Background: To estimate a possible association between the effects of daily meteorological variation and climatological changes (temperature, air pressure, humidity, sunniness level) on pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) according to symptoms grade and hospitalization state.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 118 patients diagnosed and hospitalized with HG. HG patients were graded as mild, moderate, or severe according to the Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) scale.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the link between anxiety and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels among healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients.
- Researchers involved 52 healthcare professionals and used anxiety assessments along with AMH level measurements, finding a significant relationship between anxiety severity and lower AMH levels.
- Results indicated that those with moderate to severe anxiety had lower AMH levels, suggesting that increased anxiety due to the pandemic may negatively impact ovarian reserve in these professionals.
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.
Objective: To investigate the rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) positivity in asymptomatic pregnant women admitted to hospital for delivery in a Turkish pandemic center.
Study Design: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Ankara City Hospital between April, 15, 2020 and June, 5, 2020. A total of 206 asymptomatic pregnant women (103 low-risk pregnant women without any defined risk factor and 103 high-risk pregnant women) were screened for SARS-CoV-2 positivity upon admission to hospital for delivery.
