Normal range of intracranial translucency in healthy Turkish pregnancies and its association with first trimester maternal serum biochemistry and ductus venosus pulsatility index. .

Objective: To measure the intracranial translucency (IT) by establishing reference ranges in uncomplicated singleton Turkish pregnancies and to evaluate the association of IT with maternal serum biochemistry, gestational week, crown-rump length (CRL) measurement, nuchal translucency (NT) and ductus venosus Doppler velocimetry.

Materials And Methods: 190 uncomplicated singleton pregnancies were included in the study. IT, NT and CRL measurements between 11-14 gestational weeks were obtained with mid-sagittal plane.

De novo reciprocal translocation t(5;11)(q22;p15) associated with hydrops fetalis (reciprocal translocation and hydrops fetalis).

Objective: This is a case of a prenatally diagnosed non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) associated with translocation t(5;11)(q22;p15). An association between NIHF and this translocation has not been reported previously.

Case Report: The patient was referred to the perinatology clinic with hydrops fetalis diagnosis at 23 weeks' gestation.

The assessment of placental volume and mean gray value in preeclamptic placentas by using three-dimensional ultrasonography.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the placental volume and placental mean gray value in preeclampsia and healthy placentas by using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography and Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis (VOCAL).

Methods: This case-control prospective study consisted of 27 singleton pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and 54 healthy singleton pregnancies matched for gestational age, maternal age and parity. Placental volume and placental volumetric mean gray values were evaluated.

Effect of Anaesthesia Methods for Regaining Daily Life Activities in Cesarean Patients.

Objective: Postpartum period is physically, socially and emotionally a difficult time for the parents and the baby to become a family. We tried to investigate how the anaesthesia method affects patients who underwent cesarean delivery, as a factor which also affects this period.

Methods: Two hundred and six parturients, who underwent elective cesarean delivery in Celal Bayar University Hafsa Sultan Hospital were recruited for our study.

Effect of raloxifene and atorvastatin in atherosclerotic process in ovariectomized rats.

Aim: The goal of this study was to investigate the combined effects of raloxifene and atorvastatin in aged ovariectomized rats during endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic process.

Material And Methods: This study was conducted on 28 Wistar albino female rats randomly divided into four groups. All groups were ovariectomized and one group was kept as the control group (OVX).

Comparative effects of risedronate, atorvastatin, estrogen and SERMs on bone mass and strength in ovariectomized rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate bone protective effects of risedronate, atorvastatin, raloxifene and clomiphene citrate in ovariectomized rats.

Methods: Our study was conducted on 63 rats at Experimental Research Center of Celal Bayar University. Six-month-old rats were divided into seven groups.

Comparison of the Bishop score, body mass index and transvaginal cervical length in predicting the success of labor induction.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of ultrasonographic and various maternal and fetal parameters in predicting successful labor induction.

Methods: Body mass index, cervical length, dilatation, effacement, Bishop score, parity, maternal age and birth weight were evaluated in 189 singleton pregnant women at 37-42 weeks of gestation and having induction of labor. All underwent induction of labor with oxytocin.

The effect of clomiphene citrate on osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether clomiphene citrate (CC) administration could be a new therapeutic agent in case of contraindication of estrogen therapy for hormone-dependent osteoporosis and to show the changes in bone structure by histomorphometric analysis in ovariectomized rats administered CC.

Study Design: This study was carried out in the Experimental Surgery Laboratory of the Brain Research Centre of the Medical Faculty of Ege University. Four-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used for the experiment.

Pelvic floor function and anatomy after childbirth.

Objective: To investigate pelvic floor muscle function and anatomy after childbirth in continent women differing in obstetric history.

Study Design: Young, continent women, age range 20-40 years, were recruited into 3 groups: 1. elective, prelabor cesarean delivery (n =12); 2.

Use of DNA hybridization test for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis in women with symptoms suggestive of infection.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a DNA hybridization test (Affirm VPIII) as an alternative to Gram stain for the rapid diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis in women with clinical signs of vaginal infection. Vaginal specimens were collected from 321 symptomatic women, and analyzed for bacterial vaginosis by both Gram stain using Nugent criteria and DNA hybridization test. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the DNA hybridization test were determined using the Gram staining as the standard for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.

Hormone receptor expressions and proliferation markers in postmenopausal endometrial polyps.

Background/aims: Endometrial polyps are quite common in the general population, they have a significant role in postmenopausal bleeding, and the pathogenesis is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate proliferation markers and expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women.

Methods: Endometrial polyps were removed by hysteroscopy from 36 women who presented with postmenopausal bleeding.

The effect of tibolone on endometrial IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 levels in ovariectomized rats.

Objective: The goal of this study was to search the effects of two different doses of tibolone on endometrial IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 levels in ovariectomized rats.

Methods: Eighteen adult, female, 80-90-days-old, Wistar rats with an average weight of 250 g underwent bilateral ovariectomy under general anesthesia. After waiting for 4 weeks, they were randomized into three groups to receive either oral tibolone in two different doses or placebo.
