Association of polycystic ovary syndrome with mammographic density in Turkish women: a population-based case-control study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the breast densities and Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System scores of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and normoovulatory women and to determine whether these patients constitute a high-risk population for breast cancer.

Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted at our institution between January 2022 and December 2022, involving patients diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Menstrual periods, hyperandrogenemic findings, and ultrasound reports of the patients were retrieved from our hospital's database.

Diagnostic accuracy of pre-induction cervical elastography, volume, length, and uterocervical angle for the prediction of successful induction of labor with dinoprostone.

Purpose: The study's aim is to define among a group of ultrasonographic cervical measurements a candidate parameter predictive of successful of induction of labor in term pregnancies with unfavorable cervix.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 141 pregnant women at term with an unfavorable cervix (Bishop score ≤ 6). All patients underwent clinical and ultrasonographic cervical evaluation before dinoprostone induction.

A prospective cohort study: can advanced ultrasonography replace magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of placental adhesion disorders?

Objectives: To define and compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the placental adhesive disorder (PAD).

Methods: A prospective study was conducted between January 2019 and February 2020 in a tertiary referral university hospital. A total of 115 placenta previa cases were included in the study during the third trimester of gestation.

Is the presence of deep infiltrative endometriosis underestimated in the surgical management of endometriosis?

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the presence of deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) in the surgical management of endometriosis.

Material And Methods: Operation notes and histopathological reports of women with endometriosis were retrospectively analyzed in the Ege University Hospital between 2008 and 2018. A total of 191 women with suspicious of endometriosis but without clinical signs of DIE were enrolled in the study.

How does the type of delivery affect pelvic floor structure? MRI parameter-based anatomical study.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of delivery type and birth weight on pelvic floor structure using muscle defects, uterus-vagina angles and landmarks in pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study. Pelvic MR images of 38 vaginal deliveries and 62 cesarean section patients who met the study criteria were analyzed.

Effectiveness of paracervical block in endometrial sampling procedures for pain control: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of paracervical block (PCB) on endometrial sampling procedures, to assess the effect on pain of waiting between PCB and intervention, and to compare the effectiveness of PCB with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) for decreasing the pain levels associated with endometrial biopsy.

Material And Methods: A total of 123 participants were divided into four groups as Group 1: Waiting 1 minute after PCB, Group 2: Waiting 3 minute after PCB, Group 3: Control group, and Group 4: Waiting 60 minute after taking oral NSAIDs. The success of analgesic measures used for endometrial biopsy during and 30 minutes after the procedure was compared with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) system.

Effectiveness of the world's first 1-Day online hands-on laparoscopic suturing training during COVID-19 pandemic.

We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an online laparoscopic suturing training course conducted via an online meeting program. The mean needle loading, stitching, and knot-tying times were 77.3 s, 63.

Laparoscopic view of endosalpingiosis in a woman with dermoid cyst and endometriosis.

Endosalpingiosis is, like endometriosis, the presence of cystic masses outside of the salpinx which contains fallopian tube epithelium. Endosalpingiosis can be seen on the surface of ovaries, tubal serosa, uterine serosa, myometrium, and also in the bladder. The main clinical features of endosalpingiosis are pelvic pain, adnexal mass which mimics cancer, and urinary symptoms.

Perinatal outcomes of renal transplant pregnancies: a 22-year experience at a single tertiary referral center.

Renal transplantation not only prolongs survival but also improves quality of life and fertility, particularly in patients with end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the renal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancy after renal transplantation at a high volume academic tertiary hospital. Fifty-one renal transplant patients (RTPs) who experienced pregnancy after transplantation and received care at Ege University Hospital between January 1995 and December 2017 were retrospectively identified.

Case Report of a Tubo-ovarian Abscess Caused by Candida kefyr.

Background: Candida species are harmless commensals of hosts, including humans, but they can cause infection when the immune system is compromised. Infections with non-albicans species can occur, ranging from urinary tract infections to sepsis, especially among patients in intensive care units.

Case: The patient, a 37-year-old woman, presented with severe abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting.

Determination of Isthmocele Using a Foley Catheter During Laparoscopic Repair of Cesarean Scar Defect.

Study Objective: To demonstrate a new technique of isthmocele repair via laparoscopic surgery.

Design: Case report (Canadian Task Force classification III). The local Ethics Committee waived the requirement for approval.
