Objective: To elucidate the prognostic factors for intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle cancellation in patients with endometriosis-related infertility. Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study and conducted at the Assisted Reproductive Technology center of Uludag University School of Medicine, between the years 2011-2017. The electronic database was screened and infertile patients with endometriosis, without male factor infertility, systemic disease, or undefined adnexal mass, and aged

Purpose To report a case of a 34-year-old female with endometriosis and a complication presented with gross hematuria due to bladder injury after transvaginal oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization. Case Report A 34-year-old woman with endometriosis presented with gross hematuria 4 days after oocyte retrieval and was conservatively followed up. Results As an uncommon emerging situation after oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization procedure, gross hematuria is pointed as a complication with an endometriosis patient. Conclusions Although a transvaginal approach is accepted as a safe and simpler technique for oocyte retrieval, complications like adjacent organ injury should be kept in mind. Especially in patients with endometriosis, in whom pelvic anatomy is distorted due to adhesions, oocyte pick-up procedure should be carried out more carefully.

Introduction: Meckel-Gruber Syndrome was first described by J R Meckel in 1822. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, and is caused by the failure of mesodermal induction. The typical triad of Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MGS) involves meningo-encephalocele, polycystic kidneys and postaxial polydactyly. The worldwide incidence varies from 1 in 1.300 to 1 in 140.000 live births. Case: In this report, we present a case of MGS in which the diagnosis was made at 19 weeks of gestation based on ultrasonographic findings of the typical triad of the disease (encephalocele, polycystic kidneys, and polydactyly) These features were suggestive of the diagnosis of Meckel Gruber Syndrome (MGS). She had also placenta previa totalis. The patient was counselled regarding the lethal outcome of MGS. Unfortunately, the family did not approve the termination of pregnancy. At the 32nd week, she referred to hospital with complaints of vaginal bleeding and uterine contractions. An emergency cesarean section was perfomed due to plasental malposition. A 1380 gr, female fetus was delivered. First and 5th minute Apgar scores were 1 and 0, respectively. Consequently, the baby died after 45 minutes of neonatal resuscitation. Conclusion: MGS is a lethal disorder. One cannot speak about survival of the fetus because of the pulmonary hypoplasia. The parents should be counseled about prognosis of the fetus and the outcome. Counselers should strictly give information about the recurrence risk for the next pregnancies.

Ercan, Ilker/0000-0002-2382-290X; Guney, ibrahim/0000-0001-8290-6532 WOS: 000247821500008 PubMed: 17538981 Sexual dimorphic characteristics, which play an important role in human evolution studies and biological research, can be studied morphologically and metrically. Geometric morphometrics allows a better assessment of morphological characteristics. Statistical shape analysis has a long history in neuroanatomical and other research. The aim of this study was to identify shape differences of the corpus callosum between genders. Landmark coordinate data were collected from two-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging scans of 93 homogeneously aged patients, 45 men and 48 women. These data were analyzed using Euclidean distance matrix analysis and thin plate spline analysis. The general shape variability of the corpus callosum of men was greater than that of women (men, 0.134; women, 0.097). We found no significant difference between sexes in the general shape of the corpus callosum, but we did find significant differences in the distances between some landmarks. Deformation of the corpus callosum between men to women was mainly detected in the posterior of the corpus callosum. These results serve as a reference for future studies on shape alterations of the corpus callosum associated with certain conditions.
