Relationship between hypertensive disease stages of pregnancy and plateletcrit values: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between plateletcrit (PCT) and stages of hypertensive disease of pregnancy by comparing values in groups with healthy pregnancies, gestational hypertension [GHT], preeclampsia with proteinuria [PE + P] and severe preeclampsia with proteinuria [sPE + P]. The secondary aim was to investigate how proteinuria affects PCT values in these patients.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study.

What are the advantages of clock position method to determine fetal heart axis for inexperienced resident physicians? A comparative study.

Objective: Residency training programs are challenging for young physicians with heavy workloads. Although ultrasonography (USG) is an imaging method that is frequently used in obstetrics practice, some basic USG skills can be acquired late in this intensive learning process. Likewise determining the fetal heart axis is an elementary evaluation but can turn into a challenging and time-consuming process, especially for inexperienced clinicians.

Treatment methods for vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy.

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the three most common vaginal infections of women. Our goal is to check which treatment method (vaginal or vaginal combined with oral) is more effective for each trimester to treat VVC.

Materials And Method: A retrospective analysis was performed and vaginal culture results after treatment of 61 pregnant women who were treated with vaginal or vaginal plus oral antifungals, were collected.

Aspirin, low molecular weight heparin, or both in preventing pregnancy complications in women with recurrent pregnancy loss and factor V Leiden mutation.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), LMWH plus low dose aspirin, or low dose aspirin only on pregnancy outcomes in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) patients with factor V Leiden mutation (FVLM). A total of 2764 RPL patients were evaluated in for the etiology of RPL. Mutations in factor V Leiden homozygous and heterozygous were determined.

External iliac artery thrombosis after hypogastric artery ligation and pelvic packing for placenta previa percreta.

Placenta previa percreta is a serious pregnancy condition that may cause massive bleeding. Life-threatening hemorrhage is commonly managed via cesarean hysterectomy or vascular ligations in order to preserve fertility. We present a case of bilateral external iliac artery thrombosis after pelvic compression and uterine devascularization due to placenta previa percreta.
