    With the wide common use of ultrasound, ovarian cysts of the fetus and neonate are more often detected. A case series of four infant with uncommon complications of antenatal ovarian cysts were presented. In the first case; autoamputated ovarian tissue was determined and disappeared during the follow up. The second and third case went under surgery. Histopathological results were reported as a torsional autoamputated hemorrhagic necrotic tuba-ovarian cyst. Abdominal ascites was determined postnatally due to rupture of neonatal ovarian cyst in the fourth case. The treatment approaches for ovarian cysts poses a therapeutic dilemma for the pediatrician and the pediatric surgeon. It has to be decided which patient should be referred for surgical therapy and which might be treated conservatively.

    Management of gestational diabetes mellitus: Selfefficacy and perinatal outcomes
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015-02-17) Gerçek, Emine; Şen, Hakan
    The purpose of this review is to give knowledge about effects on perinatal outcomes of self-efficacy in management of gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a significant health concern due to the potentially adverse outcomes for the mother and the fetus/infant. Close monitoring and treatment of GDM are important to the long-term health of a pregnant woman and her baby. More over, maternal metabolic control during pregnancy may positively impact women’s risk of later onset of type II diabetes and the risk of obesity and type II diabetes in their children. There are few studies which focus on selfefficacy and adoption of health behaviors in women with GDM; however, there is strong evidence demonstrating that health promotion behavior such as weight loss, exercise, healthy diet and self-monitoring blood glucose concentrations will decrease the risk of developing diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition, lifestyle modifications (e.g. weight loss, healthy diet, and exercise), compliance with physician appointments, and postpartum glucose screening are essential for early diagnosis and prevention of DM in women with GDM.
