Labiaplasty Revision Surgery with Using Clitoral Hood Flap: A Case-Cohort Study.

Background: The demand for labia minora reduction surgery has increased due to aesthetic preferences and discomfort caused by labial hypertrophy. This study aims to share experiences with labial reconstruction using clitoral hood flaps in patients who underwent aggressive trim labiaplasty.

Methods: Twenty-eight patients who had previously undergone only labiaplasty surgery were included in this study.

Etiology and perinatal outcomes between early and late-onset nonimmune hydrops fetalis.

Objective: We aimed to compare the etiology and perinatal outcomes of non-immune hydrops fetalis diagnosed early- and late-onset at our hospital.

Methods: The records of the patients who applied to our department were reviewed, and we reached 42 non-immune hydrops fetalis cases retrospectively and examined the medical records. Hydrops diagnosis week, birth week, accompanying anomalies, and perinatal outcomes were compared as ≤12 weeks (early-onset) and >12 weeks (late-onset).

The effect of antiangiogenic agent aflibercept on surgically induced endometriosis in a rat model.

Objective: The aim of the study is to show for the first time how aflibercept affects endometriosis lesions.

Material And Methods: Surgically induced endometriosis in Wistar albino female rats. Rats with endometriosis were randomly divided into three groups: control (Co), aflibercept (Af), and leuprolide acetate (Le).

Does dietary total antioxidant capacity relate to oxidative stress levels in water immersion during labor? A case-control study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of water immersion during the first stage of labor on maternal and neonatal oxidative stress and the association between serum and dietary total antioxidant capacity.

Methods: Women were divided into two groups: those immersed in water during the first stage of labor (n=30) and those who had conventional birth (n=33). Total oxidative stress and total antioxidant status levels were examined in antepartum and postpartum maternal serum and neonatal cord blood samples.

Role of Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index to Predict Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy.

Background: The goal was to investigate the change of systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in high-risk pregnant women diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).

Methods: Between May 2018 and April 2020, we retrospectively enrolled 218 pregnant women who were followed in our hospital from the first trimester to delivery. We looked at the sociodemographics, laboratory data, SII values, Apgar ratings, and newborn birth weights of pregnant women with ICP.

The role of inflammation in cases with gestational diabetes mellitus: Systemic immune inflammatory index according to trimesters.

Problem: This study aims to investigate the role of the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) in inflammation by analyzing SII values by trimester in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Method Of Study: Between May 2019 and June 2020, we retrospectively enrolled 467 pregnant women who were followed from the first trimester to delivery in our hospital. We evaluated the sociodemographic characteristics, laboratory test results, SII values, Apgar scores, and newborn birth weights of pregnant women diagnosed with GDM.

The role of first trimester serum inflammatory indexes (NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and PIV) and the β-hCG to PAPP-A ratio in predicting preeclampsia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of inflammation parameters and indices measured in the first trimester for the detection of preeclampsia.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we examined the medical records of 276 eligible pregnancies at a tertiary referral center from 2022 to 2023. The cases were categorized into the Control group (n = 171), the Mild Preeclampsia group (n = 63), and the Severe Preeclampsia group (n = 42).

Aflibercept suppresses ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: an experimental study in rats.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of the antiangiogenic medications, namely, aflibercept and cabergoline in the prevention and treatment of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a rat model.

Methods: A total of 36 female Wistar rats were randomly allocated to one of the five groups, including disease-free and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome controls: Group no OHSS (control, n=6) received saline only intraperitoneally (i.p.

Cor Triatriatum Sinister Associated with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection.

Cor triatriatum sinister is rare congenital heart disease. It is defined as the presence of an abnormal septum dividing the left atrium into two chambers, and in some cases may be associated with a total abnormal pulmonary venous connection. Prenatal diagnosis of cor triatriatum sinister may be possible with fetal echocardiography and the diagnosis can be made earlier than postnatal imaging techniques.

Effect of intrauterine ozone therapy on Asherman syndrome, an experimental rat model.

Background/aims: Evaluate the effect of ozone therapy alone or in combination with estradiol in management of Asherman syndrome in a rat model.

Materials And Methods: 48 rats were used and divided into eight groups. In all the groups right uterine horn was used for the experiment while the left horns received no action.

Step-By-Step Segmental Analysis of the Fetal Heart with an Uncommon Situs Anomaly.

Congenital heart diseases are the most common congenital anomalies during the fetal period. The diagnosis of complex congenital heart diseases in the fetal period is not always easy. While evaluating cardiac abnormalities, performing segmental analysis and step-by-step evaluation will facilitate the diagnosis of prenatal cardiac diseases.

Assessment of thiol/disulfide and ischemia modified albumin level and oxidative stress in pregnancies complicated by meconium.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate antioxidant balance in pregnant women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid.

Methods: Forty pregnant women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid and 40 pregnant women with non-meconium-stained amniotic fluid were included in the study. By checking the ischemia modified albumin (IMA) level and thiol/disulfide homeostasis in the maternal blood during labor and in newborn umbilical cord blood at the first minute after birth, antioxidant/oxidant balance was evaluated.

Gitelman Syndrome in Pregnancy: A Clinical Challenge.

Purpose: Disease progress may be affected by pregnancy-related changes, and underlying conditions may also affekt pregnancy outcomes in women with Gitelman syndrome (GS). Case presentation A 35-year-old woman with GS (gravida 2 para 1) was referred to our hospital to start routine antenatal care follow-up at 6 weeks of gestation. At the age of 31, she had been diagnosed with GS after her first uneventful pregnancy.

First-trimester aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index in predicting intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy and its relationship with bile acids: A pilot study.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of the first-trimester aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/platelet count ratio [AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) score] for intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy (ICP).

Methods: This study consisted of a patient group diagnosed with ICP (n = 37) and a control group (n = 66) who presented to the hospital perinatology clinic between 2018 and 2020. Laboratory tests of both groups were analysed retrospectively.

Prediction of maternal near-miss in placenta previa: a retrospective analysis from a tertiary center in Ankara, Turkey.

Aim: To determine risk factors for severe complications during and after cesarean delivery (CD) in placenta previa (PP).

Methods: We reviewed retrospectively collected data from women with PP who underwent CD during a 6-year study period. We identified the complicated group based on the modified WHO near-miss criteria.
