Investigation of the effect of vitamin K1 prophylaxis on newborn screenings tests in newborns.

Background: Routine screening for hereditary disorders in newborns includes screening for treatable metabolic and endocrine disorders, such as biotidinase deficiency, galactosemia, maple syrup urine disease, hypothyroidism, and cystic fibrosis. Incorrect test results may be encountered due to the use of vitamin K1. To investigate the interference effect of vitamin K1 on neonatal screening tests and to raise awareness of erroneous measurements.

Is There Any Relationship Between Thyroid Function Abnormalities, Thyroid Antibodies and Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in Pregnant Women?

Objective: To determine the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxin (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG) and renal iodine excretion (RIE) in the first trimester of the pregnancy and to estimate the risk of developing GDM in these patients.

Method: The levels of TSH, T3, T4, anti-TPO, anti-TG, and RIE were retrospectively evaluated. A total of 312 pregnant women were included in the study (GDM (-) group n=240, GDM (+) group n=62).

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Screening and Diagnosis.

An ideal screening test for gestational diabetes should be capable of identifying not only women with the disease but also the women with a high risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Screening and diagnosis are the main steps leading to the way of management. There is a lack of consensus among healthcare professionals regarding the screening methods worldwide.

Hearing Screening Test Results of Newborns Conceived by Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection: A Retrospective Study of Tertiary Referral Center.

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), especially intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), is associated with birth defects. However, there are few reports on hearing screening tests of these babies. We aimed to determine the association between ART and hearing loss in newborns.

Antenatal Cytomegalovirus Infection Screening Results of 32,188 Patients in a Tertiary Referral Center: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: The present study aimed to determine cytomegalovirus (CMV) seroprevalence, low and high avidities, and the frequency of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positivity and neonatal disease in an obstetric population.

Materials And Methods: Sera of 32,188 women were tested for CMV IgM and/or CMV IgG between 2008 and 2017. Those with IgM were tested for antibody avidity.
