Predictive value of serum and follicular fluid chemerin concentrations during assisted reproductive cycles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of serum and follicular fluid (ff) Chemerin levels on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) outcomes in lean patients with PCOS.

Materials And Methods: The study included 76 infertile reproductive aged women, between 21-35 years who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure. Serum and ff Chemerin levels were evaluated.

Clinical and pathological significance of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in high grade serous ovarian cancer.

We investigated programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) / programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and its relationship to tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and prognosis. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples of 94 HGSOC cases were included in the study. Immunohistochemical analysis (CD3, CD4, CD8, PD-1 and PD-L1) was performed.

Comparison of ovarian responsiveness tests with outcome of assisted reproductive technology - a retrospective analysis.

Introduction: This study aims to compare the association between the most commonly used ovarian responsiveness markers - age, anti-Müllerian hormone levels (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), ovarian sensitivity index (OSI), and ovarian response prediction index (ORPI) - and ovarian responsiveness to gonadotropin stimulation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles.

Material And Methods: Patients who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment using either a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist or agonist protocol were enrolled in the study. Data of the patients were abstracted from the hospital's database.

Colloid Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix and Its Immunohistochemical Analysis: A Case Report.

Colloid carcinoma, which is a very rare tumor of the uterine cervix, is composed of an excessive amount of mucus and a relative paucity of tumoral glandular cells within them. Herein, we report a rare case of colloid carcinoma of the cervix with adenocarcinoma (AIS), intestinal and usual types, and endocervical adenocarcinoma (usual type) components. We also discuss the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of this tumor.

Primary ovarian leiomyoma in a postmenopausal woman: A case report.

Leiomyomas are benign neoplasms that can develop wherever smooth muscle is present. Primary leiomyomas of the ovary originate from smooth muscle cells of ovarian tissue and are rare, solitary tumors. Approximately 70 cases have been reported.

Comparison of the distinctive pathological features of and p16 and c-Kitexpression levels in benign and malignant endometrial polyps.

Background/aim: Histopathological examination is crucial for the effective management of endometrial polyps. Immunohistochemical markers such as p16 and c-Kit may facilitate the differential diagnoses of benign and malignant polyps. The aim of the present study was to explore the expression levels of c-Kit (CD117) and p16 in endometrial polyps of postmenopausal women.

Comparison of the Classical Method and SEE-FIM Protocol in Detecting Microscopic Lesions in Fallopian Tubes with Gynecological Lesions.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the classical method and Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriated End Protocol (SEE-FIM) in detecting microscopic lesions in fallopian tubes with gynecological lesions.

Methods: From a total of 1,118 cases, 582 with various parts of both fallopian tubes sampled in three-ring-shape sections and 536 sampled with the SEE-FIM protocol were included in this study. Pathological findings of cases with endometrial carcinoma, non-uterine pelvic malignant tumor, ovarian borderline tumors, premalignancy, and benign lesions were compared.

Is interstitial pregnancy clinically different from cornual pregnancy? A case report.

Interstitial pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with significant risk for morbidity. A 32-year-old woman, was brought to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain and syncope. There was no history of menolipsis and usage of any contraceptive methods.

Reevaluation of negative cone biopsy results after a positive cervical biopsy finding.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and reexamine materials of the patients with cervical biopsy revealing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and their cone biopsies revealing no lesion.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five patients with cervical biopsy revealing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cone biopsies revealing no lesion among 202 patients who had undergone cervical conization after colposcopically derived cervical biopsy between 2005 and 2011 were included in this study. Ki67 and P16 were applied to the all biopsy slides.

Uterine junctional zone thickness, cervical length and bioelectrical impedance analysis of body composition in women with endometriosis.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate uterine junctional zone thickness, cervical length and bioelectrical impedance analysis of body composition in women with endometriosis.

Material And Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in a tertiary teaching hospital. A total of 73 patients were included in the study.

Efficacy of passive uterine straightening during intrauterine insemination on pregnancy rates and ease of technique.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of passive uterine straightening during intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Material And Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Pediatric Research and Training Hospital. Participants were 460 women with unexplained infertility.
