Purpose: To assess the contribution of the terms and definitions recently described by international endometrial tumor analysis (IETA) group when evaluating endometrial lesions on power Doppler imaging.
Methods: Patients requiring endometrial sampling were examined prospectively by transvaginal B-mode and power Doppler sonography (PDS) the day before scheduled diagnostic procedure. Sonographic features were classified using IETA group classification.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine prior to caesarean delivery decreased the incidence of postpartum endometritis.
Methods: The present study was a prospective randomized controlled trial in which subjects received a vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine solution immediately prior to caesarean delivery or received no vaginal preparation. The primary outcome measure was the rate of postpartum endometritis.
Article Synopsis
- Imperforate Hymen (IH) is a rare congenital condition affecting about 1 in 2000 female births that requires surgical intervention, typically hymenotomy or hymenectomy.
- The authors reported two IH cases with varying symptoms and introduced a virginity-preserving surgical technique to accommodate cultural sensitivities.
- This procedure avoids the use of antibiotics and catheters, aiming to create an intact hymen while addressing both medical and social concerns for unmarried girls.
Background: To evaluate the effect of timing of episiotomy repair on peripartum blood loss.
Method: In this case-controlled study, nulliparous women were grouped as: group 1: no episiotomy (control; n = 82); group 2: midline episiotomy repair after placental removal (n = 76); group 3: midline episiotomy repair before placental removal (n = 78); group 4: mediolateral episiotomy repair after placental removal (n = 84), and group 5: mediolateral episiotomy repair before placental removal (n = 80). Hemoglobin and hematocrit values were evaluated at admission and 24 h postpartum.
Aim: To compare the influence of different delivery forms of estrogen therapy (ET) on serum lipid levels.
Methods: For this prospective, randomized, controlled study, 132 surgically menopausal women were assigned to 12 months of therapy with oral conjugated estrogen 0.625 mg/day (n = 35), intranasal 300 microg/day estradiol hemihydrate (n = 33), percutaneous gel 1.
Recurrent mucinous cystadenoma in a 20-year-old woman: was hysterectomy inevitable?
J Obstet Gynaecol Res
December 2006
A recurrence of ovarian mucinous cysts is very rare. Over a period of 21 months, a 20-year-old patient had three laparotomies resulting initially in the removal of one ovary with a mucinous cystadenoma and two cystectomies for the same pathology, but ultimately leading to hysterectomy and salphingo-oopherectomy. Because mucinous tumors are usually benign and most of the time multilocular, management of young patients is challenging, especially in the case of recurrence.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of mode of delivery on postpartum sexual functioning in primiparous women. A total of 248 primiparous women were recruited into this study. One hundred fifty-six delivered spontaneously with mediolateral episiotomy and 92 had elective cesarean section.

The aims of the present study were to evaluate the features of patients with vulvar diseases in gynecology and dermatology out-patient clinics in Turkey, and to determine the need for a multidisciplinary vulvar clinic in this country.
Methods: A total of 310 patients with vulvar problems as their primary complaints were included in the study.
Lipoprotein(a) levels in women with pre-eclampsia and in normotensive pregnant women.
J Obstet Gynaecol Res
June 2005
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether plasma lipoprotein(a) levels are higher in women with pre-eclampsia compared to healthy pregnant women and how these levels relate to the disease's severity.
- Ninety-one women with pre-eclampsia (split into mild and severe cases) and 40 healthy pregnant women were analyzed for various blood parameters, including lipoprotein(a) and lipid levels.
- The results showed no significant difference in lipoprotein(a) levels among the groups, suggesting it is not a key risk factor for pre-eclampsia, though elevated triglyceride levels might contribute to the condition.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of daily oral and transdermal hormone therapy alone or in combination with alendronate on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.
Design: Comparative prospective clinical study.
Setting: Outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital.
