Placental Protein 13 and Syncytiotrophoblast Basement Membrane Ultrastructures in Preeclampsia.

: Preeclampsia has been linked to an inflammatory response that may be brought on by endothelial cell dysfunction. This paper investigates the pathomechanism of syncytiotrophoblast basement membrane (STBM) damage and Placental Protein 13 (PP13) release, which may have a role in systemic endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia. : This comparative cross-sectional study involves 54 preeclampsia patients (27 early-onset preeclampsia and 27 late-onset preeclampsia) and 27 pregnant women with normal blood pressure.

Prenatal diagnosis of well-developed fetus in fetu with spontaneous movement in a resource-limited setting: A case report.

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a parasitic monozygotic twin encased within the body of its host twin. Because FIF is asymptomatic throughout pregnancy, it is mainly diagnosed in children with an abdominal mass after birth. In the case reported here, at 38-39 weeks of gestation, a 33-year-old woman (gravida 4, para 3) was referred for routine obstetric ultrasonography.

Diagnostic Test of 1 (TGF-1) in Menstrual Blood with Endometriosis.

Background: Endometriosis is a benign disorder that is generally defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside their normal location. TGF-1 is found in stromal cells and its expression is increased in epithelial cells of endometriotic cysts. Endometriosis diagnostics take a long time, so new markers are needed to diagnose endometriosis.
