Turkish reference ranges for the left fetal modified myocardial performance index.

Background: This study aimed to assess fetal cardiac left ventricular function in healthy pregnant women by calculating the modified myocardial performance index (Mod-MPI) and to construct reference ranges for the Turkish population.

Methods: One-hundred-two randomly selected healthy singleton pregnant women ranging between 25 and 39 gestational weeks were included in the study. Left fetal Mod-MPI was measured for each pregnant woman.

Non-Ionizing Radiation Created by Mobile Phone Progresses Endometrial Hyperplasia: An Experimental Rat Study.

Background: Non-ionizing radiation is related with many pathologies.

Aim: Determine association between non-ionizing radiation and endometrial hyperplasia.

Methods: Fifty oopherectomized Wistar albino rats were administered Estradiol hemihydrate (4 mg/kg) to induce hyperplasia, and were exposed to 1800 MHz radiation created by a mobile phone and a signal generator working as base station.

Relationship between copper IUD complications and ultrasonographic findings.

Objective: Intrauterine device (IUD) is a widely used long-acting contraceptive method; however, the side-effects related to IUD may lead to method discontinuation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between the most common side-effects of IUD use; mainly dysmenorrhea, menorrhaghia, pelvic cramping and the relation of these complications with the position of the IUD device within the cavity and uterine dimensions evaluated by transvaginal ultrasonography.

Material And Method: Two hundred and eighty-four patients who had Cu-T380A IUD insertion at the Family Planning Clinic of a tertiary health center were evaluated at insertion and 6 and 12 weeks after the insertion.
