After induction with oxytocin because of premature rupture of the membranes, a caesarean section had to be performed on a primigravid patient owing to fetal distress. At laparotomy a fundal rupture of the uterus was found. Rupture of the primigravid uterus in the absence of obstetric trauma or congenital abnormality is rare, and apparently only 4 cases have been reported. The condition does not...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to evaluate some laboratory and clinical factors in the prediction of latency period for pregnant patients complicated with preterm premature rupture of the membranes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-five pregnant patients between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation, who were admitted to University of Çukurova School of Medicine Hospital with the diagnosis of preterm pr...

BACKGROUND Adverse outcomes of pregnancy are a challenging health-care problem. Prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes is important to prevent the morbidities of the foetus and the mother. AIMS To study the clinical interest of fetal nasal bone length in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in the first trimester of pregnancy.

BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and caspase-1 in fetal membrane and placental tissues of patients with premature rupture of membrane (PROM), and to explore their role in PROM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety women participated in this study: a control group of 30 healthy pregnant women, 30 with PPROM, and 30 with TPROM. Immunoh...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the value of detecting insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in the cervical-vaginal secretion in the prediction of delivery in women with clinically uncorfirmed preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 87 women, gestational age between 20 and 36 weeks were enrolled into this prospective s...
