Utilizing fab fragment-conjugated surface plasmon resonance-based biosensor for detection of Salmonella Enteritidis.

Although antibodies, a key element of biorecognition, are frequently used as biosensor probes, the use of these large molecules can lead to adverse effects. Fab fragments can be reduced to allow proper antigen-binding orientation via thiol groups containing Fab sites that can directly penetrate Au sites chemically. In this study, the ability of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor to detect Salmonella was studied.

Perinatal outcomes of emergency and elective cervical cerclages.

Objective: This study aims to compare the perinatal outcomes of emergency and elective cervical cerclages.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 247 patients, with a total of 142 emergency (with a history of mid-trimester miscarriage or vaginal delivery of < 34 weeks and cervical length < 25 mm) and 105 electives cerclage patients (with painless cervical dilation and cervical length <25 mm) who had cerclage with the vaginal cervical McDonald technique between 1.1.

A comparison of hyaluronic acid and estradiol treatment in vulvovaginal atrophy.

Objective: This study aims to compare the effects of vaginal estrogen and hyaluronic acid on vulvovaginal atrophy.

Patients And Methods: This randomized controlled study included a total of 300 patients, with 150 patients in each group (Group E and Group H). The VHI score was determined based on a pre-treatment evaluation conducted by a gynecologist.

Arabin-pessary or McDonald Cerclage in Cervical Shortening?

Objective: The aim of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of Arabin pessary and McDonald cervical cerclage on preterm delivery.

Methods:  We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent either Arabin pessary or McDonald cerclage between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2023. A total of 174 patients were included in the study, with 31 undergoing Arabin pessary and 143 receiving cervical cerclage using the McDonald technique in singleton pregnant women with cervical insufficiency, which applied between 14 and 22 gestational weeks.

Retrospective evaluation of outcomes of vaginal birth after caesarean section in a tertiary center: a single-center study from Türkiye.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the trial of labor after caesarean (TOLAC) outcomes and determine its reliability by comparing it with elective repeat caesarean delivery (ERCD) and vaginal delivery.

Material And Methods: For this purpose, the outcomes of patients aged 18-40 years who had 57 TOLACs, 72 vaginal deliveries, and 60 elective caesarean sections in Ankara Koru Hospital between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2022 were compared.

Results: Gestational age was lower in the normal vaginal delivery (NVD) group than in the elective caesarean section and vaginal birth after caesarean delivery (VBAC) groups (p < 0.
