    Adiponectin levels in gestational diabetes mellitus and in pregnant women without glucose intolerance
    (Wroclaw University of Medicine, 2015) Pala H.G.; Ozalp Y.; Yener A.S.; Gerceklioglu G.; Uysal S.; Onvural A.
    Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine serum adiponectin levels among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal pregnant women without glucose intolerance, and to investigate the relationship between these levels and clinical factors at the time of the diagnosis, at delivery and in the post-partum period. Material and Methods: The subjects' serum adiponectin concentration was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method at 24th-28th week of gestation, at delivery (in maternal circulation and the umbilical cord) and 24 h after delivery. The relationship between these groups' measurements and other established clinical-laboratory factors were investigated. Results: Serum adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower (p = 0.02) in GDM patients compared with patients with normal glucose tolerance at 24th-28th week of gestation. During delivery, maternal serum adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower (p = 0.03) in GDM patients compared with patients with normal glucose tolerance. In the post-partum period, serum adiponectin concentrations were significantly higher (p = 0.009) in GDM patients compared with patients with normal glucose tolerance. Umbilical cord adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower (p = 0.005) in GDM patients compared with patients with normal glucose tolerance. Conclusions: Adiponectin concentrations in GDM patients' circulation were regulated by changes in glucose and insulin metabolism. A reduction in serum adiponectin levels seems to play a role in GDM patients' insulin resistance. © Copyright by Wroclaw Medical University.

    The effect of short pregnancy interval on perinatal outcomes in Turkey: A retrospective study
    (Professional Medical Publications, 2019) Saral N.; Ulas S.C.
    Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of short pregnancy interval on perinatal outcomes. Methods: The research was a retrospective study. The material consisted of birth records of a state hospital for the last three years in Manisa in the western region of Turkey (2015-2017) (n:8961). The research population included women whose gestational interval was ≤two years and the gestational week was over 22 weeks (n:2089). Perinatal outcomes were assessed through preterm birth, stillbirth, and low birth weight. Results: The mean age of women who are in the research group is 26.7 ± 5.32. According to the perinatal results of women with a pregnancy interval of two years and shorter; 8.2% of women had birth before 37 weeks and 0.3% resulted in stillbirth. It was determined that 4.8% of infants were born with low birth weight. There was no difference between the short pregnancy interval and stillbirth or preterm birth. However, a significant difference was found between the low birth weight and short pregnancy interval. (p>0.05). Conclusions: Pregnancy interval does not affect preterm birth and stillbirth from perinatal outcomes, but has a significant effect on the birth weight of the newborn. © 2019, Professional Medical Publications.
