Aim: The aim of the present study was to establish the Doppler sonographic parameters of the uterine arteries in postmenopausal patients with or without hypertension and to determine the value of their measurement in the prediction of endometrial pathology.

Methods: Healthy postmenopausal women (n = 23) and the ones receiving anti-hypertensive medication (n = 34) examined for both endometrial thickness and Doppler velocimetry of the uterine arteries by transvaginal sonography.

Results: There was no significant difference between endometrial thickness and uterine artery Doppler sonographic parameters in hypertensive postmenopausal women compared to normotensive controls.

Objective: In this prospective study, we examined the influence of either segmental epidural anesthesia with bupivocaine hydrochloride or general anesthesia with sevoflurane on serum bilirubin levels and jaundice in neonates born with caesarean section.

Materials And Methods: The patients at 38-40 weeks were included into this prospective study. General anesthesia group (sevoflurane); Group A, (n=66) and segmental epidural anesthesia group (bupivocaine hydrochloride); Group B, (n=76) underwent caesarean section under elective circumstances.
