The effects of menopausal uterine fibroids on the prognosis of endometrium cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate any potential associations between uterine leiomyomas and endometrial cancer.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 153 female patients who have been operated because of endometrial carcinoma in our hospital between 2012 and 2017. Data were collected from hospital records.

The impact of different 75 g oral glucose tolerance test target ranges within normal limits on neonatal outcomes: A validation study.

Objective: To investigate the impact of different 75 g glucose tolerance test (OGTT) target ranges within normal limits on neonatal outcomes, thus to investigate the validity of 75 g OGTT thresholds.

Materials And Methods: The normal 1-hour and 2-hour ranges of 75 g OGTT levels of 110 pregnant women with no gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were further divided into three different sub-groups; for the 1 hour as group 1 (<120 mg/dL), group 2 (120-140 mg/dL), group 3 (>140 mg/dL) and for the 2 hour as group 1 (<120 mg/dL), group 2 (120-135 mg/dL), and group 3 (>135 mg/dL).

Results: For the 1-hour results, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of age, body mass index, multiparity, neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal intensive care unit admission, birth weight, and LGT rates; however, the rate of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants was significantly higher in group 2 compared with those in group 3.

Comparing the effects of intrauterine progestin system and oral progestin on health-related quality of life and Kupperman index in hormone replacement therapy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of intrauterine-system-releasing 20 µg daily of levonorgestrel (LNG IUS) plus 1 mg 17 beta-estradiol daily, orally with combined oral pill containing 1 mg 17 beta-estradiol/2 mg drospirenone daily as hormone replacement therapy, on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and climacteric symptoms in postmenopausal women.

Materials And Methods: A 6-month prospective clinical trial was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. Ninety postmenopausal women were accepted to be part of the study.

Glucose tolerance of premenopausal women after menopause due to surgical removal of ovaries.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the abrupt withdrawal of ovarian function on glucose tolerance by studying premenopausal women before and after oophorectomy.

Methods: Thirty premenopausal women who needed hysterectomy for benign reasons volunteered for the study in our hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed before surgery and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Diagnosis of vulvovaginitis: comparison of clinical and microbiological diagnosis.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the current diagnostic clinical and laboratory approaches to women with vulvovaginal discharge complaint. The secondary outcomes were to determine the prevalence of infections in our setting and to look for the relation between vulvovaginal infections and predisposing factors if present.

Method: Premenopausal women applying to our gynecology outpatient clinic with vaginal discharge complaint were enrolled prospectively into the study.

Psychological factors of hyperemesis gravidarum by using the SCL-90-R questionnaire.

Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum is known as a complex disease with interaction of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors. Our study was an attempt to understand the psychological effects on hyperemesis gravidarum by using an objective scale.

Methods: Thirty-four pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum who were hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Dr.

Imperforate hymen: a new benign reason for highly elevated serum CA 19.9 and CA 125 levels.

Imperforate hymen is a urogenital tract anomaly that represents the most frequent congenital malformation of the female genital tract. CA 19-9 and CA 125 are widely used as tumor markers, however several benign conditions are also known to increase serum CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels. According to classical textbook knowledge, imperforate hymen is not listed under the benign conditions that increase serum CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels.

Is it necessary to do retroperitoneal evaluation in borderline epithelial ovarian tumors?

Objective: Borderline epithelial ovarian tumors have good prognosis without any adjuvant therapy. The advantage of aggressive surgical staging, especially retroperitoneal lymph node sampling is questionable in patients with borderline ovarian tumors. We designed this study to evaluate the necessity of retroperitoneal pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection in the treatment of borderline epithelial ovarian tumors.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma with retroperitoneal metastases: an unusual case report.

Background: Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is an uncommon malign neoplasm, and its occurrence outside the uterus is extremely rare in the absence of metastasis or extension of a primary uterine neoplasm. When arising in the pelvis or abdominal cavity, ESS is associated with uterine adnexa or serosal surface of various organs.

Case: We present the case of a 46-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain and regular menstruation who underwent laparotomy after a diagnosis of pelvic mass mimicking a right adnexial tumor.

The effect of estradiol valerate and dienogest combination on serum homocysteine levels in postmenopausal women: a clinical trial.

Several studies have verified that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has protective effects on postmenopausal women's cardiovascular condition. However, highly significant recent studies have reported that women treated with HRT have more cardiovascular events than untreated women. An elevated homocysteine level is one important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
