The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of single and double interspiking on reproductive performance, some body welfare, and blood parameters of broiler breeder flock. The study was carried out on a total of 3840 female and 384 male (with average weight 4706.07 ± 307.

The prediction of myometrial infiltration by three-dimensional ultrasonography in patients with endometrial carcinoma: a validation study from Ege University Hospital.

Aim: To predict the myometrial invasion with three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in a cohort of patients with endometrial carcinoma by a previously described technique.

Material And Methods: The moyometrial infiltration was evaluated by 3D ultrasonography before surgery in 54 patients with endometrial carcinoma. After scanning the whole uterus by ultrasonography, three perpendicular planes were identified to find the shortest myometrial tumor-free distance to serosa (TDS) by examining the lateral, anterior, posterior, and fundal parts of the myometrium.

The retrospective analysis of patients with uterine sarcomas: A single-center experience.

Background: Uterine sarcomas are rare, malignant, gynecological tumors and show diverse histopathological features. Therefore, there is no consensus on risk factors for poor outcome and optimal treatment. The aim of this retrospective analysis is to report the clinical outcome of patients with uterine sarcoma treated at a single center.

Egg production and welfare of laying hens kept in different housing systems (conventional, enriched cage, and free range).

The aim of this study was to compare egg production performance and welfare traits of laying hens kept in conventional cage (CC), enriched cage (EC), and free range (FR). Lohmann Brown laying hens (n = 480 with 160 per housing type) were studied across a production cycle from placement at 17 wk until depopulation at 66 wk. The hens were randomly allocated into cages or pens of housing system groups; within each system there were four replicates with 40 hens in each pen or cage.

Do preoperative serum vascular endothelial growth factor and migration-inhibitory factor predict the nature of the adnexal masses? A prospective-controlled trial.

The aim of this study was to identify the role of preoperative serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and migration inhibitor factor (MIF) in differentiation of benign and malignant adnexal masses, as well as the relationship between prognostic factors and VEGF and MIF in ovarian cancer patients. This prospective study included 41 patients who were admitted between November 2010 and March 2012. In the malignant group, there were 21 patients, and remaining 20 had benign adnexal masses.

Multicenter analysis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Turkey.

Background: To evaluate the incidence, diagnosis and management of GTN among 28 centers in Turkey.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was designed to include GTN patients attending 28 centers in the 10-year period between January 2003 and May 2013. Demographical characteristics of the patients, histopathological diagnosis, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) anatomical and prognostic scores, use of single-agent and multi-agent chemotherapy, surgical interventions and prognosis were evaluated.

Prognostic predictors and spread patterns in adult ovarian granulosa cell tumors: a multicenter long-term follow-up study of 108 patients.

Purpose: To identify prognostic predictors and spread patterns in adult ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCTs).

Methods: Available retrospective data of 108 OGCT patients managed at three centers between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 2010 were abstracted and analyzed.

Results: Stage distributions at diagnosis for stage I, II and III OGCT were 84.

Effect of surgical staging on 539 patients with borderline ovarian tumors: a Turkish Gynecologic Oncology Group study.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to examine demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics and to determine the effects of primary surgery, surgical staging and the extensiveness of staging.

Methods: In a retrospective Turkish multicenter study, 539 patients, from 14 institutions, with borderline ovarian tumors were investigated. Some of the demographic, clinical and surgical characteristics of the cases were evaluated.

Can preoperative neutrophil:lymphocyte and platelet:lymphocyte ratios be used as predictive markers for lymph node metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva?

Objective: To determine whether the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet:lymphocyte ratio (PLR) before complete surgical staging provide information on lymph node metastasis in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Study Design: All patients with vulvar SCC who underwent complete surgical staging at two institutions between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2011 were identified retrospectively from patient databases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate cut-off, sensitivity, and specificity values for preoperative NLR and PLR to predict lymph node metastasis.

Effect of oxygen supplementation in the hatcher at high altitude on the incubation results of broiler eggs laid at low altitude.

1. The object of this research was to investigate the effects of high altitude with supplementary oxygen during the last stage of incubation of broiler eggs laid at low altitude and incubated at low and high altitude. We analysed thyroid hormones and haematological variables.

Palliative radiotherapy for the skin metastasis of ovarian cancer: a case report and review of the literature.

Ovarian cancer which is the most common cause of death among all gynecological malignancies tends to metastasize through peritoneal cavity. Skin metastasis, however, is a very rare clinical entity and related with poor prognosis. We report a 43-year-old patient with recurrent ovarian cancer presented with extensive abdominal skin metastasis approximately 6 years after the initial diagnosis.

The effects of different feeding management systems on performance of a slow-growing broiler genotype.

1. A total of 420 male 1-d-old chicks of a slow-growing genetic line (Hubbard ISA Red JA) were used as the trial material. Two diets that were low in fats and high in cereals, and free from growth promoters and animal protein, and formulated at two energy and protein concentrations, were fed ad libitum or 80% of ad libitum.

The relationship among age, yolk fatty acids content, and incubation results of broiler breeders.

This research was carried out to investigate the correlations among age, yolk fatty acids content, and incubation results of broiler breeders. Egg samples were obtained from Ross 308 broiler breeder parent stock at 28, 45, and 65 wk of age. A total of 1,800 eggs were used for incubation results of each age period.

Congenital vulvar lymphangioma circumscriptum.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a defect of lymphatic channels in the deep dermis and subcutaneous layers, characterized by grouped vesicles. This disorder rarely occurs in vulvar sites. We present a rare case of LC in a 72-year-old patient who presented with a vulvar mass and ipsilateral leg edema.

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix: a report of a case and review of the literature.

Introduction: Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is a rare aggressive cervical neoplasm, considerably rarer than the well-recognized small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix. Cervical large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas are distinctive cervical carcinomas that are frequently misdiagnosed and have an unfavorable outcome, similar to that of small cell carcinoma.

Case Report: We report a 45-year-old woman with large cell neuroendocrine uterine cervical carcinoma.
