ackground Endothelial dysfunction plays a major role in erectile dysfunction (ED). Uric acid (UA) is a marker of endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesized that increased UA levels may be associated with ED and aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between, UA and ED in hypertensive patients. Methods. A total of 200 hypertensive patients who have a normal treadmill exercise test were divided into two groups based on the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) test (< 21 defined as ED n = 110, and ≥ 21 defined as normal erectile function n = 90). The differences between the ED and normal erectile function groups were compared and determinants of ED were analyzed. Main results. The prevalence of ED was found to be 55.0%. Office blood pressure level was comparable between groups. UA levels were significantly increased in the ED group (6.20 ± 1.56 vs 5.44 ± 1.32, p = 0.01). In a regression model, age [odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.08 (1.04–1.14), p = 0.001], smoking

Detailed ultrasound or detailed ultrasound or advanced (second level) ultrasound are synonymous. During the second level ultrasound, the baby’s face, hands and feet can be shown to the family in 4 dimensions, but the detailed ultrasound is mainly done in 2 dimensions. The important thing in detailed ultrasound is not whether the ultrasound device is 3 or 4 dimensional, even if it is not 3-4 dimensional. What is important in detailed ultrasound is the evaluation of a Perinatology (Risky Pregnancy) specialist who has received special training (subspecialization) on this subject. Because the Perinatology (Risky Pregnancy) specialist not only performs detailed ultrasound, but also evaluates how the risky pregnancy process should be followed and, if possible, makes the right interventions so that the pregnancy can progress healthily.
