Is temporary clamping of the bilateral common iliac artery beneficial in reducing intraoperative blood loss in patients with segmental resected anterior placenta percreta?: A prospective observational study.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate whether temporary clamping of the bilateral common iliac artery (BCIA) has a role in reducing intraoperative blood loss in patients with segmentally resected anterior placenta percreta or not.

Methods: This prospective observational study included patients with anterior placenta percreta who underwent cesarean segmental resection either with BCIA temporary clamping or without clamping between October 2022 and September 2023.

Results: A comparison of demographic, obstetric, and surgical parameters and the need for transfusion (except for postoperative erythrocyte suspension transfusion) between the two groups revealed no significant difference (P > 0.

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure and Marker-Trait Association for 100-Seed Weight in International Safflower Panel Using SilicoDArT Marker Information.

Safflower is an important oilseed crop mainly grown in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The aim of this study was to explore phenotypic and genetic diversity, population structure, and marker-trait association for 100-seed weight in 94 safflower accessions originating from 26 countries using silicoDArT markers. Analysis of variance revealed statistically significant genotypic effects ( < 0.

The evaluation of diastolic function and myocardial performance index during pregnancy: A tissue Doppler echocardiography study.

Background: The pregnancy process is characterized by several changes in the cardiovascular system, especially in left ventricle (LV) systolic and diastolic function. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a useful tool to evaluate global LV function. This study investigated changes in LV functions using TDI in third-trimester pregnant women.

Acupuncture Enhances Chances of Pregnancy in Unexplained Infertile Patients Who Undergo A Blastocyst Transfer in A Fresh-Cycle.

Objective: To analyze the effects of acupuncture on in vitro fertilization patients with unexplained infertility.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the charts of a total of 302 cycles performed in 273 patients attending Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Centre from August 2013 to August 2016. During the study period, embryo transfer with acupuncture (Acupuncture group, 46 cases) and without acupuncture (Control group, 42 cases) were applied.

Assessment of Clinical and Echocardiographic Findings of Pregnant Women with Dyspnea.

BACKGROUND In the present study we evaluated clinical and echocardiography findings of pregnant women with dyspnea. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pregnant women with and without dyspnea and admitted to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of a tertiary hospital between December 2017 and June 2018 were enrolled in this case-control study. All patients underwent echocardiography in the third trimester (≥27 weeks).
