Item Oncological and obstetric outcomes after fertility-sparing radical abdominal trachelectomy for early stage cervical cancer: a tertiary centre's 10 years' experience(2019) Ayhan, Ali; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Sahin, Hanifi; Kocaman, Eda; Tunc, Mehmet; Haberal, Asuman Nihan; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 30371139; AAE-6482-2021The aim of this study is to present our clinical experience about fertility-sparing procedures in early stage cervical cancer and its obstetrical and oncological outcomes. Between the years 2006 and 2016, a total of 22 early stage cervical cancer patients who underwent a fertility-sparing radical abdominal trachelectomy in our clinic were retrospectively analysed. The median age was 33 (range: 28-39) years. The median follow-up was 47 (range: 22-125) months. Five patients (22.7%) had Stage IA1, three patients had (13.6%) Stage IA2, and 14 patients (63.6%) had Stage IB1 disease. Only one patient had a recurrence. A pregnancy was obtained in five patients (22.7%) and one of them (20%) had a live birth. A pregnancy was obtained spontaneously in two patients (40%), whereas assisted reproductive techniques were used in three of the patients (60%). A miscarriage occurred in two patients (40%), and one of them was within the first trimester and the other was within the second trimester.Item Maternal and cord blood homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, and B-type natriuretic peptide levels at term for predicting congenital heart disease of the neonate: A case-control study(2019) Sahin-Uysal, Nihal; GUlumser, Cagri; Kocaman, Eda; Varan, Birgul; Bayraktar, Nilufer; Yanik, Filiz; 0000-0001-5385-5502; 0000-0002-7886-3688; 0000-0002-1741-7035; 0000-0002-4066-9038; 31256695; AAA-9475-2020; Y-8758-2018; C-6543-2018Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of the metabolic markers homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, and B-type natriuretic peptide in maternal and cord blood for detecting congenital heart disease. Methods: Homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, and B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations in maternal and cord blood samples at term were measured in the case (n = 42) and control (n = 43) groups with and without fetal congenital heart disease, respectively. Additionally, newborns with congenital heart disease were divided into two subgroups: those with (n = 30) and without (n = 8) 6-month infant survival. The case and control groups and case subgroups were compared with each other with respect to maternal age, gravidity, parity, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, maternal and cord blood levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, and B-type natriuretic peptide, and arterial cord blood pH and base excess values. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows, version 22.0. The Student's t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the chi(2) test were used where appropriate. A p value of < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mean maternal age, birth weight and median gravidity, parity and gestational age at delivery were not significantly different between the case and control groups, as well as between the case subgroups (all p > .05). Concentrations of metabolic markers in maternal blood were not significantly different between the two groups (p > .05). Homocysteine and B-type natriuretic peptide levels in cord blood samples were significantly higher, whereas folate levels were significantly lower in the case group compared with the control group (all p < .05). Cord blood B-type natriuretic peptide levels were significantly higher (p < .05) and arterial cord blood pH values were significantly lower (p < .05) in the case subgroup without 6-month infant survival compared with the case subgroup with 6-month infant survival. Conclusion: High cord blood B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine levels and low cord blood folate levels at term may be useful for predicting congenital heart disease in the neonate. Neonates with congenital heart disease who have high cord blood B-type natriuretic peptide and low pH values may have adverse outcomes.
