Early or late response in poor responders: does it make a difference in cycle outcome?

Ovarian response to stimulation mainly determines the length of stimulation. However, there is no clarity in the literature regarding the optimal duration required to achieve oocyte maturity in patients with the poor ovarian response (POR) defined by Bologna criteria. Therefore, a total of 267 cycles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected retrospectively.

The Effect of Disulfiram in the Prevention of Postoperative Adhesion Formation in an Experimental Rat Uterine Horn Model.

Postoperative adhesions can cause serious complications, including intestinal obstruction, chronic abdominopelvic pain, and infertility in women. Here we investigate the effects of disulfiram on the postoperative adhesion model. Female Wistar rats were used (n = 72).

Is the Oncological Outcome of Early Stage Uterine Carcinosarcoma Different from That of Grade 3 Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma?

Aim: The clinicopathologic characteristics, recurrence patterns, and survival of patients with grade 3 endometrial cancer (G3-EAC) and uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) were compared.

Materials And Methods: The medical records of patients treated for G3-EAC and UCS between January 1996 and December 2016 at 11 gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey and Germany were analyzed.

Results: Of all patients included in the study, 161 (45.

The Relationships between Prenatal Attachment, Basic Personality Traits, Styles of Coping with Stress, Depression, and Anxiety, and Marital Adjustment Among Women in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy.

Objective: The importance of prenatal attachment, probably as the initial attachment of a pregnant woman to the fetus and which turn into the maternal-baby attachment after birth, for the well-being of the newborn and mother is well known. The aim of the present study was to explore the possible socio-demographic and clinical factors (personality features, styles used in coping with stress, depression, and situational anxiety levels, and marital adjustment) affecting maternal-fetal attachment.

Materials And Methods: Eighty women on their third trimesters of pregnancy were included in the study.

Maternal serum glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose predicts gestational diabetes at the first trimester in Turkish women with a low-risk pregnancy and its relationship with fetal birth weight; a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To examine the accuracy of maternal serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels in predicting gestational diabetes at the first trimester in Turkish women with a low-risk pregnancy and its relationship with fetal birth weight.

Methods: This cohort study was conducted retrospectively in a tertiary referral hospital from January 2010 to January 2017. HbA1c and FPG serum concentrations were measured in 670 pregnant women at the first-trimester screening.

Adnexal lesions after hysterectomy: A retrospective observational study.

Objective: To characterize adnexal lesions detected in patients who had undergone previous hysterectomy with one or both ovaries conserved, and to define the clinical, pathologic, and surgical characteristics of the adnexal lesions in these patients.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who had undergone a previous abdominal hysterectomy with one or both adnexa preserved and who had subsequently presented with an adnexal lesion. Characteristics of lesions, operative, and pathologic findings in patients who required a re-operation were noted.

The effectiveness of the double B-lynch suture as a modification in the treatment of intractable postpartum haemorrhage.

A broader range of more effective compression techniques are needed in the patients who have an intractable postpartum haemorrhage due to uterine atony despite medical treatment and B-Lynch sutures. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of a series of patients with haemorrhage who were managed by double B-Lynch suture. Fourteen patients who were treated in a tertiary hospital between July 2010 and February 2015 were included in the study.

The role of ADAMTS genes in preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is a complex disease that increases both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. It complicates around 5-10% of all pregnancies..

Evaluation of Probably Benign Adnexal Masses in Postmenopausal Women.

 Preoperatively identification of malignancy potential of a postmenopausal adnexal masses is important.  To evaluate the effectiveness of the Risk of Malignancy Index-2 in presumably benign adnexal masses in postmenopausal women.  Retrospective, observational study.

Impact of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor variants in female infertility.

Purpose: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and its receptor play a major role in the development of follicles and regulation of steroidogenesis in the ovary and spermatogenesis in the testis. We aim to analyze the role of FSHR gene variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon 10 (codon 307 and 680) and in the core promoter region (at position -29) and Ala189Val inactivating mutation) in Turkish infertile women. There were studies analyzing the effects of the SNPs in exon 10 (codon 307 and 680) and in the core promoter region (at position -29) of the FSHR gene on spermatogenesis, but to our knowledge, there were no studies analyzing the effects of these three SNP combinations on female fertility.

Is montelukast effective in regression of endometrial implants in an experimentally induced endometriosis model in rats?

Objective: Montelukast, a selective antagonist of Type 1 cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLT1Rs), antagonizes the proinflammatory and proasthmatic activities of CysLT1Rs. We investigated the effect of montelukast on a surgically induced endometriosis rat model.

Study Design: Thirty-two sexually mature, cycling, female Wistar-Albino rats, in which endometriotic implants were surgically induced, were randomly divided into three groups.
