Therefore, aim this study was adapt Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) into Turkish test validity reliability questionnaire. Total 111 children (59 male, 52 female) aged 2 17 years who had symptoms suggestive SRBD were enrolled consecutively. Demographic characteristics such as age gender all recorded. All parents...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum concentrations interleukin-6 (IL-6) in relation with hormonal and metabolic profile patients without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods: A total 40 women PCOS age-matched controls were eligible for the study. Hirsutism scores, as well IL-6 levels evaluated each subject.Results: Women exhibited higher body mass index (BMI) than (p < 0.05); however, not significantly increased when compared BMI-matched > 0.05). correlated positively...

Objective: Visfatin is one of the most recent proteins shown to be highly expressed in adipose tissue. The purpose this study was determine visfatin levels patients with endometrial cancer (EC).Methods: A total 90 (46 EC and 44 healthy controls) were included study. Fasting venous blood samples collected from all patients. Serum measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). correlation between serum clinicopathologic variables determined.Results: found higher (p < 0.001)....

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare maternal and umbilical cord serum levels the angiogenic anti-angiogenic factors in early- late-onset pre-eclamptic pregnancies as well normal pregnancies, which might have significant importance etiology pre-eclampsia. Materials Methods: This prospective case-control carried out with (early-onset, ≤ 34 weeks late-onset, >34 weeks) pregnant women. VEGF, PIGF, sFlt-1 sEng were measured before delivery findings compared. Results: conducted 15...

This study aimed to investigate maternal serum concentrations of s-Endoglin and compare with other inflammatory markers in prediction time delivery, pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture membranes (PPROM).Fifty five patients PPROM whose gestational age were between 2433 weeks 44 matched healthy pregnant women included present study. Maternal measured an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) compared including interleukin-6 (IL-6), white blood cell (WBC) count C-reactive...

Aim . The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the success different treatment modalities for management ectopic pregnancy (EP). Methods One hundred and ninety-seven patients with EP, were included in study. Patients treated either intramuscular methotrexate (Mtx) or surgical treatment. Results Mtx applied 97 (49.2%) patients. In 67 (69.1%), a single dose 30 (30.9%) multiple applied. Forty-seven (70.14%) successfully single-dose Mtx. multiple-dose group, rate 70% (21/30...

Objective: Despite the absence of a complete physiologic–pathologic understanding, common accepted theory for development preeclampsia is incomplete trophoblastic invasion leading to failed uterine and spiral arteriolar remodeling, causing maternal vascular endothelial dysfunction by secreted molecules in response decreased placental perfusion, hypoxia, ischemia. Placental angiogenesis especially ineffective early onset fetal morbidity/mortality rates are higher because further blood flow....

The aim of the present study was to explore possible relations maternal serum and amniotic fluid nitric oxide (NO) vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) concentrations with uterine artery Doppler indices (UtADs) in a healthy second trimester obstetric population. In this regard, levels NO VEGF-A were measured sera samples 36 subjects who their early pregnancy. mean for 110.3 ± 31.5 pg/ml 149.6 31.3 fluid. Mean 5.7 4.7 µmol 12.9 3.4 UtADs concurrently sample collections. value...

Each year, an estimated 529 000 maternal deaths occur worldwide. In literature, it is known that mortality can during pregnancy, peripartum and also in postpartum period. Although very rare, may after spontaneous abortion. present case, 37 year old G5P4 (Caesarean Section) women was admitted to Adnan Menderes University, Obstetrics Gynecology clinic with diagnosis of missed abortion at 18 weeks' gestation. She had been hospitalized the public maternity hospital for five days due abortus...

Elevated sFlt-1 and sEng is usually a clue for impending preeclampsia intrauterine growth restriction. Likewise, uterine artery Doppler ultrasound being investigated prediction of similar conditions. In this study, we aimed to explore the possible relations these two proteins in different body compartments with indices (UtAD) healthy second trimester obstetric population.Levels were measured serum amniotic fluid samples 43 patients. UtAD on days sample collections. Findings then analyzed...

Postnatal adaptations of cardiac hemodynamics in infants born vaginally or by caesarean section may be different. These functions were evaluated Doppler echocardiography to assess adaptation differences. Cardiac output, heart rate, stroke volume, mean arterial pressure, total systemic vascular resistance, ejection fraction, and ductus arteriosus diameter determined compared at 1, 24 72 h life 22 (group 1) 23 2). One hour after delivery, blood resistance found higher group 1 (P < 0.01, P...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect GnRH agonist or antagonist therapy on bleomycin-administered rats by examining ovarian follicle counts and AMH levels. A total 30 female Wistar albino aged 4–6 months were randomly divided into 4 groups. First, an intramuscular injection bleomycin (30 mg/m2) was administered all except control group 1st, 8th 15th days. (Group I) 0.1 mL saline those II) followed up without any further treatment. + III) subcutaneous triptorelin (1 mg/kg) at same...

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a benign cutaneous hamartoma characterized by intensely erythematous, pruritic, and inflammatory papules that occur as bands along the lines of Blaschko. There considerable clinical histological resemblance between ILVEN psoriasis, lichen striatus, planus, invasion psoriasis. The pathogenesis unknown. It regarded genetic dyskeratotic disease reflecting mosaicism. Here, case vulvar perianal condyloma superimposed presented.

Objective: The purpose of study was to investigate erythrocyte indices in patients with preeclampsia. Materials and Methods:The population consisted 102 preeclampsia (49 mild, 53 severe preeclampsia) 98 control pregnant patients.For the entire population, red blood cell indices, including baseline mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hemoglobin (MCH), concentration (MCHC), distribution width (RDW), (RBC) were measured by using an automatic counter.Results: In group, median RDW 15%...
