This study was designed to explore matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels and MMP-9/NGAL ratio in women with and without endometriosis diagnosed surgically and/or ...

Aim: Retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4) has been correlated with different degrees of insulin resistance includinggestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Presence of risk factors for GDM is an indication for early screening.We ...

Objective: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known marker of infl ammation and infection in clinical practice. This study is designed to evaluate CRP levels in diff erent phases of menstrual cycle, which might end up ...

Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is a marker of ischemia elevated in different clinical conditions and its use for hypoxia in perinatology is of current interest. We aimed to investigate the association between maternal ...

Uterine compression sutures may be life and fertility saving interventions in management of uterine atony. However, unintended long-term outcomes may occur and there is scarce literature about management. Herein, management ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the peripheral blood components, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) andplatelet/lymphocyte ratios (PLR) in cervical cytological abnormalities.STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively analyzed 185 cases ...

Ischemia modified albumin is a novel marker of ischemia generated due to hypooxygenation and increased hydroxyl free radicals in low pH. The molecule has been licenced for clinical use as an early marker for acute coronary ...

Background and Objectives: A temporary deterioration in renal function during pneumoperitoneum has been reported, but the extent is not known. A new marker for the early detection of renal injury, neutrophil ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether levels of fetal hypoxia markers, S100 and ischaemia modified albumin (IMA) change in cases of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This case-control study included ...
