Objective. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting 5–10% of women in reproductive age. Insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, hypertension, and obesity are metabolic disorders accompanying the syndrome. PCOS is a chronic proinflammatory state and the disease is associated with endothelial dysfunction. In diseases with endothelial damage, hearing in high frequencies are mostly effected in early stages. We evaluated extended high frequency hearing loss in PCOS patients. Material Methods. Forty women diagnosed as PCOS and 25 healthy controls were included in this study. Age and BMI of PCOS and control groups were comparable. Each subject was tested with low (250–2000 Hz), high (4000–8000 Hz), and extended high frequency audiometry (8000–20000). Hormonal and biochemical values including LH, LH/FSH, testosterone, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-I, and CRP were calculated. Results. PCOS patients showed high levels of LH, LH/FSH, testosterone, fasting insulin, glucose, HOMA-I, and CRP levels. The hearing thresholds of the groups were similar at frequencies of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz; statistically significant difference was observed in 8000–14000 Hz in PCOS group compared to control group. Conclusion. PCOS patients have hearing impairment especially in extended high frequencies. Further studies are needed to help elucidate the mechanism behind hearing impairment in association with PCOS.

The effect of ISSC and early breastfeeding on mothers was documented for the first time in this study. Our results demonstrated ISSC and early breastfeeding during C/S reduce maternal oxidative stress.

Amaç: Kliniğimizde endometrial örnekleme yapı-lan olgularda, endikasyon ile histopatolojik sonuçlar arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntem:Kliniğimize Ocak 2013-Ocak 2014 tarihleri arasında başvuran ve gebelik dışı herhangibir endikasyonla endometrial örnekleme yapılan 744 olgu retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Veriler hastanemiz kadın hastalıkları ve doğum kliniği ve patoloji kliniği arşivinden alındı. İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS 13 programı kullanıldı. Bulgular:Olguların ortalama yaşları 43.6 +/-8.3 idi. Endometrial örnekleme endikasyonları sırasıy-la menometroraji/menoraji (%87), postmenopozal kanama (%9.5), servikal polip (%1.9), myom uteri (%1.6) idi. Histopatolojik sonuçlar ise sırayla proliferatif/sekretuar endometrium (%72.8), endometrial polip (%9.5), basit atipisiz hiperplazi (%7.9), atrofik endometrium (%3.5), endometrit (%3.2), yetersiz materyal (%0.9), endometrium kanseri (%0.8), basit atipili hiperplazi (%0.7), komplex atipili hiperplazi (%0.3), komplex atipisiz hiperplazi (%0.3) idi. Endometrium kanseri görülme oranı postmenapozal kanaması olan hasta grubunda %5.6 ile diğer gruplara oranla anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu.Sonuç: En sık endometrial örnekleme endikasyonu menoraji/menometroraji iken endometrium kanseri açısından riskli grubun postmenopozal kanamalı olgular olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu nedenle postmenapozal kanamalı hastalarda ciddi endometrial değerlendirme ve örnekleme yapılmasi gerekir. Ayrıca servikal polip olgularında endometriumunun değer-lendirilmesinin gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.Anahtar kelimeler: endometrial örnekleme, anormal uterin kanama, endometrium kanseri ABSTRACT Aims: To evaluate indications and histopathological diagnoses of endometrial samplings in our clinic. Materials-Methods:Seven hundred and fourty four subjects who required endometrial biopsy to be taken for any indication other than pregnancy between January 2013 and January 2014 were included in the study. Data collected retrospectively from Dumlupinar University Evliya Celebi Training and Research Hospital obstetrics and gynecology clinic database and pathology clinic. Statistical analysis of data was performed using SPSS for Windows 13 package programme.Results: Mean age of the subjects was 43.6 ± 8.3. Indications of endometrial sampling were menorrhagia/menometrorrhagia (87%), myoma uteri (1.6%), postmenopausal bleeding (9.5%), cervical polyp (1.9%). Histopathologic diagnoses were as follows: secretory/proliferative endometrium in 72.8%, atrophic endometrium in 3.5%, simple atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 0.7%, simple typical endometrial hyperplasia in 7.9%, complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 0.3%, complex typical endometrial hyperplasia in 0.3%, atrophic endometrium in 3.5%, endometrium cancer in 0.8%, and endometrial polyp in 9.5%. Insufficient sampling material was reported in 0.9%. Endometrium cancer was detected in 5.6% of postmenopausal group. Conclusion:The most common endometrial sampling indication was menorrhagia/menometrorrhagia, while endometrium cancer was detec...

Pyogenic liver abscess during pregnancy is an extremely rare condition. We report a case of 33-year-old, 23-week pregnant woman with pyogenic liver abscess. She was still in the hospital for medical observation of fever, when a sudden episode of tachycardia with a pulse of 210 beats per minute and tachypnea with a respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute was encountered. At that moment, her fever was 39.6°C (103.28 Fahrenheit). The abdominal ultrasound stated a calcific echogenic mass with a measure of 6 cm in the liver region. Given the sonographic characteristics noted, a liver abscess was suspected. Our case was successfully treated with an ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration of the abscess and a wide spectrum antibiotic. At 38 weeks of gestation, an elective cesarean delivery was performed. The female neonate weighed 3200 g with APGAR scores of 9 and 9 at the first and fifth minutes, respectively.

Oral daily treatment with Angeliq reduces CIMT and climacteric complaints including vertigo/dizziness in postmenopausal women. They may relate to anti-androgenic and anti-mineralocorticoid effects of Angeliq, respectively.
