The aim of this study was to determine the state of aging anxiety in middle-aged women. ⋯ In addition to working outside the home, women are also burdened with duties inside the home. To improve their quality of life, women need to share many of the tasks imposed on them with other family members. To reduce the anxiety experienced by women during the climacteric period, it is recommended to provide psychosocial support to women and consider this issue in health policies. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, have important duties to reduce anxiety and stress, which constitute the basis of many chronic diseases. It is recommended that nurses, who are health ambassadors, direct women with anxiety to psychological support services through screenings they will conduct for women during this period.

The role of first-trimester systemic immune-inflammation index for the prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-monocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratios calculated in the first trimester as inflammatory markers in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis. ⋯ We believe that systemic immune-inflammation index and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio values measured in the first-trimester complete blood count parameters are effective in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus but are not effective in determining insulin requirement.

Relationship between platelet-related parameters and new-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary bypass surgery.
Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in mean platelet volume and platelet values during the spring and autumn seasons in patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery and the possible effect of these occurrences on postoperative atrial fibrillation. ⋯ In this study, we first demonstrated that mean platelet volume and platelet mass index values were higher in patients in the autumn months. Additionally, for the first time in the literature, we showed that there is a significant relationship between platelet mass index value and the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass graft.

Etiology and perinatal outcomes between early and late-onset nonimmune hydrops fetalis.
We aimed to compare the etiology and perinatal outcomes of non-immune hydrops fetalis diagnosed early- and late-onset at our hospital. ⋯ In this study, most of the fetuses diagnosed with early-onset non-immune hydrops fetalis were born in the first 24 weeks. Additionally, live birth rates and cardiac anomalies were observed to be higher in late-onset non-immune hydrops fetalis.

Determination of microbiota awareness levels in women planning pregnancy.
It was recently discovered that the microbiota has a significant impact on pregnancy, gynecological, and neonatal health. However, studies indicate that people struggle to understand topics, such as microbiota, microbiome, probiotics, and prebiotics, or comprehend them inaccurately or incompletely. Understanding the human microbiota and probiotics that can regulate the microbiota helps women develop daily habits for both healthy nutrition and health protection. The aim of this study was to assess the microbiota awareness levels of women who are planning pregnancy. ⋯ It is recommended that training programs focusing on the relationship between microbiota and health in women, such as "microbiota and its importance in women's health" and "microbiota and disease relationship," be organized and women would be encouraged to participate in these training programs.
