Investigation of serum trimethylamine-N-oxide levels in missed abortion: A prospective study.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between missed abortion and serum trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels.

Methods: A total of 129 patients with 56 missed abortions and 73 healthy pregnancies were included in our study. Patients who had more than one pregnancy loss, had systemic disease (hypertension, diabetes, rheumatologic disease, hematologic disease, and so forth) and did not accept to participate in the study were excluded.

Breast cancer risk coordinators: Artificial intelligence-based density measurement and Mullerian-inhibiting substance.

Background: Due to its increasing prevalence, breast cancer has become a serious public health problem. In addition to the models used to identify individuals at risk, the search for fast and accurate tools has continued for years.

Aims: In our study, we aimed to examine the correlation of mammographic density measurement and serum Mullerian-inhibiting substance (MIS) levels with an effective model such as Gail.

Another Etiological Factor of Meibomian Gland Loss in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Inflammation.

The purpose of this prospective study was to compare the tear film pattern, meibomian gland (MG) losses in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healthy individuals in the control group, and to examine the correlation between peripheral blood values and findings in patients with PCOS. Eighty-one eyes of 81 patients with PCOS and 78 eyes of 78 healthy individuals were included in this study. Mean noninvasive first tear film break-up time (NIF-BUT) values and the mean noninvasive average tear film break-up time (NIAvg-BUT) values of all breaking-up occurring in the test were compared.

Tear film impairment and meibomian gland loss in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective: The aim of this prospective study is to comparatively assess the tear film, meibomian gland (MG), cornea and anterior chamber parameters and also subjective ocular complaints in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healthy control subjects.

Materials And Methods: We included 53 eyes of the 53 patients diagnosed with PCOS and 57 eyes of the 57 healthy control subjects (who are non-pregnant, none of the following clinical findings of male pattern hair loss, hirsutism or acne and with regular menstrual cycles, who have no laboratory findings in her medical history that indicate hyperandrogenism, and who have ovaries that appear to be normal ultrasonographically. All subjects were referred to the masked ophthalmologist by the obstetrician and gynecologist.

The effect of pregnancy on meibomian gland, tear film, cornea and anterior segment parameters.

Aim: In this prospective study, we aimed to examine the effect of physiological and pathological changes that occur during pregnancy in regard to Meibomian Gland (MG) structure, tear film, cornea and anterior segment parameters.

Methods: The following groups were compared: 49 eyes of 49 pregnant women at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy (P16 Group), 46 eyes of 46 pregnant women at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy (P32 Group) and 51 eyes of 51 participants who were not pregnant (P0 Group). The groups were compared in terms of the first break-up time (NIF-BUT) and average break-up time (NIAvg-BUT) values.

Uterine rupture of a patient with rudimentary horn pregnancy at 26th gestational weeks.

Introduction And Importance: Pregnancy of Rudimentary Horn is a type of ectopic pregnancy, that is recognized almost always during surgical treatment of a rupture of the rudimentary horn. This is an obstetric case diagnosed preoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 19-years-old primigravida patient with rupture of rudimentary horn in 26th gestational week.

Newborn Clavicle Fractures: Does Clavicle Fracture Morphology Affect Brachial Plexus Injury?

Background: Newborn clavicle fractures and brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) are rare but serious perinatal complications.

Methods: The aim of this study was to examine the clinical relationship between the fracture morphology (spiral, oblique, transfer) of clavicle fractures that develop during delivery in newborns and BPI. We retrospectively reviewed all perinatal clavicle fractures diagnosed at our institution over 6 years.
