Profiling of MicroRNAs for the Identification of Unique and Common MicroRNAs in Preeclamptic Patients of South India Using Next-Generation Sequencing.

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy complication with an unclear cause. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs), particularly miR-1, may play a role in controlling the genes associated with this condition. This study aimed to compare the expression of miRNAs in the blood and placental tissues of women with PE to those with normal pregnancies.

Simulation-Based Training on Basic Obstetrics and Gynecology Ultrasound Skills During COVID Pandemic.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic led to an alarming rise in sickness absenteeism among the radiologists. Anticipating a continued shortage of experienced radiologists in future COVID waves, it is essential to train the medical professionals in basic skills related to ultrasonography to enable them to perform basic Obstetrics and Gynecology (OG) scans safely in emergencies. Virtual reality simulation training is an alternative to conventional ultrasound training.

Benign metastasising leiomyoma after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Benign metastasising leiomyomatosis is a rare condition affecting women in the reproductive age-group with a history of uterine fibroids, who have undergone treatment by myomectomy or hysterectomy. It is characterised by development of multiple, indolent, smooth muscle tumours outside the uterus, most commonly in the lungs, and manifests several years after the uterine surgery. We describe the case of a young woman, who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for multiple fibroids and a right ovarian cyst.
