We compared Pfannenstiel and midline skin incisions for cesarean hysterectomy in women with confirmed Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of Pfannenstiel and midline skin incisions in women undergoing cesarean section hysterectomy for suspected placenta accreta at Akdeniz University Hospital between January 2010 and February 2022. Histopathological confirmation was obtained for all cases.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of myoinositol combined with folic acid against metformin, and their combination in treating insulin-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women.
- Researchers analyzed data from 68 PCOS patients over three months, measuring various hormone levels and conducting oral glucose tolerance tests before and after treatment.
- Results showed significant improvements in menstrual regularity and hormone levels for all groups, but no additional benefits were found when combining myoinositol and metformin compared to using them individually.
Aim: To develop a model that predicts low progesterone (P) levels on the day of embryo transfer (ET) based on patient and cycle characteristics, including serum estradiol (E ) concentration after vaginal administration of micronized E for endometrial preparation.
Methods: A prospective cohort of 193 patients scheduled for cryopreserved blastocyst transfer during an artificial endometrial preparation cycle, using micronized E vaginally for first 4 days (4 mg/day), followed by oral administration (6 mg/day). Blood sampling for E was performed prospectively on day-5 of vaginal administration and analysis was performed retrospectively.
Research Question: Does endometrial compaction, determined by both transvaginal (TVUS) and abdominal ultrasonography (AUS), improve reproductive outcomes in vitrified-warmed embryo transfer (FET) cycles, and is there a correlation between compaction and serum progesterone concentrations on day of embryo transfer?
Design: Prospective observational cohort study at a single tertiary care IVF centre including 204 patients undergoing high-quality vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer in a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle. The change in endometrial thickness (EMT) between end of oestrogen-only phase and day of embryo transfer, as measured by sequential TVUS, was used to categorize endometrium as undergoing compaction (≥5% decrease), no change, or expansion (≥5% increase). EMT was also examined using AUS at the time of embryo transfer.
Purpose: This retrospective cohort study determined the relative efficacy of blastocyst and cleavage-stage transfers in patients with differing numbers of zygotes.
Methods: A total of 1116 women whose embryo transfers were planned independently of patient characteristics were included. Cleavage-stage (D3) and blastocyst-stage (D5) transfer outcomes were analyzed per number of zygotes.
