ABSTRACT Objectives We aimed to compare the intervessel distances on standard 3‐vessel views during fetal echocardiography across nonanomalous fetuses between 18 and 23 weeks' gestation. The measurements included main pulmonary artery (PA) ascending aorta (Ao) (PA‐Ao), Ao superior vena cava (SVC) (Ao‐SVC), PA SVC (PA‐SVC). Methods Throughout a 2‐year period, 95 low‐risk pregnancies as controls were included. Two evaluators measured from archived images. Scatter plots that gestational age,...

Objective: To evalute the association between Type-D personality and in vitro fertilization (IVF) success unexplained infertile women. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at IVF unit of tertiary center September 2017 - December 2019. The 21 items Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21) 14 Scale (DS14) were noted from 256 women undergoing an cycle. Results: Paternal educational level clinical pregnancy lower depression more prevalent Type-Ds than non-Type-Ds. There positive...

Background Neural tube defect is one of the most prevalent congenital malformations and it involves a variety ranging from anencephaly to spina bifida. Folic acid supplementation during pregnancy known reduce risk neural defects. Antiepileptic drugs have been associated with defects, which valproic acid. Protective effect folic on in patients using or other antiepileptic medicines has not clearly delineated uniformly previous clinical series. In this experimental animal study early chick...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects permanent placental injury due a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on feto-placental circulation. METHODS: In cross-sectional study, 83 pregnant women with planned deliveries were divided into two groups according their statuses pregnancy. Their demographic parameters, obstetric histories, and prenatal risks evaluated. A fetal Doppler ultrasound examination performed for all...

Preterm identification of cervical dilation in pregnant women leads to the application emergency cerclage with an expectation achieving term delivery. However, this is not always feasible. Short- and long-term neonatal complications post-preterm birth pose a significant challenge. It crucial anticipate potential understand possibilities postpartum development as they can be encountered. We aimed evaluate effect degree dilatation before ultrasound physical examination-indicated singleton...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels in preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and the presence fetal restriction subgroups. METHODS: A total 55 pregnant women with planned cesarean section were included cross-sectional study. They divided into two groups, namely, control (25) hypertensive disease (30). group evaluated by dividing it three subgroups (preeclampsia, hypertension) according clinical laboratory...

The aim of this study is to establish the normal calcaneus-metatarsal angles in order facilitate recognition fetal foot deformities. Therefore, a novel measurement technique was determined using ultrasound and applied nonanomalous fetuses 18th 23rd gestational weeks.

This study aims to investigate the predictive value of hemogram parameters in early preterm delivery (32 gestational weeks and below) among pregnant women who have undergone cervical cerclage, based on changes determined before cerclage procedure.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in sexual function between trimesters, and factors (in addition pregnancy) that influence during pregnancy.STUDY DESIGN: This observational conducted at a tertiary referral center with 372 pregnant women. Seventy-two the women did not complete questionnaire (rejections or missing data) overall response rate 80.6%. Among remaining women, 43 them excluded due depression. Beck Depression Inventory used Index female assess function....

İlk trimester tarama testi risk kategorilerinin gebelik sonuçları ile ilişkisi Özet Amaç: testinde nukal saydamlık (NT) artışının, fetal anomali varlığının ve kombine testte artışının genetik hastalıklarla bilinmektedir. Ancak, 1/250-1/2000 olarak belirlenen orta riskli grubun yönetimi tartışma konusudur. NT yüksek gruplarının sonuçlarına dair veriye ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Buna dayanarak mevcut araştırmada, ilk trimesterde patolojik bulgu saptanan fetüslerin sonuçlarının değerlendirilerek,...

Objective: The primary aim was to investigate whether preterm delivery an independent risk factor for blood or products transfusion in the intrapartum postpartum period, considered as a proxy severe obstetric bleeding. Material and Methods:Throughout 9-month-period, 216 uncomplicated singleton deliveries were included cross-sectional study after exclusion of maternal fetal morbidity, such chorioamnionitis, use medications including tocolytics.Maternal neonatal data evaluated compared across...

The primary aim was to investigate whether preterm delivery an independent risk factor for blood or products transfusion in the intrapartum postpartum period, considered as a proxy severe obstetric bleeding. Throughout nine-month-period, 216 uncomplicated singleton deliveries were included cross-sectional design following exclusion of maternal and fetal morbidity such chorioamnionitis, use medications including tocolytics. Maternal neonatal data evaluated compared across (between 24 0/7–36...

We aimed to evaluate the effect of degree cervical dilatation during physical examination-indicated cerclage presenting with premature and bulging fetal membranes on subsequent neonatal outcomes. Throughout a 10-year period, 72 singleton pregnancies in tertiary unit were included divided into two according pre-cerclage dilatation: Group 1 (n = 33) group 2 39) ≤3 cm > 3 cm, respectively. Latency gestational age at delivery, birth weight, morbidity mortality compared across groups. Logistic...
