Article Synopsis
  • - This study explored the levels of N-terminal proBrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in fetuses delivered via cesarean section due to fetal distress, comparing two groups of pregnant women.
  • - The research involved 140 women, with one group having elective cesarean sections and the other having emergency cesarean sections because of fetal distress, recording data on various health metrics.
  • - Results indicated significant differences in NT-proBNP levels and other health indicators between the two groups, suggesting that NT-proBNP could be an important marker for identifying fetal distress, but further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study explores using serum kallistatin as a potential biomarker for diagnosing tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA), suggesting that the commonly used C-reactive protein (CRP) lacks specificity.
  • - The research involved 60 patients (30 controls undergoing elective surgery and 30 hospitalized with TOA) at Antalya Training and Research Hospital in Türkiye, with various health parameters analyzed through blood samples.
  • - Significant differences in multiple blood markers, including serum kallistatin levels, were found between the TOA group and controls, indicating that kallistatin could effectively aid in TOA diagnosis, although larger studies are needed for validation.

Objectives: The objective of study is to describe a new surgical approach to cesarean delivery in women with invasive placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) accompanied by placenta previa.

Material And Methods: Cesarean delivery was initiated with a transverse abdominal (Pfannenstiel) incision. A transverse incision was made above the vascular area in the lower uterine segment, and the fetus was delivered.

Objective: To perform an emergency hysterectomy by ligation of the uterine arteries before bladder dissection in a patient with placenta accreta spectrum disorder who developed excessive hemorrhage after abortion.

Case Report: A patient with four previous cesarean deliveries presented with pelvic pain and excessive vaginal bleeding following a fetal abortion. The patient's hemodynamic status worsened.

Although the in vitro fertilization-intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) has been utilized widely, the management in patients with an autoimmune disease is still a challenge. The aim of this study was to demonstrate IVF-ICSI outcomes in infertile women with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Patient data were collected from the cases registered from January 2006 until January 2014.

We demonstrated the IVF-ICSI results, perinatal outcomes and cost-effectivity of the patients with advanced age at a tertiary centre. A total of 456 patients categorised into two groups according to age: group 1 (n = 158) (≥39years) and group 2 (n = 298) (<39years) were analysed retrospectively. In addition, subgroup analysis was performed according to the 40 years cut-off.

A midgut volvulus rarely occurs in a fetus; however, when it does, it requires an immediate diagnosis and surgery. Thirty-week pregnant was referred to our clinic with a diagnosis of a fetal abdominal cystic mass and preterm labor. The initial ultrasound examination revealed a female fetus with a 55 × 50 mm cystic mass in the lower abdomen, which was preliminarily diagnosed as an ovarian cyst.

Objective: To determine the clinical significance of serum follistatin levels in women with an ovarian endometrioma.

Materials And Methods: This is a prospective study of 89 women, 56 with an ovarian endometrioma (endometrioma group) and 33 with a benign ovarian cyst (control group) who underwent laparoscopic excision. Age, parity, body mass index, serum CA-125, serum CA 19-9, and serum follistatin levels were determined for all participants and evaluated as potential prognostic factors prior to laparoscopic cystectomy.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the bacterial profile and the adequacy of antimicrobial treatment in pregnant women with urinary tract infection.

Material And Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted with 753 pregnant women who needed hospitalization because of UTI in each of the three trimesters. Midstream urine culture and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were evaluated.

Background: To investigate the relationship between adiponectin, metabolic and hor- monal parameters, and insulin resistance in patients with non-treated polycystic ovary syndrome.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, 81 patients admitted to out-patient clinic with complaints of menstrual irregularity, hirsutism and obesity were enrolled. Serum adiponectin, biochemical and hormonal parameters, and 75 gram oral glu- cose tolerance test (OGTT) were measured.

Objective: Adhesion formation frequently occurs after abdominopelvic surgery and can cause significant morbidity for patients. Meticulous hemostasis, minimal access surgery and utilization of surgical adjuvants intraoperatively are clinically useful measures to minimize adhesion formation. We investigated the clinical efficiency of oral Ricinus oil treatment for 8 days postoperatively to decrease adhesion formation in this case-control study in a rat model.

Article Synopsis
  • Serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOT) are more common in young women and usually have a good prognosis, but some rare subtypes can be more aggressive.
  • The micropapillary variant (SBOT-MP) is less common and typically presents at more advanced stages, as seen in a case involving a 66-year-old woman with extensive tumor spread.
  • The text also covers the recommended treatment options for managing these rare and aggressive cases.
