There is an imbalance between lipid peroxidation and serum vitamin E levels in pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Increased lipid peroxidation is well correlated with the increase in systolic and diastolic BP measurements and serum uric acid levels.

The incidence was calculated to be 0.38 per 1,000 deliveries. According to the evaluated data of 364 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 31 years (range, 15-59 years). A histopathological diagnosis was present for 45.1% of the patients, and invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and PSTTs were diagnosed in 22.3% (n=81), 18.1% (n=66) and 4.7% (n=17) of the patients, respectively. Regarding final prognosis, 352 (96.7%) of the patients had remission, and 7 (1.9%) had persistence, whereas the disease was mortal for 5 (1.4%) of the patients. Conclusions: Because of the differences between countries, it is important to provide national registration systems and special clinics for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of GTN.

Background/aim: Several authorities advocate the use of hypogastric artery ligation (HAL) in the treatment of cases of obstetrical hemorrhage related to uterine atony or placenta accreta. We assessed the morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent HAL as a component of emergency procedures to control life-threatening uterine bleeding in a tertiary-care university hospital. Materials and methods:In this retrospective study, the clinical data of 24 eligible patients who underwent HAL between 2010 and 2013 in a university hospital to prevent or control severe uterine bleeding were collected and analyzed with regard to intraoperative and postoperative findings.Results: In the study population, there were nine patients with uterine atony managed without hysterectomy after HAL and there were 15 patients with placenta previa complicated with placenta accreta after HAL. Of these 15 patients, seven underwent hysterectomy and eight were managed without hysterectomy. Overall, the clinical features of the patients managed with or without hysterectomy were similar for patients with uterine atony and placenta previa. Conclusion:We suggest that if HAL is performed in a surgical setting as mentioned in this study, it may be a life-saving and fertilitysparing procedure.
