    Cord blood S100B levels in low-risk term pregnancies with meconium-stained amniotic fluid
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Hizli, Deniz; Altinbas, Sadiman Kiykac; Kosus, Aydin; Kosus, Nermin; Uysal, Sema; Hacivelioglu, Servet; Gelisen, Orhan
    Objective: The aim of this study was to compare cord blood S100B levels and cord blood gas parameters of term infants with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) to those infants with clear amniotic fluid. Methods: Term pregnant women at an active phase of labor and having MSAF were defined as the study group (n = 35) and pregnant women with clear amniotic fluid, and matched for age, parity, and gestational age were defined as the control group (n = 35). Cord blood S100B levels and gas parameters were measured. Results: LogS100B values of study and control groups were 2.40 +/- 0.21 and 2.43 +/- 0.29 pg/ml, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.675). LogS100B levels slightly increased as meconium thickened. (2.32 +/- 0.16, 2.41 +/- 0.17, and 2.44 +/- 0.28 pg/ml, respectively). However, no difference was found between groups (p = 0.438). Moreover, the study group had a statistically lower HCO3 level (21.80 vs 23.60 mmol/l) and a higher rate of base deficit (4.85 vs 3.25 mmol/l) than the control group. However, median HCO3 and base deficit values were within normal limits in both groups. Conclusion: The present study showed that cord blood S100B levels of infants born through MSAF were not different from those with clear amniotic fluid. This finding suggests that MSAF, regardless of its thickness, may not be related to brain damage in low risk term pregnancies.

    The Effect of Body Mass Index on Acne, Hirsutism and Menstrual Irregularity Symptoms in Turkish Adolescent Girls
    (Gazi Univ, Fac Med, 2013) Hizli, Deniz; Kosger, Hatice; Hacivelioglu, Servet; Kosus, Nermin; Kosus, Aydin; Kamalak, Zeynep; Akcal, Banu
    Purpose: The aim of the present study was to determine whether body mass index (BMI) influences polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) related symptoms such as acne, hirsutism and menstrual irregularity in a large healthy adolescent population. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to all volunteer female students at 15 different secondary schools. The subjects' BMI, birthweight, age at menarche, pattern of menstrual cycle and presence of acne or hirsutism complaints were recorded. Subjects with BMI of = 18.4 kg/m 2, 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2), 25-29.9 kg/m(2) and > 30 kg/m(2) were defined as group 1, group 2, group 3 and group 4, respectively. The relation between BMI and the symptoms of acne, hirsutism and menstrual irregularity was analyzed. Results: A total of 1309 students filled the questionnaires properly and included in the study. Of these students, 314 were in group 1, 899 in group 2, 81 in group 3 and 15 in group 4. The median ages of participants were 16 years (range 13-20 years) and median age at menarche was 13 years (range of 11-16 years). A total of 106 (8.1%) participants reported various menstrual irregularity. Underweighed girls had significantly less acne (p= 0.001) and hirsutism problems (p<0.001) compared to normo weighed girls. Hirsutism incidence was significantly higher in overweighed girls than in normo weighed subjects (p<0.001). Conclusion: The present study provided the prevalence of PCOS related symptoms in population, including menstrual irregularity, acne and hirsutism according to BMI in a large adolescent population. Our results showed that menstrual irregularity was not significantly increased as BMI increased, however acne and hirsutism problems were significantly increased as BMI increased.
