Effect of coexisting adenomyosis on patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma: Determination of intraoperative risk factors for tumor metastasis and estimation of prognosis.

Context: We sought to clarify the impact of adenomyosis on the clinical and pathological prognosis of endometrial cancer to aid the selection of appropriate surgical intervention based on the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

Aims: Our study aimed to report the frequency of adenomyosis in patients with endometrioid cancer and correlate its incidence rate with the survival and prognostic factors.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 357 patients.

The predictive value of the first trimester combined test for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: To investigate the predictive importance of first trimester combined test markers pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), human chorionic gonadotropin β (β-hCG) and nuchal translucency (NT) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Material And Methods: Pregnant women which both first trimester combined test and GDM screening were performed during antenatal follow-up were included in this retrospective case-control study. The cases were divided into two groups as GDM screening positive and negative.

The effect of fetal gender on the biochemical markers of the first-trimester screening.

Objectives: To determine the effects of fetal gender on the maternal levels of first-trimester screening biochemical markers, such pregnancy-related plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG).

Methods: In this retrospective study, we assessed 267 cases of singleton pregnancies, who underwent first trimester screening tests and delivered between January 2016 and January 2019 at our hospital. Multiple of median (MoM) levels of PAPP-A and free β-hCG, and the neonatal genders according to the birth records were compared and analyzed.

Lower uterine segment involvement in lymphovascular space invasion and lymph node metastasis in endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) indicating lower uterine segment involvement (LUSI) in endometrioid endometrial cancer and lymph node metastasis based on the lymphatic drainage difference between the uterine corpus and the lower segment.

Material And Methods: Patients who underwent staging surgery for endometrioid endometrial cancer between January 2010 and January 2019 at our institution were reviewed. The clinicopathologic findings and LUSI status of the patients were compared with their LVSI and lymph node metastasis status.

Oncocytic and tall columnar type papillary thyroid carcinoma arising on a mature cystic teratoma: A case report and literature review.

Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common germ cell ovarian tumour, which accounts for 15-20% of all ovarian neoplasms. The frequency of MCT cases undergoing malignant transformation ranges from 0.17% to 2%.

Emergency peripartum hysterectomy: A retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital in Turkey from 2007 to 2015.

Postpartum haemorrhage is the most important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially when all conservative measures, including syntometrine oxytocin and Bakri balloons have failed to accomplish haemostasis and expeditious surgical procedures, such as uterine artery ligation and emergency peripartum hysterectomy (EPH) are required. This retrospective study analysed 31 cases of EPH performed between January 2007 and January 2016 in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Izmir Ataturk Teaching and Research Hospital. All hysterectomies performed for bleeding not responding to other treatments within 24 h of vaginal delivery or caesarean section (CS) were included.
