Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate mitofusin-2 levels and fetal Doppler ultrasonography effects in patients with severe preeclampsia.

Methods: This single-center case-control study was conducted in the gynecology service of the university hospital in Van. A total of 90 pregnant women aged 18-40 years were included in the study.

Objective: The objective of the study was to increase the prediction of success of single-dose methotrexate therapy in ectopic pregnancy patients with modified parameters obtained from complete blood count and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) parameters. In this way, it was aimed to predict patients whose methotrexate treatment may fail and rupture, to avoid unnecessary methotrexate treatment, to shorten the duration of hospital stay and to reduce patient mortality.

Materials And Methods: 233 patients diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy between January 1, 2017, and March 01, 2022, in the obstetrics and gynecology service of a tertiary center were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how cystocele and rectocele affect vaginal birth and outcomes for mothers and newborns, involving 672 pregnant women aged 18 to 40 who had normal deliveries.
  • It was found that women with both conditions experienced longer labor times, especially in the first stage, and had higher rates of complications like maternal laceration and chorioamnionitis compared to those without abnormalities.
  • Despite the increased risk of postpartum bleeding among those with cystocele and rectocele, this was not statistically significant, and overall neonatal outcomes showed no major differences across the groups, suggesting the need for careful monitoring during delivery.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of maternal albumin and serum electrolyte levels on the efficacy of single-dose methotrexate (SDMtx) therapy for ectopic pregnancies. Building on previous research, recommendations are provided to enhance the success of SD-Mtx therapy in the management of ectopic pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: Conducted at a tertiary center gynecology clinic, the study included 353 patients diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy and treated with SD-Mtx from 2012 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted between January 2021 and January 2022, the research included 525 participants: 272 with PPROM and 253 without.
  • * Findings show that higher levels of PCT, MPV, NLR, and MLR are linked to increased PPROM risk and that specific increases in PCT and NLR significantly raise the chances of respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis in neonates.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare serum IL-22 levels in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) to those with intact membranes, assessing its role in inflammation and pregnancy outcomes.* -
  • The research included 80 singleton pregnant women (40 with PPROM and 40 controls) and found that IL-22 levels were significantly higher in PPROM patients, with a cutoff value that could help diagnose PPROM with moderate sensitivity and specificity.* -
  • The findings suggest IL-22 may be an important biomarker for the inflammatory process in PPROM, although it did not correlate with maternal inflammatory markers or other pregnancy outcomes.*

Objective: This study aimed to present the characteristic features of 19 patients who were diagnosed as having Blake's pouch cyst (BPC) at our center.

Materials And Methods: Nineteen patients diagnosed as BPC between 2015 and 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Follow-up examinations were performed using ultrasonography (US) every three weeks up to 35 weeks of gestation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the perinatal outcomes and surgical characteristics of patients with gastroschisis (GS), focusing on the differences between simple and complex GS.
  • It analyzed data from 29 fetuses with GS, revealing that simple GS patients had significantly better clinical outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and no deaths, unlike the complex GS group, which faced higher complications.
  • The conclusion emphasizes that the type of GS (simple vs. complex) is a key factor influencing neonatal outcomes, more so than the method of abdominal wall closure.
