The effect of carvacrol on the proinflammatory cytokines, histology, and fertility outcome of cisplatin-related ovarian change in a rat model.

Objective: In women, agents used in chemotherapy treatment have side effects such as accelerating follicular depletion and early menopause. Thus, cytotoxic treatments may cause various effects ranging from partial damage to the ovary to premature ovarian failure (POI) and infertility. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of carvacrol on cisplatin (CIS)-induced reproductive toxicity in female rats.

Novel marker to predict rupture risk in tubal ectopic pregnancies: the systemic immune-inflammation index.

Objectives: Ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition; delaying treatment can result in mortality or serious complications. Identification of a biomarker that can predict tubal rupture may be helpful for guiding treatment. In this study, we evaluated the association between serum β-hCG, biochemical markers, Systemic Immunity-inflammation Index (SII) score, and the trophoblastic invasion stage.

Does being infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the first-trimester increase the risk of miscarriage?

Aim of this study is to investigate whether the risk of miscarriage increases in pregnant women who had COVID-19 in first trimester. Our study included 52 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection detected by RT-PCR and 53 patients with negative RT-PCR test in samples taken with nasopharyngeal swab in the first trimester between March 1 and December 31, 2020. Complete abortion, incomplete abortion, blighted ovum, intrauterine exitus, biochemical pregnancies were accepted as in the miscarriage group (MG).

Are the body shape index, the body roundness index and waist-to-hip ratio better than BMI to predict recurrent pregnancy loss?

Purpose: Etiology could not be determined in approximately 50% of recurrent pregnancy loss cases, and it was named unexpected recurrent pregnancy loss(URPL). A body shape index(ABSI), body roundness index(BRI), and waist-to-hip ratio(WtHR) are new indexes that are superior to BMI in showing body fat distribution. We aimed to investigate the potency of ABSI, BRI, and WtHR in URPL, their superiority to BMI, and their suitability for clinical use.

Scar endometriosis: a case report of this uncommon entity and review of the literature.

Scar endometriosis is an infrequent type of extrapelvic endometriosis that is rather close together with obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. It is mostly confused with other dermatological or surgical conditions and delays the diagnosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman presenting with scar endometriosis 23 years after her last lower segment caesarean section.
