OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of cabergoline on endometrial vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) immunoexpression in an ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-one immature fema…
BACKGROUND: Although infertility is known as a chronic inflammatory condition, the effect of the increased inflammatory response on IUI success is not clear. Systemic inflammation can be calculated by applying various hematological markers.…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predictive role of inflammatory hematological markers on treatment success in in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients. METHODS: In this study, we analyzed the data from the patients who admitted to our IVF cente…
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…
BACKGROUND: We investigated the impact of the choice of catheter type and tenaculum use on pregnancy related outcomes in intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 338 consecutive IUI cycles were assessed…
In this study, our aim was to determine which factor is more correlated with the number of oocytes retrieved in patients with endometrioma compared with controls undergoing in vitro fertilisation-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) …
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the association between subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid autoantibodies with clinical pregnancy rate after intrauterine insemination (IUI) in euthyroid women. METHODS: In this prospective cohor…
OBJECTIVE: Fetuin-A is a well-known negative acute-phase protein and has been used liberally to predict vascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between serum human fetuin-A/alpha2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein…
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that vitamin D has an essential role in the reproductive system. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D levels in patients undergoing ovulation induction (OI), and subsequent int…
Objective: To investigate the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of premature ovarian failure.Method: Forty-eight women diagnosed with POF, and 82 women recruited as controls were included in this crosssectional study, between January 20…
BACKGROUND: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an invasive, uncomfortable, and painful procedure. Patients often experience considerable anxiety and stress before the procedure. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of preprocedure anx…
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) compared to CA-125 in patients with endometriomas. METHODS: This study was designed as a retrospective comparative study.…
BACKGROUND: There are limited data in the literature related to concomitant genital or extra-genital organ pathologies in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience with 183 patients…
AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of formoterol (β2 adrenergic receptor agonist) on peritoneal VEGF levels in rats with endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experimental endometriosis was constituted with implantatio…
