Article Comparison of Anterior Uterocervical Angle in Unexplained Primary Infertile and Primigravid Cases(Bayrakol Medical Publisher, 2022) Kaya, Firat; Babayeva, Gulchin; Purut, Yunus Emre; Gul, AbdulazizAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that narrow angle may prevent sperm passage and thus cause infertility by comparing anterior uterocervical angle (A-UCA) in patients with unexplained infertility and primigravid cases at early gestational week.Material and Methods: This study included 126 cases, including 75 cases of unexplained infertility and 51 cases with a diagnosis of primigravid at early gestational week, who applied to the Van Yuzuncu Yil University Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic between February 2021 and October 2021. A-UCA values of infertile cases were reviewed. Primigravid cases with beta-hCG values of < 1000 mIU/ml were included in the study. A-UCAs were measured with transvaginal ultrasonography and while the bladder was empty.Results: In our study, no statistically significant difference was found between the increase in beta-hCG value and A-UCA value in the pregnant group (p > 0.05). Discussion: It was found that the A-UCA did not show a significant difference between primigravid cases at early gestational weeks and unexplained primary infertile cases.Article Do the Levels of Hepcidin and Tenascin-C Change in Patients With Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes? Can These Markers Help in Diagnosis? Hepcidin and Tenascin-C Levels in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes(Bayrakol Medical Publisher, 2023) Ildogan, Betul Tuncer; Ercan, Fedi; Saglam, Ceren; Purut, Yunus Emre; Kaya, Firat; Karaaslan, OnurAim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the role of tenascin-C and hepcidin levels in the diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Material and Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study conducted at Van Yuzuncu Yil University (YYU), Dursun Odabasi Medical Center Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic between 31.03.2021 and 15.03.2022. One hundred patients aged 18 to 45 years diagnosed with PPROM at 24 to 37 weeks of gestation were included in the study as the "case group", and 100 healthy pregnant women were included as a "control group". Demographic data and laboratory parameters of the patients, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocyte, neutrophil, hepcidin, and tenascin-C levels, were recorded. Results: Compared to the control group, CRP, leukocytes, and neutrophil levels were statistically significantly higher in the PPROM group (p<0.05). Hepcidin value was statistically significantly lower in the PPROM group compared to the control group (p = 0.003); tenascin-C levels between the two groups were not statistically different (p = 0.161). Discussion: Hepcidin levels can be used in the diagnosis of PPROM. Multicenter randomized controlled studies with more cases and parameters are needed.
