Objective: Isolated tubal torsion in pregnancy is a rare condition we want to present this case. Case(s): In our study, we present a 23-year-old woman primigravida at 37 weeks of gestation with acute right lower abdominal pain. The clinical and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings led to diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Emergency exploratory laparotomy and cesarean section were performed. A twisted right Fallopian tube and Morgagni’s cyst was noted and right salpingectomy was performed. Conclusion: Although isolated tubal torsion during pregnancy is very rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in pregnancy. Early surgical intervention will decrease obstetric morbidity.
Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, particularly in patients aged 60-70 years. Several studies have explored the potential of ABO blood groups as markers for early detection of different types of cancers; however, no conclusive study has been conducted for evaluating the effectiveness of ABO blood groups in early detection of EC. To determine the prevalence of the ABO blood groups in patients with EC, examine whether certain blood groups are highly associated with early-stage EC, and investigate the relationship between the ABO blood groups and clinical and pathological prognostic parameters in patients with EC. Materials and Methods: The prevalence of ABO blood groups in patients who were operated between 2010 and 2020 and diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and non-metastatic, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics early stage (I and II) EC was investigated. Results:The blood group distribution of 575 patients in the study population was found to be A>O>B>AB, in order of frequency. The blood groups B, A, and AB were the most frequently found in women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia, endometrioid adenocarcinoma or uterine sarcoma, and non-endometrioid adenocarcinoma, respectively (p>0.05). The blood groups A, O, and B were the most common in grades 1, 2, and 3 EC tumors, respectively. Although the age of patients at menopause and diagnosis was found to be lower in those with the blood group AB than in the patients with other blood groups, no significant difference was found among the blood groups in terms of the mean age at diagnosis and menopause (p>0.05). Conclusion:The results indicate that blood groups have no diagnostic value in the early detection of EC, and hence, cannot be used to predict the risk of EC subtypes, tumor grade, or menopause age.
Objective: YouTube is one of the most popular websites globally and its content is not limited to entertainment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability, quality and quantity of information and surgical steps in YouTube videos about laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh for the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (LLS). Material and Methods: A search on YouTube was performed with the key words; " laparoscopic lateral suspension’’, ‘’lateral suspension ", ‘’ pelvic organ prolapse surgery’’, ‘’POPS with mesh’’, ‘’Pelvic Organ Prolapse Suspension’’. Each video was further analysed in terms of reliability, quality and quantity of information. Results: A total of 44 videos were evaluated after excluding 36 of the 88 videos associated with LLS. According to the usefulness score, the videos were divided into two groups. 61.4%(n=27) of the videos were in GroupI (not useful and slightly useful) and 38.6% (n=17) were in GroupII ( useful and very useful). There was no difference between the groups in terms of video length, number of views, number of likes, number of dislikes, number of comments and number of subscribers. A Spearman’s rank correlation analysis found no correlation between the usefulness score and like ratio, views ratio, like / view rate, like/subscriber rate, view/subscriber rate, VPI rates. Conclusion: Since the videos uploaded to YouTube do not pass a preliminary examination, their reliability is low even if they are uploaded by health professionals. There is no relationship between quantitative information of the LLS videos and the usefulness scores of the videos.
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.
