Folicular reserve changes in torsion-detorsion of the ovary: an experimental study.

Objective: We assess follicular reserve changes by follicle count in torsion-detorsion rat model.

Study Design: 30 albino rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group (SG), detorsion after 24-hour torsion group (24hTG) and detorsion after 72-hour torsion group (72hTG). Ovaries were torsioned and fixed.

Comparison of two modalities: a novel technique, 'chromohysteroscopy', and blind endometrial sampling for the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding.

Aim: The objective of this study was to compare classical blind endometrial tissue sampling with hysteroscopic biopsy sampling following methylene blue dyeing in premenopausal and postmenopausal patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Material And Methods: A prospective case-control study was carried out in the Office Hysteroscopy Unit. Fifty-four patients with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding were evaluated.

Comparison of single-dose and multiple-dose antibiotics for lower urinary tract infection in pregnancy.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of fosfomycin trometamol, cefuroxime axetil, and amoxicillin clavulanate antibiotics, and to assess the difference in patient compliance, in the treatment of urinary tract infections during pregnancy.

Methods: Between September 2007 and May 2008, 90 out of 324 pregnant women with complaints of lower urinary tract infection, who were followed at the outpatient clinic or referred to the emergency department of Vakif Gureba Education and Research Hospital, were enrolled in a prospective study. Patients were randomized into 3 equal groups for treatment with single-dose fosfomycin trometamol, or 5-day courses of amoxicillin clavulanate or cefuroxime axetil.

Prevention of adhesion formation following ovarian surgery in a standardized animal model: comparative study of Interceed and double layer Surgicell.

Aim: Comparison of antiadhesive performances of double layer Surgicell and single layer Interceed following ovarian surgery in a rabbit model.

Methods: Prospective randomized controlled trial performed at the animal laboratory of a university. Thirty-nine New Zealand White female rabbits of reproductive age were included.

Cervical endometriosis, a case presenting with intractable spotting.

Cervix uteri is regarded as an infrequent localization for endometriosis. With widespread use of invasive cervical procedures, however, an increased incidence can be expected. Limited awareness of the clinical appearance of the disease may account for its apparent rarity.
