Methodology of preparation of corrosive specimens from human placenta - A technical note.

Detailed knowledge of the anatomy of human placenta vessels is clinically essential and requires the use of many different anatomical and histological techniques. One of the interesting methods of visualising vessels is the corrosion technique. It enables spatial visualisation of the vascular network of the analysed organ.

Comparison of the diagnostic value of histopathological examinations of miscarriage products after pharmacological induction of miscarriage and curettage.

Objectives: For early miscarriage (pregnancy loss ≤ 12 weeks of gestation), two types of therapeutic treatment are offered (pharmacotherapy and curettage of the uterine cavity) depending on the presence and severity of clinical symptoms as well as patient choice. Our study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the results of histopathological examinations of miscarriage products in relation to the administered treatments.

Material And Methods: 850 medical records from patients diagnosed with missed miscarriage or empty gestational sac were analyzed retrospectively.
