Objective: This study aims to investigate the predictive value of hemogram parameters in early preterm delivery (32 gestational weeks and below) among pregnant women who have undergone cervical cerclage, based on cervical changes determined before the cerclage procedure.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, a total of 161 patients underwent cervical cerclage. The participants were divided into three groups.
Introduction: Preterm identification of cervical dilation in pregnant women leads to the application of emergency cervical cerclage with an expectation of achieving term delivery. However, this is not always feasible. Short- and long-term neonatal complications post-preterm birth pose a significant challenge.

However, the mechanism of thrombophilia apoptosis and oxidative toxicity is still unclear. In addition, the treatment of heparin induced regulator roles on intracellular free Ca ([Ca ] ) and cytosolic reactive oxygen species (cytROS) concentrations in several diseases.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 90 pregnant women (1.trimester: 30, 2.
Objective: To compare the short-term outcomes of two different-sized needles for genetic amniocentesis.
Materials And Methods: A total of 271 amniocentesis were retrospectively evaluated in 2 groups concerning the size of the needles used during the procedure: Conventional 20-gauge (G) (n=164) and 22G (n=107). Periprocedural complications and cost-effectiveness were compared across the groups.
Background: Utero-cutaneous fistula (UCF) is an extremely rare entity and only a few case reports have been published. Most UCFs develop secondary to post-partum or postoperative complications.
Case Report: A 42 year-old woman began to complain from bleeding and malodorous discharge through her abdominal incision scar.
Unlabelled: We investigated the effects of mobile phone (900 and 1800 MHz)- and Wi-Fi (2450 MHz)-induced electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure on uterine oxidative stress and plasma hormone levels in pregnant rats and their offspring. Thirty-two rats and their forty newborn offspring were divided into the following four groups according to the type of EMR exposure they were subjected to: the control, 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz groups. Each experimental group was exposed to EMR for 60 min/day during the pregnancy and growth periods.

Methods: Ante- and postnatal data on subsequent EC procedures performed between 14 and 28 weeks of gestation for advanced cervical dilatation with prolapsing of amniotic membranes at a single institution within a 5-year-period were retrieved.
Results: We identified 21 fetuses from 18 pregnancies.
Objectives: The present study determined the effects of mobile phone (900 and 1800 MHz)-induced electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure on oxidative stress in the brain and liver as well as the element levels in growing rats from pregnancy to 6 weeks of age.
Methods: Thirty-two rats and their offspring were equally divided into three different groups: the control, 900 MHz, and 1800 MHz groups. The 900 MHz and 1800 MHz groups were exposed to EMR for 60 min/d during pregnancy and neonatal development.
Environmental exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has been increasing with the increasing demand for communication devices. The aim of the study was to discuss the mechanisms and risk factors of EMR changes on reproductive functions and membrane oxidative biology in females and males. It was reported that even chronic exposure to EMR did not increase the risk of reproductive functions such as increased levels of neoantigens abort.

Thirty-two rats and their 96 newborn offspring were equally divided into four different groups, namely, control, 2.
