The predictive value of hemogram parameters for early preterm delivery in pregnant women undergoing cervical cerclage.

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.

The impact of audiovisual information on parental anxiety levels prior to hypospadias surgery: A prospective single center cohort study.

Background: Most parents have anxiety before a pediatric surgical procedure. Parental anxiety may impair the parents' ability to cope with new or stressful situations while their children are undergoing surgery. By effectively improving the education of parents regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and potential complications of hypospadias and surgical repair, it might be feasible to reduce their anxiety during this process.

The association between the degree of cervical dilatation before ultrasound and physical examination indicated cerclage and subsequent neonatal outcomes.

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.

Simple and inexpensive microwave setup for industrial based applications: Quantification of flower honey adulteration as a case study.

A simple and inexpensive microwave measurement setup based on measurements of magnitudes of transmission properties ( ) is proposed for industrial-based microwave aquametry (moisture or water content) applications. An easy-to-apply calibration procedure based on normalization is implemented to eliminate systematic errors in the measurement system. As a case study, we applied this setup for the quantification of water-adulteration in flower honey.

Low molecular weight heparin treatment reduced apoptosis and oxidative cytotoxicity in the thrombocytes of patients with recurrent pregnancy loss and thrombophilia: Involvements of TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels.

Aim: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is known to be associated with increased thrombophilia and oxidative toxicity. 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.

Perioperative adverse events and functional outcomes following open and robot-assisted prostatectomy in patients over age 70.

Aim: To evaluate the safety (perioperative adverse events) of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and functional outcomes (continence and erectile dysfunction) of open and robotic radical prostatectomy in elderly patients.

Methods: The data of patients (≥70 years old) who underwent open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORRP) and RARP within the period from November 2014 to February 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. The perioperative adverse events and the functional outcomes of both surgical approaches were evaluated.

Individual-risk-score for urinary tract malignancy in patients with microscopic hematuria.

Aim: To determine the patients who can be safely exempted from undergoing unnecessary diagnostic procedures for microscopic hematuria (MH) evaluation by using the developed individual-risk-scoring system.

Materials And Methods: The patients who underwent a complete urological evaluation for MH were identified retrospectively. The risk factors for urinary malignancy which defined in the 2020 American Urological Association/Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction guidelines were recorded for each patient.

Evaluation of Anterior Segment Parameters During Pregnancy.

Purpose: To evaluate the anterior segment changes of eye during pregnancy according to the trimesters and compare them with non-pregnant subjects.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 90 pregnant women (1.trimester: 30, 2.

The number and activity of CD3TCR Vα7.2CD161 cells are increased in children with acute rheumatic fever.

Background: Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is an autoimmune disease caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococci (GAS) and may develop into rheumatic heart disease (RHD). The pathogenesis of ARF and RHD involves molecular mimicry and antibody-mediated mechanisms. T cell involvement is described in various stages of the disease.

Conventional 22- and 20-gauge needle for second trimester amniocentesis: A comparison of short term outcomes.

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.

Utero-cutaneous Fistula after Multiple Abdominal Myomectomies: A Case Report.

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.

Long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and Wi-Fi devices decreases plasma prolactin, progesterone, and estrogen levels but increases uterine oxidative stress in pregnant rats and their offspring.

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.

Liver antioxidant stores protect the brain from electromagnetic radiation (900 and 1800 MHz)-induced oxidative stress in rats during pregnancy and the development of offspring.

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.

Recent reports of Wi-Fi and mobile phone-induced radiation on oxidative stress and reproductive signaling pathways in females and males.

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.
