Fetal growth restriction and reversed middle cerebral artery end-diastolic flow with subchorionic placental lake.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is frequently associated with uteroplacental insufficiency. Placental lakes are avillous spaces filled with maternal venous blood that usually do not compromise the pregnancy outcome; however, a few reports describe FGR in association with placental lakes. Reversed middle cerebral artery (MCA) end-diastolic flow is a rare event and a potential indicator of poor fetal outcome due to placental insufficiency.

Redefinition of the pelvic connective tissue: in situ histologic examination.

Objectives: : The objectives of this study were to find a common perspective in clinical and gross/systemic anatomy for the pelvic connective tissue (subperitoneal fascia) and to establish a new pelvic anatomy.

Methods: : The histologic sections from 5 fixed cadavers were obtained from a total of 17 fixed and 11 fresh cadavers. On the basis of our past surgical and research findings, the relationship between the pelvic organs and the pelvic connective tissue was observed from in situ histologic sections of the whole pelvis.

Amylase-producing ovarian carcinoma: A case report and a retrospective study.

► Amylase-producing ovarian carcinoma may mimic pancreatitis. ► Hyperamylasemia is common in ovarian carcinoma. ► Serum amylase may be a promising tumor marker.
