In our study, we aimed to evaluate the necessity of performing routine echocardiography(ECHO) in the first 72hours in ELBW infants.Study Design:This study was planned retrospectively and observationally.Between June2016 and December2018,36 patients diagnosed with hemodynamically significant PDA(hsPDA) who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),with ≤28Gw or ≤1000g were included in this study.These babies were routinely performed ECHO for PDA between 24-72hours,although they were asymptomatic in the period from June2016 to December2017(n:23).Between January2018 and December2018, patients without PDA symptoms were expected to complete 72hours for routine PDA screening (n:13).The patients were divided into 2 groups as early ECHO group(EEG)(n=23) and late ECHO group (LEG)(n=13).In the presence of at least one of the clinical signs of systemic hypoperfusion and/or pulmonary hyperperfusion, symptomatic PDA was accepted and closure treatment was applied with ibuprofen(n: 23) or paracetamol(n: 5).While the two groups were compared in terms of demographic features,ECHO findings,and the state of taking closure therapy,patients receiving closure therapy were compared in terms of mortality and premature morbidity.Results:The average birth weight of 36 patients was 855.9(± 241.5)g, and the average week of birth was 26.4(± 2.1)Gw.It was observed that the two groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics.Although the findings of ECHO and treatment rates were similar between the two groups,it was observed that the EEG had earlier closure treatment(p = 0.03). In patients receiving closure treatment, performing early(n:17)and late(n:11) echocardiography showed no statistical difference in the long-term results.Conclusion:Performing early ECHO without symptoms in infants with ELBW may provoke the clinician to give PDA closure treatment earlier. In infants with ELBW,unnecessary closure treatment can be prevented by closely monitoring the symptoms of PDA and performing ECHO when necessary.","PeriodicalId":87233,"journal":{"name":"Clinical obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive medicine","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75313799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results and conclusions: Results showed increase of tension and its negative impact on frequency and satisfaction with sex life. Frequency of sexual intercourse decreased more for people who did not live with their partner. Increase of alcohol consumption and loss of job decreased satisfaction with sex life.

First-generation cephalosporin (cefazolin) is used prophylactically in the majority of operations. Rifamycin is a broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic that is bactericidal against gram (+) and gram (˗) microorganisms. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies on the use of rifamycin in antibiotic prophylaxis. In this study, we aimed to analyze whether there is a difference between the use of only cefazolin and only rifamycin in terms of surgical site infections. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred patients were included in this case-control study during the last quarter period of 2017. These patients (n=100) were divided into two groups according to their antibiotic use; 50 patients who received only 1 g cefazolin constituted Group 1, 50 patients who received only 250 mg topical rifamycin over the incision line based on surgeon’s preference constituted Group 2. RESULTS: The use of prophylactic topical rifamycin reduced the incidence of wound infection. compared with cefazolin. Surgical site infection was detected in 5 (10%) of the patients who received cefazolin, whereas surgical site infection was not observed in patients who received rifamycin (p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: The use of topical rifamycin is effective but does not imply that systemic antibiotics should replace prophylaxis. The use of rifamycin would aid in systemic antibiotic prophylaxis.","PeriodicalId":87233,"journal":{"name":"Clinical obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82661235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this surgical procedure, the parietal peritoneum which was cut off in traditional surgery is preserved. STUDY DESIGN: Data from women with apical prolapse of stage 2 or higher who underwent laparoscopic simple tunnel hysterosacropexy between October 1, 2017, and March 31, 2019, at the University of Health Sciences Diyarbakır Gazi Yasargil Education and Research Hospital, Diyarbakır, Turkey was retrospectively assessed. Patients were treated with laparoscopic simple tunnel hysterosacropexy; the meshes were anchored to the posterior cervical area, even in the presence of advanced multi-compartment vaginal prolapse. Data on the prolapse stage and urogenital functions were collected through clinical examinations, questionnaires at baseline, and 6 months after the operation. Results were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Based on positive ranks. Data are presented as mean, minimum, maximum or percentage according to variables. RESULT: Overall, 12 women were included in the analysis; the mean follow-up was 6 months. There were significant improvements in the complaints and POP-Q values of patients included in the study. There were not any complications during the intraoperative period and postoperative follow-ups. During the first six-month follow-up, there were not any recurrence of prolapse. The mean operative time was 146 minutes; there were no intraoperative visceral or vascular injuries. There was no recurrence or vaginal erosion. CONCLUSION: In patients with stage 2 and more severe uterine prolapse, laparoscopic simple tunnel hysterosacropexy can be performed without cutting the peritoneum. Since the peritoneum is not cut during the surgery; intestinal injury prevalence and mesh exposure rates are lower.","PeriodicalId":87233,"journal":{"name":"Clinical obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive medicine","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81737708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
