Evaluation of readability levels of online patient education materials for female pelvic floor disorders.

Most women hesitate to seek help from healthcare providers as they find it difficult to share complaints of involuntary leakage or vaginal prolapse. Hence, they often refer to the websites of national and/or international bodies' patient education materials (PEMs), which are considered the most reliable sources. The crucial factor that determines their usefulness is their readability level, which makes them "easy" or "difficult" to read, and is recommended, not to exceed the sixth grade level.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 126 patients whose medical records were accessed completely and who got pregnant again and gave birth in our hospital were analyzed. The primary aim was to show the recurrence rate of preeclampsia, while the secondary aim was to evaluate the maternal and fetal results of the first pregnancy in which preeclampsia developed and the subsequent pregnancy.

Effects of HRG and TP73 gene variations on ovarian response.

Aims: This study aims to investigate whether gene C633T rs9898 and gene rs4648551 A > G polymorphisms have an effect on ovulation and response to the gonadotropin treatments.

Materials And Methods: Blood samples were received from a total of 206 individuals (116 patients from whom good quality and optimal of numbers oocytes have not been able to be obtained at the IVF Center of Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Medicine and 90 controls). Genomic DNA was extracted by DNA isolation and SNP genotyping was performed by real-time qPCR method.

The predictive value of weight gain and waist circumference for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objective: The first objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational weight gain (WG), waist circumference (WC), prepregnancy, and gestational body mass index (BMI). The second aim of our study was to assess the ability of WG, WC, prepregnancy, and gestational BMI with special reference to their cut-off points on predicting the risk of GDM in pregnant women in Turkey.

Materials And Methods: A total of 261 women who underwent screening for GDM with the 75-g glucose tolerance test (GTT) between 24 and 28 gestational weeks were included.
