Examination of the change in sexual functions and anxiety as the pregnancy progresses and the effect of nulliparity on this change.

Objective: The objective of the study is to examine the sexual functions and anxiety levels of the same pregnant women during the three periods of pregnancy, and to observe how they change between trimesters and also the effect of nulliparity on these changes.

Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted between 2019 and 2021 in the University Hospital. Healthy, heterosexual pregnant women were included in this study and were consecutively interviewed regarding their anxiety levels and sexual function in the three trimesters of pregnancy.

Serum MUC3 Protein as a Novel Marker of Gestational Hypertensive Disorders.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the serum levels of mucoprotein 3 in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy.

Methods: In total, 60 consecutive women with gestational hypertensive diseases (gestational hypertension ( = 20), severe preeclampsia ( = 20), HELLP syndrome ( = 20)) and 20 pregnant women without any gestational hypertensive diseases were included for this prospective controlled study. Serum MUC3 protein levels were measured with commercially available ELISA kits.

The effect of low-dose combined hormone therapy (oestradiol and norethindrone acetate) on serum C-reactive protein levels and life quality in natural menopause women.

Introduction: To assess the effect of low-dose combined oestradiol and norethindrone acetate hormone therapy (HT) on serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and life quality in natural menopause women.

Material And Methods: Forty-five natural menopause women admitted to the clinic during a 1-year period and diagnosed as menopause, who planned to have HT for menopausal symptoms, were enrolled in this prospective study. The serum CRP levels were measured, and vasomotor symptoms scores were graded according to the Blatt-Kupperman menopause index, and life quality scores according to the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) were recorded before and after (3 months later) hormone therapy.

Serum ischemia-modified albumin level returns to its premenopausal level with 1-year hormone therapy in healthy menopausal women.

Introduction: To assess the effect of hormone therapy (HT) on serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels in healthy menopausal women.

Material And Methods: Thirty surgical menopausal women who were admitted to our menopausal polyclinic during a 1-year period and diagnosed with menopause and planned to have HT for menopausal symptoms were enrolled in this prospective study. The serum İMA levels were recorded before and after (3 months, 6 months, 12 months later) hormone treatment (2 mg estradiol hemihydrate).

Fetal cardiac Doppler changes in gestational diabetic pregnancies and its relationship with perinatal outcomes.

Aim: To examine the structural and functional changes of the fetal heart in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to evaluate the power of fetal cardiac Doppler parameters in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes in this group of pregnancy.

Methods: Within the study's scope, 36 cases in the A1 GDM group, 33 cases in the A2 GDM group, and 124 cases in the control group were evaluated. The relationship between structural and functional fetal cardiac parameters and perinatal outcomes was evaluated via fetal echocardiography.

Carbon Dioxide Pneumoperitoneum May Alter Ovarian Apoptosis: An Experimental Study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian immunohistochemical CD95 expression in a rabbit carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum model.

Materials And Methods: The study group including seven rabbits was subjected to intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) (12 mmHg); the control group was not subjected to IAP (the sham group, = 7). At the end of the experiment, ovariectomy was performed.

Triangle of COVID, anxiety and menstrual cycle.

This study aimed to examine whether the menstrual cycles of women with regular cycles have been affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. This cross-sectional online survey study evaluated the menstrual cycle characteristics of women in the reproductive phase of their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. Changes before and after COVID-19 were evaluated with a paired sample -test and chi-square test.

Cord blood gas results of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and the relationship of these results with the amount of proteinuria.

Aim: To evaluate whether there is a statistically significant difference between the cord blood gas parameters of pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia and uncomplicated pregnancies and to show whether the amount of proteinuria affects fetal cord blood gas parameters in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia.

Methods: The study was designed retrospectively. Between 2016 and 2019, the neonatal results and cord blood gas results of 109 pregnant women who were diagnosed with preeclampsia and 75 nonpreeclamptic randomly selected pregnant women were compared.

Evaluation of the frequency of coitus interruptus and the effect of contraception counselling on this frequency.

In this prospective study, the aim was to determine the frequency and effectiveness of the coitus interruptus method, to compare the demographic characteristics of women using modern contraception methods and those using the coitus interruptus method and to demonstrate how effective contraceptive counselling is in choosing a contraception method. The researchers collected data from 1000 sexually active women in their reproductive period at the gynaecological clinic of a university hospital in Turkey. The researchers used an introductory information contraceptive counselling form, which they prepared for the data collection tool.

The relationship of menopausal symptoms with the type of menopause and lipid levels.

Introduction: Many postmenopausal women experience hot flashes, night sweats, decreased sexual desire and vaginal dryness. In this study, we aimed to compare the menopause symptom levels of surgical menopause patients and natural menopause patients by using a Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and investigate whether there is a relationship between lipid levels and menopausal symptoms in surgical menopause patients.

Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on postmenopausal women who applied to the gynecology outpatient clinic.
