Maternal and fetal serum homocysteine levels were found to be significantly higher in severe pre-eclampsia group compared to mild pre-eclampsia and control groups suggesting that elevated serum levels of homocysteine might be associated with severity of pre-eclampsia. On the other hand it seems like elevated serum homocysteine levels were not associated with deficiency of folic acid and vitamin B12.

CRP and CA-125 are elevating markers in preeclampsia.

It has been concluded that performing accurate delivery technique and immediate evaluation-orthopedic consultation of the newborn in the presence of forced obstetrical maneuver are important.

A total of 56 semen samples was collected from men in the ICSI program. The female partners of all men were under 35 years of age. Sperm chromatin integrity was evaluated by staining the spermatozoa with acridine orange. > 56% red fluorescence was taken as abnormal chromatin status. A significant negative association was found between the percentage of sperm with DNA fragmentation and fertilization rate. Increased red fluorescence indicated impaired fertilization outcome. Good quality embryo rates were significantly lower in abnormal AO stained group. Chromatin damage precedes the loss of fertilization potential and poor embryo quality.
