Pregnancy is an inherently delicate process characterized by physiological and psychological changes, even in the absence of any health complications. This study compares the levels of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and guilt in women diagnosed with high-risk pregnancies to those in a control group consisting of women with healthy pregnancies. A total of 172 women participated in the study, 108 of whom had high-risk pregnancies, and 64 had healthy pregnancies.

- The study aimed to evaluate the visibility of the fetal optic chiasm and optic tracts through ultrasound and establish reference values for mid-trimester fetuses.
- It included 154 normal fetuses at 19-23 weeks of gestation, measuring various dimensions using a specific ultrasound technique, successfully visualizing OC and OTs in 70.8% of cases.
- Results showed that the dimensions of OC and OTs were positively correlated with measurements of the cavum septum pellucidum, as well as other growth indicators like biparietal diameter and head circumference.
Objective: To examine the association between cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and corpus callosum (CC) length and width measurements in mid-trimester sonographic screening in normal fetuses.
Methods: This prospective cohort study examined 152 pregnant women who underwent mid-trimester sonographic fetal anomaly screening. CSP and CC lengths and their anterior, middle, and posterior width measurements were examined sonographically.
Introduction: This study evaluated fetal pancreas size and echogenicity, and splenic artery (SA) waveforms in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: This prospective case-control study was performed from October 2022 to November 2023 and included 124 pregnant women (62 with GDM and 62 controls). Pancreatic circumference, pancreatic echogenicity, umbilical artery Doppler measurements (systolic/diastolic ratio [S/D] and pulsatility index [PI]), SA Doppler measurements (S/D, PI, peak systolic velocity [PSV], time-averaged maximum velocity, and pressure gradient [PG] mean and maximum) values were compared between the GDM and control groups.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate placental and fetal lung stiffness in pregnant women with and without gestational diabetes, considering the well-established delay in fetal lung maturation associated with gestational diabetes.
Materials And Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary center and included pregnant women who underwent a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test between 24-28 weeks of gestation. Elastography measurements were performed using point shear wave elastography (pSWE).
Background/aim: Basal level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), and antral follicle count are used as predictors of ovarian reserve before starting ovulation induction. We aimed to investigate the predictor potential of early follicular phase FSH/LH ratio on controlled ovarian hyperstimulation-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (COH-ICSI) cycle outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted with 648 COH-ICSI cycles performed between 2012 and 2014.
