Article Synopsis
- Whipple disease, caused by the bacterium Tropheryma whipplei, is a rare infection that primarily impacts the gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems but can also affect the heart, brain, and lungs, making diagnosis difficult due to varied symptoms.
- A case study of a young woman revealed miliary lesions in the pelvis during laparoscopy, initially leading to a diagnosis of granulomatous salpingitis and peritonitis, but ultimately, Tropheryma whipplei was identified as the cause.
- Timely and appropriate antibiotic treatment is crucial for a positive outcome in Whipple disease, emphasizing the need for increased awareness among healthcare professionals.
: Mutations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and fumarate hydratase (FH) give rise to various familial cancer syndromes, with these alterations being characteristic of certain types of histomorphologically specific leiomyomas that hold significant predictive value. : This study presents two cases of uterine leiomyomas exhibiting rare histomorphological and genetic characteristics, which are crucial for prognosis and further treatment. : Distinct histopathological features such as marked nuclear atypia, intracellular eosinophilic globules, and abnormal intratumoral vessels raise suspicion for specific leiomyoma subtypes, which carry predictive significance for additional hereditary cancer syndromes.

- Cancer during pregnancy poses significant risks for both mothers and their children, with this study examining outcomes for 84 women diagnosed with tumors from 2001 to 2022.
- Mothers mainly experienced gynecological or hematological cancers, most commonly diagnosed in the second trimester, and about two-thirds of the pregnancies ended in preterm deliveries to facilitate maternal treatment.
- The study found high survival rates for mothers (95.2% during pregnancy, 87.5% after one year) and their children (94% during pregnancy, with 76.2% surviving one year), though many mothers continued to require treatment post-delivery.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Elderly people, people with immunodeficiency, autoimmune and malignant diseases, as well as people with chronic diseases have a higher risk of developing more severe forms of the disease. Pregnant women and children can becomesick, although more often they are only the carriers of the virus.

Methods: Prospective cohort study included consecutive term pregnant women delivered by cesarean section (GEA, n = 284; RA, n = 249).
Results: Higher levels of blood pressure and heart rate, as well as lower levels of pulse oximetry were found for GEA in contrast to RA (p < 0.
