The Effect of Using Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Povidone Iodine Solution on the Healing Process Before a Cesarean Section.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effect of povidone iodine (PI) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) shower groups on the healing process in cesarean section operations.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Patients were recruited from Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital in Turkey between February and May 2021.

Efficacy of everolimus plus hormonal treatment after cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor; real-life experience, A TOG study.

Purpose: In advanced breast cancer, endocrine therapy is preferred in the absence of visceral crisis. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) are the gold standards. The selection of subsequent treatments after CDKi treatment is still controversial, and the efficacy of everolimus (EVE) combinations is unknown.

The effect of protection of platelet-rich plasma against experimental ischemia/reperfusion injury in the rat ovary on in vitro fertilization outcomes.

Objective: Ovarian torsion is a common cause of local ischemic damage, reduced follicular activity and infertility. This study aimed to investigate how well platelet-rich plasma (PRP) protects against experimental ischemic (I) and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat ovaries and its effect on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.

Method: Fifty-six adult female Sprague-Dawley albino rats were randomly assigned to six groups of eight animals each: Sham, Ischemia, I/R, Sham + PRP, I + PRP, and I/R + PRP.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the spermatic cord: two cases and review of the literature.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a neoplasm of intermediate biological potential. Few cases of spermatic cord IMT have been reported in the literature. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a consequence of the proliferation of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells.

Does feticide shorten termination duration in second trimester pregnancy terminations?

Backround: A retrospective (case-controlled) study was conducted with the aim of identifying the effect of the use of misoprostol on termination time in patients who did and did not undergo feticide procedures in second trimester pregnancy terminations.

Methods: The sampling of the study consisted of 144 pregnant women who were diagnosed as having major fetal anomalies incompatible with life, and were recommended for termination of pregnancy. The investigation showed that feticide procedures were performed for 99 women, and feticide procedures were not performed for 45 women.

Effects of gestational and pregestational diabetes mellitus on the foetal heart: a cross-sectional study.

We examined the foetal cardiac structural and functional characteristics in diabetic pregnancies versus non-diabetic, healthy pregnancies. Between August 2015 and April 2016, 32 pregnant women with pregestational diabetes, 36 pregnant women with gestational diabetes, and 42 healthy pregnant women were scheduled to have foetal echocardiograms to assess cardiac structure and function. In the diabetic groups, the foetal interventricular septum (IVS) thickness was significantly greater than in non-diabetics (p < .

Evaluation of the effect of indomethacin and piroxicam administration before embryo transfer on pregnancy rate.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) administration before embryo transfer (ET) on pregnancy rates in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection ET.

Methods: Our study included 255 patients diagnosed with primary or secondary infertility caused by a male or tubal-related factor, endometriosis or unexplained factors. The patients were divided randomly into three groups.

The relationship of urocortin-2 with insulin resistance patients having PCOS.

In this study, we aimed to compare the serum urocortin-2 (UCN2) levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healthy women. Thirty-eight patients with PCOS and 41 healthy women were included in the study whose age and BMI matched. The fasting serum glucose, insulin, free testosterone, hs-CRP and UCN2 levels of the all participants were examined.

Chromosome aberrations [dup(1q)] in endometrial cancer: Gene analysis of 54 surgical specimens in Turkey.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of chromosomal aberrations and mutations in the k-ras or Her-2/neu genes in surgical specimens of endometrial carcinoma and their association with clinicopathological findings.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-four patients who were treated for endometrial cancer between April 2010 and May 2011 at the Kocaeli University Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Kocaeli, Turkey were enrolled in a prospective study. Clinical and histopathological findings were recorded.
