A successful management algorithm for vulvar abscess: A tertiary hospital experience.

Aim: To develop a treatment and management algorithm for vulvar abscess.

Methods: We evaluated the clinical findings and treatment modalities of patients hospitalized with vulvar abscess via a comprehensive literature review and a clinical study. Patients with a diagnosis of vulvar abscess (n = 28) between 2015 and 2019 in the gynecology clinic of our hospital were included in the clinical study.

The effect of anterior uterocervical angle and cervical length on the development of pelvic inflammatory disease.

This study aims to compare the uterine body longitudinal axis, uterine body transverse axis, uterine cervix longitudinal axis and anterior cervical axis angle measured ultrasonographically between women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and healthy controls. Women aged 18-45 years with PID and healthy controls were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, uterine body long axis, uterine body transverse axis, uterine cervix long axis and anterior cervical axis angle of PID patients and healthy controls were evaluated.

Do anxiety and depression statuses differ in differentpolycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes?

Background/aim: To evaluate psychological parameters and health quality profiles in women with reproductive polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes and age matched controls.

Materials And Methods: The study groups included 101 women with PCOS (54 with the National Institutes of Health [NIH] phenotype and 47 with the non-NIH phenotype) and 49 healthy female controls. The participants completed anxiety and depression scales and four quality of life domains.

Prospective randomized trial of oxytocin administration for active management of the third stage of labor.

Objective: To determine the most efficient route and timing of oxytocin administration for active management of the third stage of labor.

Methods: A prospective randomized study was done at one center in Ankara, Turkey, between January and October 2010. Women with a singleton pregnancy (>37 weeks) who had a live vaginal birth were randomly allocated to four groups: iv-A (intravenous oxytocin after delivery of the fetus), iv-B (when anterior shoulder seen), im-A (intramuscular oxytocin after delivery), and im-B (when anterior shoulder seen).

Insulin resistance and its relationship with high molecular weight adiponectin in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and a maternal history of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective: To assess the rate of insulin resistance (IR) and the relationship between IR and high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in normal weight adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a maternal history of PCOS.

Design: Case-controlled study.

Setting: Adolescent clinic of a teaching and research hospital.

Fetal tyhmus size as a predictor of histological chorioamnionitis in preterm premature rupture of membranes.

Objective: To predict histological chorioamnionitis (CA) in the cases of preterm premature rupture of membranes by using fetal thymus transverse and anteroposterior diameters and areal measurements.

Methods: Fifty healthy and 50 patients diagnosed with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) between 24 and 37 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Fetal thymus measurements were done and repeated on a weekly basis until delivery, Furthermore white blood cell, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured every other day until delivery, too.
