Article Association of Maternal Obesity and Fetal Gender With Preeclampsia(2003) Üstün, Y.; Engin Üstün, Y.; Zeteroǧlu, Ş.; Şahin, G.; Kamaci, M.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of maternal obesity and fetal gender in the pathoge-nesis of preeclampsia and to determine the fetal gender ratio and difference of body mass index in normal and preeclamptic group. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective study design, in one year period, one of every 10 normal pregnancies (n=59) and all preeclamptic pregnancies were enrolled into the study (n=42). Clinical characteristics recorded included maternal age, body mass index, gravidity, parity, estimated gestational age, mode of delivery, neonatal birth weight, and fetal gender. RESULT(s): There were no statistically significant differences in maternal age, gravidity and parity between the groups. Body mass index was significantly higher in preeclamptic group (p=0.001) but no difference was found in fetal gender between the groups. CONCLUSION(s): Maternal obesity has a probable role in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia but fetal gender seems to play no role.Article Thoracopagus: a Case of Conjoined Twins(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2020) Küçükbaş, G.N.; Turkyilmaz, G.; Şahin, G.Conjoined twins originate from abnormal divergence of the embryonic plaque after 12th day of fertilization causing shared organ systems. The prevalence varies between 1/50.000 and 1/200.000 and diagnosis is possible by advanced ultrasonographic imaging techniques. Despite limited number of successful cases in the literature, conjoined twins have poor prognosis and management usually requires termination. In this study we present a 22 year-old, nulliparous woman in 14th gestational week without specific obstetric history diagnosed with thoracopagus. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
