The Effect of Nonstress Device Noise Level on Stress Parameters in Primigravid Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: This study evaluated the effect of the noise level of the nonstress test (NST) device on stress parameters in primigravid women.

Methods: A total of 44 pregnant women participated in a randomized clinical trial between February and October, 2021. The participants were divided randomly into 4 equal groups using an automated web-based randomization system and ensuring allocation concealment: the control group (NST device volume turned off), intervention group I (1-35 dB(A)), intervention group II (36-60 dB(A)), and intervention group III (61 dB(A) and above).

Prevalence and correlates of premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder among women aged 18-25 in Turkey.

Objective: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) are experienced in the luteal phase among women of reproductive age and are known to affect quality of life. This study sought to determine the prevalence and correlates of PMS and PMDD in women aged 18-25 in Turkey.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2022 and May 2023, which recruited 1125 female college students.

Effect of maternal cortisol levels on fetal heart rate patterns in primiparous pregnant women in the third trimester.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether maternal cortisol levels affect fetal heart rate patterns in primiparous pregnant women in the third trimester.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 400 primiparous pregnant women with uncomplicated pregnancies between November and December 2022. The study included primiparous pregnant women over 18 years old in the third trimester who had not exercised for at least 2 h before the fetal heart rate monitoring and had a healthy pregnancy without consuming any food or drink.

A techno-economical assessment of treatment by coagulation-flocculation with aluminum and iron-bases coagulants of landfill leachate membrane concentrates.

Landfill leachate treatment involved with the membrane bioreactor (MBR) combined with membrane treatment via nanofiltration (NF) and/or reverse osmosis (RO) is widely used in Turkey. This treatment produces landfill leachate membrane concentrates (LLMCs) with an undesirably high concentration of contaminants. In the study, two different nanofiltration concentrates of leachate were coagulated.

Statistical assessment of seasonal variations in water quality for different regions in Lake Van (Türkiye).

On earth, surface water bodies interact and change with the natural ecosystems. These surface waters and water quality may be adversely affected due to different factors. To analyze the effects, parameters indicating water pollution and quality and the possible causes of these parameters should be examined.

Inactivated COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among midwifery students: a prospective online survey.

Limited information on vaccines' reliability and lack of sufficient scientific data may cause suspicion among individuals concerning the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of midwifery students to an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. This prospective online survey was conducted between 01 March and 01 May 2021 with 172 midwifery students.

Degradation of thiocyanate by electrochemical oxidation process in coke oven wastewater: Role of operative parameters and mechanistic study.

This study presents the removal of thiocyanate (SCN) from coke oven wastewater by the electrooxidation (EO) process. Initially, the performances boron-doped diamond (BDD) and different DSA (Dimensionally stable anode) electrodes including Ti/IrO, Ti/IrO-RuO, and Ti/IrO-RuO-TiO in SCN removal were compared. BDD anode outperformed the Ti-based mixed metal oxide (MMO) anodes achieving 96.

The effect of tubal sterilization with the Pomeroy technique and bipolar electrocauterization on the ovarian reserve and serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels in a rat model.

Objective: To investigate the effects of tubal sterilization techniques on the ovarian reserve and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in rats.

Study Design: Wistar Hannover rats (n=21) were assigned to the following 3 groups (7 rats/group): Pomeroy technique, bipolar electrocauterization, and control. Pre- and postoperative serum AMH levels, ovarian damage and ovarian follicle counts were assessed.

Effect of detorsion alone and in combination with enoxaparin therapy on ovarian reserve and serum antimüllerian hormone levels in a rat ovarian torsion model.

Objective: To investigate the effect of enoxaparin on ovarian reserve and serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels in a rat ovarian torsion model.

Design: Experimental study.

Setting: Experimental surgery laboratory in a training and research hospital.
