The prevalence of GDM in a Turkish population was low. The prevalence of GDM showed an increase with the ages of pregnant women, gestational age and DBP. This study demonstrates that the universal screening for GDM is not mandatory in our pregnant population. The cost of universal screening may be prohibitive in our population. Large prospective studies are needed to better analyze outcome data and efficacy of screening in adult pregnancies.
Splanchnic blood flow and splanchnic vascular impedance increased significantly in patients with advanced post-hepatitic cirrhosis. Splanchnic inflow must not exceed portal venous blood flow in patients with recanalized para-umbilical veins. Portal vein velocity and portal venous blood flow measurements alone are not useful parameters for discriminating patients with cirrhosis from healthy subjects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
