The role of FSH to AMH ratio in poor prognosis patients undergoing ICSI cycle.

Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the number of oocyte retrieval and cycle cancellation using follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) ratio in poor prognosis patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study including fresh cycles was conducted in Zekai Tahir Burak Women’s Health Training and Research Hospital, between January 2015 and October 2018. Women aged between 24 and 44 years were recruited and the baseline serum hormone levels, FSH/AMH ratio, and the antral follicle count were recorded.

Impact of endometrioma and bilaterality on IVF / ICSI cycles in patients with endometriosis.

Aim: Endometriosis, one of the most common gynecological disorder, is a challenging disease observed in 20 %-40 % of subfertile women. Endometriomas affect 17-44 % of women with endometriosis. Because endometrioma has detrimental effects on fertility, many of these women need Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to conceive.

GnRH agonist versus HCG triggering in different IVF/ICSI cycles of same patients: a retrospective study.

The aim of this study was to assess Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone agonist (GnRHa) trigger results of fresh in vitro fertilisation (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) cycles in high-responder patients. Thirty-six high-responder patients, undergoing GnRH antagonist protocol combined with GnRHa trigger for final oocyte maturation, were included. All cycles were autologous fresh transfer cycles.

Evaluation of bone mineral density and its associated factors in postpartum women.

Objective: Although osteoporosis commonly appears among postmenopausal women, it is rarely diagnosed during the postpartum period as pregnancy-lactation associated osteoporosis (PAO). The aim of the study reported here was to investigate low bone mineral density and its associated risk factors in postpartum women.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 93 females aged 18-40 years and in the first month of the postpartum period.

Pregnancy in Adolescence: Is It an Obstetrical Risk?

Study Objective: Adolescent pregnancy is an important public health problem worldwide. It is associated with increased risk of maternal and fetal complications. We aimed to investigate whether adolescent pregnancies have an increased risk for perinatal complications.

Alterations of ionized and total magnesium levels in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background/aims: The aim of this prospective study was to determine ionized and total magnesium (Mg) levels in pregnant subjects with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: Eighty-five women, 26-28 weeks pregnant, were recruited for routine oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT); 45 had normal OGTT results and 40 were diagnosed with GDM. Electrolyte levels, including ionized and total Mg, were analyzed.

Roles of neutrophil/lymphocyte and platelet/lymphocyte ratios in the early diagnosis of malignant ovarian masses.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the utility and importance of the various parameters of complete blood count panel for benign-malignant differentiation of adnexal masses.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study involved 316 patients with documented benign and 253 patients with malignant adnexal masses who underwent primary surgical treatment at a tertiary referral center. Prior to the study, all benign and malignant cases were compared within their own groups and then the benign and malignant cases were compared to each other.

Placental growth factor: as an early second trimester predictive marker for preeclampsia in normal and high-risk pregnancies in a Turkish population.

Objective: Placental growth factor (PlGF) is an angiogenetic factor and inducts the development of preeclampsia in a hypoxic environment. In this study, we examined maternal blood PlGF levels in a pregnant population between 16 and 19 weeks of gestation for determining the prospective value for early diagnosis of preeclampsia as a screening test.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 114 nulliparous normotensive pregnant women were selected for the control group and 34 patients who have chronic hypertension or had a medical history of hypertensive disorders in previous pregnancies were selected for the study group.
