    Impact of endometrioma and bilaterality on IVF / ICSI cycles in patients with endometriosis
    (2021) Yilmaz, Nafiye; Ceran, Mehmet Ufuk; Ugurlu, Evin Nil; Gulerman, Hacer Cavidan; Ustun, Yaprak Engin; 0000-0003-1923-2373; 32619727; AAZ-4863-2021
    Aim: Endometriosis, one of the most common gynecological disorder, is a challenging disease observed in 20 %-40 % of subfertile women. Endometriomas affect 17-44 % of women with endometriosis. Because endometrioma has detrimental effects on fertility, many of these women need Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to conceive. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of endometrioma presence and impact of bilaterality over In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) outcomes. Method: The study was designed retrospectively. A total of 159 women enrolled in IVF / ICSI cycles were included. Patients were divided into two groups as Endometrioma group (n: 73) and control group (n:86). In Endometrioma group, subgroup analysis was performed according to whether endometrioma was unilateral or bilateral. Demographic characters, clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. SPSS was used for analysis. Results: In endometrioma group, although basal FSH levels was higher than control group, it was within normal limits, while estradiol levels was lower (p < 0.001, p 0.042, respectively). Antral follicle count (AFC), dominant follicle number, total oocyte count, MII oocyte numbers were found to be significantly lower, whereas numbers of embryos achieved, clinical pregnancy rates (PR) and live birth rates (LBR) were found to be similar.There were no statistically significant differences in terms of Antimullerian Hormon (AMH) levels, oocyte and embryo quality, the numbers of embryos achieved, PR and LBR between unilateral and bilateral endometrioma groups. Conclusion: This study shows that presence of endometrioma negatively effects fertility parameters albeit no significant effect over embryo quality, PR and LBR whereas bilaterality doesn't have any influence over any fertility parameters and PR.

    A Comparison of the BEAM and MITO/MEL Conditioning Regimens for Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Hodgkin Lymphoma: An Analysis of Efficiency and Treatment-Related Toxicity
    (2020) Yeral, Mahmut; Aytan, Pelin; Gungor, Burcu; Boga, Can; Unal, Ali; Koc, Yener; Kaynar, Leylagul; Buyukkurt, Nurhilal; Eser, Bulent; Ozdogu, Hakan; 0000-0002-8902-1283; 0000-0002-0895-4787; 0000-0002-9680-1958; 0000-0002-9580-628X; 32605899; AAD-5542-2021; AAE-1457-2021; AAD-6222-2021
    In this multicenter retrospective study, we compared the efficacy and toxicity of BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and MITO/MEL (mitoxantrone, melphalan) preparation regimens. The 3-year expected overall survival for the MIT/MEL and BEAM were 86.1% and 91.3%, respectively. The MITO/MEL seems to be as effective as the BEAM but has better tolerability in terms of pulmonary toxicity and may be used as an alternative option. Background: Approximately half of patients with relapsed chemosensitive disease achieve robust responses with BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and autologous stem cell rescue. The scarcity of comparative studies further limits alternative treatment protocols, such as the MITO/MEL (mitoxantrone, melphalan) protocol. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, we compared the BEAM and MITO/MEL regimens used before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in terms of efficacy and side effects in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Data met international accreditation rules. Before ASCT, 108 patients received the MITO/MEL, and 34 patients received the BEAM. Results: The median follow-up time was 36 months in the MITO/MEL group (range, 3-178) and 23 months in the BEAM group (range, 4-99). After ASCT, the 3-year expected overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 86.1% and 86.1% for the MITO/MEL group and 91.3% and 76.5% for the BEAM group, respectively. Although 50% of patients developed febrile neutropenia attacks in the MITO/MEL group, this rate was 91.1% in the BEAM group. The grade II and higher rates of hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, and cardiac toxicities were similar in both groups. However, the rate of pulmonary toxicity was determined to be 1.9% in the MITO/MEL group and 29.4% in the BEAM group (P < .001). Conclusion: The MITO/MEL conditioning regimen seems to be as effective as the BEAM regimen but has better tolerability in terms of pulmonary toxicity and may be used as an alternative option if necessary, depending on the comorbidity status of the patient.
