Evaluation of maternal serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels in fetal growth restriction and gestational hypertensive disease.
The objective of this study was to determine serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels in preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and the presence of fetal growth restriction subgroups. ⋯ Serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels are similar between pregnancies complicated with gestational hypertensive disease and normotensive pregnancies. However, serum fibroblast growth factor-23 levels were found to be lower in pregnancies complicated with gestational hypertensive disease with the presence of fetal growth restriction.

A new insight into the pathway behind spontaneous recurrent pregnancy loss: decreased CYR61 gene expression.
Investigating the potential role of CYR61 in recurrent pregnancy loss is critical for developing diagnostic approaches and treatments for recurrent pregnancy loss. ⋯ This study provides a basis for a detailed investigation of candidate biomarkers and molecular players involved in the development of recurrent pregnancy loss and for the development of potential treatment approaches to prevent recurrent pregnancy loss.

Fear, anxiety, and knowledge levels of women who underwent gynecologic surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the fear, anxiety, and knowledge level in women who underwent gynecological surgical procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. ⋯ This study demonstrated that women were afraid of COVID-19 infection during gynecological operation and due to hospitalization, sociodemographic characteristics affected the knowledge levels about COVID-19 infection, and the anxiety levels of the women. Planning appropriate interventions to decrease the fear and anxiety of women who undergo gynecological surgery during the pandemic is important to ensure that women adhere to their treatment and follow-up in the postoperative period.

Vaginal hysterectomy and transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for uterosacral ligament suspension for pelvic organ prolapse: 53 cases of single-surgeon experience.
The objective of this study was to describe the single-surgeon experience on transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for uterosacral ligament suspension in patients with severe prolapse who had concomitant vaginal hysterectomy. ⋯ Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery uterosacral ligament suspension is a feasible technique to treat severe pelvic organ prolapse with promising results for short-term efficacy and safety in patients who had concomitant vaginal hysterectomy. Longer follow-up periods are needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy profile of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for uterosacral ligament suspension.
