Evaluation of maternal serum SERPINC1, E-selectin, P-selectin, RBP4 and PP13 levels in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether Serpin clade C (SERPINC1), E-selectin, P-selectin, Placental protein 13 (PP13), and Retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) levels in maternal serum were associated with the presence of preeclampsia and to compare them with uncomplicated pregnancies.

Methods: This prospective study included 40 women with preeclampsia and 40 healthy pregnant women. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit was used to measure serum SERPINC1, E-selectin, P-selectin, PP13, and RBP4 levels.

Assessment of maternal serum SERPINC1, E-selectin, P-selectin, and RBP4 levels in pregnancies with early- and late-onset preeclampsia.

Introduction: To investigate whether the SERPINC1, E-selectin, P-selectin, and RBP4 levels in first trimester maternal serum was associated with the presence of preeclampsia (PE).

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 26 women with early-onset preeclampsia (EO-PE), 27 women with late-onset preeclampsia (LO-PE), and 27 women with uncomplicated pregnancies. Levels of serum SERPINC1, E-selectin, P-selectin, and RBP4 were measured with the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.

Pseudo-pseudo Meig's syndrome presenting as an acute surgical abdomen: A rare entity and review of the literature.

Aim: Pseudo-pseudo Meigs' syndrome is a rare entity of systemic lupus erythematosus, which is defined with the combination of pleural effusion, elevated serum CA-125 levels, and ascites. It has similar clinical aspects with gynecological malignancies which may lead gynecologists to perform unnecessary surgeries and lab workouts. This review seeks to point out the importance of diagnosing pseudo-pseudo Meig's syndrome (PPMS) and endeavors to inform gynecologists about the differential diagnoses.

HPV Infection, HPV Vaccines and Cervical Cancer Awareness: A Multi-Centric Survey Study in Istanbul, Turkey.

Our purpose was to examine the level of knowledge and awareness about HPV (Human papillomavirus) infection, HPV vaccines, and cervical cancer of participants. This study was conducted at students and healthcare workers of Uskudar University as well as the healthcare workers of Umraniye Training and Research Hospital and patients admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinics. A 41-question survey was conducted that investigated the 700 participants' demographic characteristics, HPV infection and cervical cancer status, and attitudes toward vaccination.

Investigation of awareness and anxiety levels of pregnant women during pandemic process.

Objectives: It is currently unknown that how pregnant women deal with the Coronavirus disease and its results. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychological impact of the coronavirus pandemic on pregnant women and to determine whether pregnant women have sufficient knowledge and awareness for a healthy antenatal process.

Material And Methods: This study was conducted at two centers.

Investigation of fetal cardiac function using tissue doppler imaging in fetuses compromised by growth restriction.

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate fetal cardiac systolic and diastolic function using the tissue Doppler technique in pregnancies with complications of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to examine the relationship between FGR with umbilical artery Doppler parameters and fetal cardiac function in complicated pregnancies.

Material And Methods: This study included 30 pregnant women with FGR complications and 46 pregnant women without FGR complications. Both groups were at 24-34 gestational weeks.

COVID-19 in third trimester may not be as scary as you think, it can be innocent: Evaluating vertical transmission from a COVID-19 positive asymptomatic pregnant woman with early membrane rupture.

In the literature, many cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) positive pregnancies have been observed, mostly with mild findings, but there is limited evidence about perinatal transition and early COVID-19 positive newborns. In this case, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results were studied from samples obtained from the placenta, amniotic fluid, cord blood and postoperative breast milk - that were obtained while avoiding contamination and preserved appropriately - of a cesarean section performed under anesthesia on a woman with previous cesarean section and gestational diabetes mellitus history. This patient who presented to our emergency gynecology clinic with membrane rupture was infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 two weeks before delivery but was not treated as the disease was asymptomatic.
