analyze postpartum changes in concentrations of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-12 through the 3 stages of lactation. A total of 87 human milk samples were collected from 29 healthy mothers during the colostrum (0-3 days), early milk (14-17 days), and mature milk (44-47 days) phases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests were performed on the milk samples.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical study.

Results: Nine patients aged 21-32 presented to our clinic with complaints of dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and primary or secondary infertility.

Emergency peripartum hysterectomy.

Objective: To review the incidence, indications, risk factors, and complications associated with emergency peripartum hysterectomy.

Study Design: We analyzed retrospectively 38 cases of emergency peripartum hysterectomy operations performed between January 1996 and June 2001 at Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Research and Education Hospital. The indications, risk factors and the associated complications were noted.

Reproductive outcome of septate uterus after hysteroscopic metroplasty.

We evaluated the reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic metroplasty in the patients with septate uterus. The reproductive performance of 361 patients with septate uterus during the follow-up period of 18 months after the surgery was analyzed retrospectively for a period of 10 years. A total of 180 (49.
