Mega Hpv laboratories for cervical cancer control: Challenges and recommendations from a case study of Turkey.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women in the world. It is estimated that one woman dies every 2 min from cervical cancer. Nearly all cervical cancers are preventable by early detection and treatment through screening or HPV vaccination.

Could 25-OH vitamin D deficiency be a reason for HPV infection persistence in cervical premalignant lesions?

Vitamin D is an essential precursor to the steroid hormone calcitriol which mainly regulates calcium homeostasis. Moreover anti- proliferative, pro- apoptotic, anti- angiogenic effects of Vitamin D support the ideas of preventive role in various cancer. This study aimed to determine if there is a relationship between HPVDNA infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and Vitamin D deficiency.

Clinical, but Not Laboratory Features Are Predictive of Risk of Subsequent Development of Preeclampsia in Patients With Isolated Proteinuria After Midgestation.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate perinatal outcomes and to describe antenatal factors for development of preeclampsia (PE) in patients with isolated proteinuria in pregnancy.

Methods: This retrospective case control study consisted of patients with isolated proteinuria between 2009 and 2014. The patients were considered as gestational proteinuria (GP) (group 1, n: 35) if they remain normotensive.

Immediate postplacental insertion of a copper intrauterine device: a pilot study to evaluate expulsion rate by mode of delivery.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate risk factors for expulsion in immediate postplacental IUD insertion. We specifically sought to determine whether cesarean delivery before or during labor have an impact on IUD expulsion.

Methods: The study included 160 pregnant women for immediate IUD insertion following vaginal or cesarean delivery.

Retrospective evaluation of risk factors and perinatal outcome of umbilical cord prolapse during labor.

Objective: Umbilical cord prolapse has a reported prevalence of 0.1-0.6%.

First-trimester crown-rump length affects birth size symmetrically.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between crown-rump length (CRL) and birth weight, length and head circumference of the newborn.

Methods: From a database of delivery records of 12,000 pregnancies, we identified 999 women with singleton pregnancies who had no medical problems, a normal menstrual history and a first trimester ultrasound scan in which CRL had been measured. All of the pregnancies resulted in live births without evidence of chromosomal and congenital abnormalities.

Neonatal injury at cephalic vaginal delivery: a retrospective analysis of extent of association with shoulder dystocia.

Purpose: To describe the risk factors and labor characteristics of Clavicular fracture (CF) and brachial plexus injury (BPI); and compare antenatal and labor characteristics and prognosis of obstetrical BPI associated with shoulder dystocia with obstetrical BPI not associated with shoulder dystocia.

Methods: This retrospective study consisted of women who gave birth to an infant with a fractured clavicle or BPI between January 2009 and June 2013. Antenatal and neonatal data were compared between groups.

Does bleeding affect fetal Doppler parameters during genetic amniocentesis?

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between fetal Doppler parameters and bleeding at insertion points during amniocentesis.

Material And Methods: This prospective study was conducted between July 2010 and February 2011. A total of 215 amniocentesis procedures were performed during this period.

Behçet's disease and pregnancy: a retrospective analysis of course of disease and pregnancy outcome.

Aim: Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare, chronic, multisystemic disease of unknown cause. BD is characterized by mucocutaneous, ocular, vascular and central nervous system manifestations and is also associated with thrombogenicity. In this retrospective analysis we investigated the relation between gestation and BD.

Retrospective evaluation of pregnancy outcomes in women with familial Mediterranean fever.

Aim: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by periodic attacks of fever, aseptic serositis and synovitis. In this study, we investigated maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant patients with FMF.

Methods: This retrospective study consisted of 46 pregnant patients with FMF who attended the perinatology clinic of Dr Zekai Tahir Burak Research and Training Hospital between January 2008 and December 2012.
