The aim of the study is to analyze the correlation between study habits and attitudes and metacognitive readingcomprehension self-awareness, reading comprehension and reading attitude of fifth-grade students. 313 students (193female, 188 male) consisted the sample group of the study using relational screening model. SSHA-Survey of StudyHabits and Attitudes, Form C”, “Metacognitive Reading Comprehension Self-Awareness Scale”, “ReadingComprehension” and, “Reading Attitudes Scale” were used. Moreover, students’ level of Turkish course success hasbeen identified by their grades from school reports of the first term of fifth grade. As the result of the study, it wasfound that the study orientation scores of the students were higher than the average and that their study attitudes werehigher than their studying habits. There was a mid-scale, positive and significant correlation between thesub-dimensions of their studying attitudes and habits. The levels of correlation between students’ success in Turkishcourse and their study orientation; between their metacognitive awareness of reading comprehension, readingcomprehension and studying habits with their studying orientation; between their metacognitive awareness of readingcomprehension, reading comprehension and reading attitude with study orientation, and between their metacognitiveawareness of reading comprehension and reading attitude with their study attitudes was found to be positive, mid-scaleand significant. However, the level of correlation between their metacognitive awareness of reading comprehensionand reading comprehension was found to be positive, low-scale and significant.

Objective: To study the prostanoid profile of the endometria of patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF), unexplained infertility (UIF), and recurrent miscarriages (RM), and to compare them with the endometria of healthy fertile controls. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): Fifteen patients with RIF, 18 patients with UIF, 16 patients with RM, and 23 fertile controls were recruited. Intervention(s): Endometrial samples were taken during the window of implantation. After tissue homogenization and extraction, analysis with ultra-performance liquid chromatography diode array detector electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry was performed. Main Outcome Measures: Concentrations of prostaglandin (PG) D1,

Background Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is associated with major diagnostic difficulties as it has many atypical symptoms and its imaging findings are similar to those of many other diseases. Case Report We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with a complex cystic mass in her pelvis and a 2-month history of pain. Thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed the following: (1) multiple supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, and abdominal pathologic lymph nodes with central hypoattenuation; (2) sternal and dorsal vertebral bone destruction with a soft tissue mass; and (3) multiple hypoattenuating masses in the liver. 18F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) revealed pathologic uptake in the defined areas, which were similar to metastases. Chest X-ray was normal. Diffuse metastatic disease was suspected clinically, but careful analysis of the imaging findings and the final pathologic results revealed multisystemic extrapulmonary TB. Clinical and radiological recovery was significant after anti-TB treatment at the 6-month follow-up. Conclusion Extrapulmonary TB without pulmonary involvement is associated with major diagnostic difficulties, especially with PET-CT. However, recognition and understanding of the CT or MR imaging spectrum can aid in the correct diagnosis and management of the disease.

Aim In this study, we aimed to investigate the soluble endoglin (sEng) levels in pregnant women with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to examine the possible relation of the sEng levels with the time remaining to delivery and maternal and fetal complications. Methods A total of 42 pregnant women diagnosed with FGR were retrospectively reviewed. Using the maternal blood samples it is at the collected 24‐37 gestational weeks, the sEng levels were measured. Fetal biometry measurements, umbilical artery, uterine artery, middle cerebral artery Doppler indices were documented. Results Of all patients, 17 (40%) were diagnosed with early‐onset FGR, while 25 (60%) were diagnosed with late‐onset FGR. Abnormal Doppler findings were present in 25 (60%) patients. Of 42 newborns, 18 (42%) were hospitalised in the neonatal unit. The mean sEng level calculated by taking the average of the first and second blood samples was 63.24 ± 49.83 ng/mL. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean sEng levels between those who gave birth within four, three, and two weeks after the diagnosis of FGR and those who did not. There was a positive significant correlation between the mean sEng levels and systolic blood pressure (r = 0.319, P = .04). Conclusions We did not find a statistically significant relationship between the sEng level and the time remaining to the time of delivery in pregnant women with FGR. We found no statistically significant difference in sEng level between the groups in pregnant women with fetuses with FGR with or without maternal and fetal complications.
