How Abdominal Irrigation During Cesarean Delivery Affects Gastrointestinal Functions and Short-term Maternal Morbidities: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of intraabdominal irrigation with saline on postoperative gastrointestinal functions and short-term complications in patients who underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Methods: This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted between March 2022 and May 2022 and included 60 patients who underwent elective cesarean. The participants were randomized into two groups: abdominal irrigation (n=30) and control group (n=30).

The effect of 75-g oral glucose tolerance test on maternal and foetal Doppler parameters in healthy pregnancies: a cross-sectional observational study.

Hyperglycaemia can alter placental resistance to blood flow and hyperglycaemia has adverse perinatal outcomes. Oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) increases the maternal plasma glucose levels temporarily and mimics metabolic hyperglycaemia. The blood flow of the uterine artery (UtA), umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) were assessed before, 1 and 2 h following the OGTT by using Doppler ultrasonography.

How does subchorionic hematoma in the first trimester affect pregnancy outcomes?

Introduction: Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) in pregnancy has been associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to investigate the association of SCH with adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women in relation to size of hematoma and control subjects.

Material And Methods: This study included 178 pregnant women with sono-graphically detected SCH in the 1 trimester, and 350 pregnant controls without SCH.

Anxiety and depression symptoms in the same pregnant women before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives With clinical experience from previous coronavirus infections, public health measures and fear of infection may have negative psychological effects on pregnant women. This study aimed to compare the level of anxiety and depression in the same pregnant women before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The pregnant women continuing pregnancy who participated in the first study which was undertaken to clarify the factors associated with mental health of pregnant women before the COVID-19 pandemic, were included for the current study during the outbreak.

Outcome of Cesarean Myomectomy: Is it a Safe Procedure?

Objective: Myomectomy performed during cesarean section is still controversial because of the potential for associated complications, especially with large myomas. Many obstetricians avoid performing cesarean myomectomy procedures because of the risk of uncontrollable hemorrhage. However, the prevalence of pregnant women with myomas is increasing, leading to an increase in the likelihood that physicians will encounter this issue.
