Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) by random massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA for multiple pregnancies is a promising new option for prenatal care since conventional non-invasive screening for fetal trisomies 21, 18 and 13 has limitations and invasive diagnostic methods bear a higher risk for procedure related fetal losses in the case of multiple gestations compared to singletons. In this study, in a retrospective blinded analysis of stored twin samples, all 16 samples have been determined correctly, with four trisomy 21 positive and 12 trisomy negative samples. In the prospective part of the study, 40 blood samples from women with multiple pregnancies have been analyzed (two triplets and 38 twins), with two correctly identified trisomy 21 cases, confirmed by karyotyping.

Methods: The diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was confirmed with urodynamic tests in a 54-year-old woman. TOT procedure was performed under the guidance of fluoroscopy.
Objectives: To report a case of tubal heterotopic pregnancy (HP) treated conservatively with transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration and instillation of hyperosmolar glucose.
Methods: Aspiration of the tubal ectopic pregnancy and hyperosmolar glucose instillation was performed with a 16-gauge needle under transvaginal ultrasound guidance.
Results: Unruptured tubal HP with positive cardiac activity was treated successfully without any further interventions, and intrauterine pregnancy has reached full-term without any complications.
Objectives: To report a twin pregnancy achieved by assisted reproductive techniques in a woman with severe congenital bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
Methods: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer was performed in a 38-year-old woman with a complaint of infertility for 8 years due to male factor and who previously had the diagnosis of severe congenital bicuspid aortic stenosis. Clinical and echocardiography follow-up during pregnancy was done.
Background: Although folic acid deficiency is known to be one of the factors in the development of spina bifida and other neural tube defects (NTD) the exact pathophysiology still remains unclear. Progesterone is an endogenous hormone which increases significantly during pregnancy.
Aims: We aimed to study the possible negative effects of high dose progesterone on neural tube development in early chick embryos.
Aims: To determine whether performing transvaginal sonography (TVS) and saline infusion sonography (SIS) before hysteroscopy could reduce the number of diagnostic hysteroscopies performed for the evaluation of uterine cavity abnormalities.
Methods: Two hundred and twenty three women with suspected uterine cavity abnormalities were prospectively evaluated by TVS, SIS and hysteroscopy, and had histological evaluation of the endometrium with hysteroscopic biopsy or dilatation and curettage (D&C). One hundred and sixty five patients (74%) were premenopausal and 58 patients (26%) were postmenopausal.
Objective: To present a case of cervical ectopic pregnancy successfully treated with ultrasound-guided aspiration and single-dose methotrexate administered systemically.
Design: Case report.
Setting: University hospital.
