Objectives: To define the incidence of anorectal diseases in primigravida women as well as in the first month after delivery and the factors affecting the development of anorectal diseases.
Methods: The sample size was determined as 328 primigravida women. Research data were collected from pregnant women who applied to Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic, Kars Harakani State Hospital Gynecology and General Surgery Polyclinic, Kafkas University, Kars, Turkey, between November 2020 and August 2021.
Objectives: Discrimination of benign and malignant adnexal masses is crucial for the follow-up and prognosis of the patient. Since each modality alone does not have enough sensitivity, the combination of all methods called multimodal screening is currently being used. In this study, we aimed to compare pelvic mass score (PMS) and the risk of malignancy index (RMI-3) scoring systems in determining the malignant potential of adnexal masses.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of hemoglobin levels during the first trimester on pregnancy outcomes in a Turkish population, highlighting that both low and high hemoglobin levels can lead to adverse effects.
- 1,306 pregnant women were grouped based on their hemoglobin levels, revealing significant differences in outcomes like preterm birth and birth weight among the groups.
- The findings indicate that optimal hemoglobin levels (11-13 g/dL) are associated with better outcomes, while low (<11 g/dL) and high (≥13 g/dL) levels correlate with higher risks of complications, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and neonatal care admissions.
