Metabolomic analysis of seminal fluids in infertile individuals.

Objective: Infertility impacts a substantial number of couples worldwide, and about 50% of cases are linked to male factors. The analysis of seminal fluid composition can improve diagnostic accuracy and offer deeper insights into the pathophysiology of male factor infertility. This study seeks to identify novel markers for diagnosing and treating male infertility by comparing organic acid profiles in the seminal fluid of individuals with normospermia, oligospermia, and azoospermia.

Evaluation of Nrg4 and thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with GDM.

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of neuregulin4 (Nrg4) in the etiopathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and thiol/disulfide homeostasis as an indicator of oxidative stress.

Methods: This prospective, case-control study included 34 women with diabetes and 34 healthy pregnant women who applied between January 2017 and January 2020. Levels of native and total thiol, disulfide and Nrg4 were measured in both diabetes mellitus and healthy pregnant groups.

A comparison of crystal phenol treatment, midline primary closure and Limberg flap reconstruction methods in female patients with primary pilonidal sinus disease.

Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic problem often occurs in healthy hirsute men, however, women may also be affected. A range of conservative techniques to surgical flaps have been used to treat this condition. Currently, midline primary closure (MPC) is considered the standard of therapy; however, no statistically significant difference has been noted between primary versus secondary (Karydakis flap or Limberg flap) closure.

The relationship between gestational week and QT dispersion in cesarean section patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia: A prospective study.

Background: Pregnancy affects the cardiovascular system, particularly the cardiac conduction system, thereby increasing the susceptibility of patients towards arrhythmia. QT interval results in ventricular arrhythmias, predominantly polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. The present study was planned to investigate the relationship between a gestational week and QT dispersion in cesarean section patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia.

Shear-wave elastography for detection of placenta percreta: a case-controlled study.

Background: Prenatal diagnosis of placenta percreta (PP) is important to be able to provide effective management and a multidisciplinary approach to minimize the complications.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of shear-wave elastography (SWE) in the prenatal diagnosis of PP.

Material And Methods: A total of 18 women with PP and 20 pregnant women with normal placenta in the second or third trimesters were included in this prospective study.
