A novel software for method comparison: MCS (method comparison software)-assessing agreement between estimated fetal weights calculated by Hadlock I-V formulas and birth weight.

Introduction: The evaluation of the performance of new methods, expected to provide cheaper and faster results than existing (reference) methods in the health field, is based on comparing the results obtained with this new method to those obtained with the existing method. The primary aim of this study is to examine the correlational and absolute agreement between measurement methods in clinical studies using Bland-Altman analysis and methodological (Ordinary Least Squares, Weighted Ordinary Least Squares, Deming, Weighted Deming, Passing-Bablok, Theil-Sen, and Passing-Bablok for Large Data Sets.) methods, and the secondary aim is to compare the accuracy and precision of Hadlock (I-V) formulas used for fetal weight estimation.

Determination of biomarker candidates for the placenta accreta spectrum by plasma proteomic analysis.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) presents a significant obstetric challenge, associated with considerable maternal and fetal-neonatal morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, it is imperative to acknowledge that a noteworthy subset of PAS cases remains undetected until the time of delivery, thereby contributing to an augmented incidence of morbidity among the affected individuals. The delayed identification of PAS not only hinders timely intervention but also exacerbates the associated health risks for both the maternal and fetal outcomes.

Is hepatitis-B immunization effective during chronic liver fibrosis? Investigation of secretory and cellular immune responses on an experimental model.

Objective: Adults with end-stage of chronic liver diseases have lower antibody titers after hepatitis-B vaccination. We have less amount of knowledge about the effect of non-viral cause chronic liver fibrosis on vaccination. In this study, we investigated the effect of non-viral chronic liver fibrosis on hepatitis B vaccine and the effect of tetanous toxoid co-administration at the level of humoral and cellular immune responses in an experimental model.

Comparison of Two Pancreatic Anastomosis Techniques in terms of Postoperative Complications After Pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective: In this retrospective study, we compared the postoperative complications by using both the Clavien-Dindo classification and the Revised 2016 International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) classification methods after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Materials And Methods: The data of patients were retrospectively reviewed. Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) were performed on 41 and 40 patients, respectively.

Is there a Relationship between Serum IGF-1 and Thyroid Nodule, Thyroid or Ovarian Volume in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?

Context: Studies investigating the association between serum IGF-1, and thyroid nodule, ovarian or thyroid volume in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are limited.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the association between serum IGF-1 level, and ovarian or thyroid volume, or thyroid nodule in PCOS.

Design: The study was performed between June 2017 and August 2019 as prospective design.
