The isovolumetric contraction time (ICT), relaxation (IRT), ejection (ET) measured using Doppler signals opening closing mitral...

To evaluate the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in prediction morbidly adherent placenta.Forty-three women with normal placental location and 26 anteriorly localized placenta previa were recruited for this case-control study. Placental elasticity values both groups determined by SWE imaging.SWE higher group all regions than placentas (p < .01). However, there was no statistically significant difference between without > .05).Placental stiffness is significantly placentas. we could not...

Aim: The aim of this study was evaluating the effectiveness vitamin D in treatment primary dysmenorrhea.Material and Methods: A total 142 patients between 16 35 years age who were admitted to a university hospital diagnosed with dysmenorrhea included randomized controlled manner. Cases into three groups 667 IU once day, 200 E day 400 mg ibuprofen twice day. given two days before expected date menstruation first menstruation. Treatment continued consecutive cycles. Severity menstrual pain...

Purpose: To investigate the copeptin levels in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) compared to uncomplicated pregnancies.Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted 40 pregnant ICP 38 randomly selected healthy women, who formed control group. Serum concentrations were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: Maternal age, body mass index at assessment, gestational age blood sampling similar between two groups. Duration shorter mean...

The aim of the study is to evaluate maternal serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain-type (BNP) levels in patients with getational diabetes mellitus compared a control group.We have measured ANP BNP 35 otherwise healthy 45 gestational diabetic women between week 24 28 referred our unit cross-sectional study. Independent samples t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test was used for comparison two groups where appropriate.Mean homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), HbA1c,...

Objective: The present study evaluated the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) andultrasonography (US) in diagnosing placenta accreta cases anteriorly localized previa with a high risk placental adhesion abnormality. Material and Methods: A total 29 patients having at least one factor for underwent US MRI.
