The unpredictable clinical course of an abdominal cyst diagnosed in the prenatal period: A case report.

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract. Prenatal diagnosis can be achieved through ultrasound, which may reveal a cystic mass, though the differential diagnosis is broad. We report a case in which the prenatal ultrasound detection of an abdominal cystic mass prompted postnatal magnetic resonance imaging, leading to the diagnosis of an enteric duplication cyst.

Fetal Cerebellar Area: Ultrasound Reference Ranges at 13-39 Weeks of Gestation.

Background And Objectives: The present study aims to provide prenatal 2-dimensional ultrasonographic (2D-US) nomograms of the normal cerebellar area.

Materials And Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional analysis of 252 normal singleton pregnancies, ranging from 13 to 39 weeks of gestation. The operator performed measurements of the fetal cerebellar area in the transverse plane using 2D-US.

Prenatal Diagnosis of an Intrathoracic Left Kidney Associated with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Case Report and Systematic Review.

Introduction: A congenital intrathoracic kidney (ITK) is a rare anomaly that is recognized to have four causes: renal ectopia with an intact diaphragm, diaphragmatic eventration, diaphragmatic hernia, and traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. We report a case of a prenatal-diagnosed ITK related to a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and conducted a systematic review of all cases of the prenatal diagnosis of this association.

Case Presentation: A fetal ultrasound scan at 22 gestational weeks showed left CDH and ITK, hyperechoic left lung parenchyma, and mediastinal shift.

Ki67 as a prognostic marker in uterine leiomyosarcoma: A quantitative systematic review.

Ki67 labeling index (LI) has been proposed as a prognostic factor in uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS), although the evidence in this field is still unclear. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of ki67 LI in uLMS. A systematic review was performed by searching electronic databases from their inception to August 2020 for all studies assessing the prognostic value of ki67 LI in uLMS.

Omphalocele Secondary to Spontaneous Rupture of Allantoic Cyst in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy.

Objective: We report the first case in which the onset of omphalocele was after the spontaneous rupture of an allantoic cyst. We hypothesize a causal link between the spontaneous rupture of the cyst and the herniation of the viscera. .

Prenatal diagnosis of a novel pathogenic variation in the ACAN gene presenting with isolated shortening of fetal long bones in the second trimester of gestation: a case report.

Background: Heterozygous mutations of the ACAN gene are a major cause of different evolutive growth defects in the pediatric population, but were never described as a cause of fetal skeletal dysplasia.

Case Presentation: A G1 at 21w + 3d came to our institution for the second-trimester ultrasound and a skeletal dysplasia with prevalent involvement of limb's rhizomelic tracts was suspected. Amniocentesis followed by CGH-array was performed, with normal results.

Gardnerella vaginalis and Trichomonas vaginalis infections as risk factors for persistence and progression of low-grade precancerous cervical lesions in HIV-1 positive women.

Gardnerella vaginalis (GV) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infections have been proposed as risk factors for persistence and/or progression of low-grade cervical precancerous lesions (CIN1/L-SIL). In patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), who have an increased baseline risk of CIN1/L-SIL progression, the role of GV and TV is undefined. We aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of GV and TV infections on CIN1/L-SIL in HIV-positive women.

Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of duplication gallbladder: a multicenter study.

Background: Gallbladder duplication is a rare anatomic anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory gallbladder.

Objective: To appraise the prevalence and significance of prenatal diagnosis of duplication of gallbladder in a multicenter study.

Methods: This was a multicenter case series with literature review.

Effect of music on labor and delivery in nulliparous singleton pregnancies: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Women's experience of pain during labor varies greatly, and pain control is a major concern for obstetricians. Several methods have been studied for pain management for women in labor, including drug and non-drug interventions.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that in nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies at term, listening to music would reduce the pain level during labor.

Intrahepatic persistent fetal right umbilical vein: a retrospective study.

Introduction: To appraise the incidence and value of intrahepatic persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV).

Methods: This was a single-center study. Records of all women with a prenatal diagnosis of intrahepatic PRUV were reviewed.

Proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome or Fowler syndrome: Report of a family and insight into the disease's mechanism.

Background: Fowler syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly and multiple pterygium due to fetal akinesia. To date, around 45 cases from 27 families have been reported, and the pathogenic bi-allelic mutations in FLVCR2 gene described in 15 families. The pathogenesis of this condition has not been fully elucidated so far.

Mini-invasive Implant Placement in Combination with Maxillary Sinus Membrane Perforation During Transcrestal Sinus Floor Elevation: A Retrospective Study.

The aim of this retrospective study was to report preliminary outcomes of a modified technique for transcrestal sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement. A total of 165 implants were placed in 110 patients using a modified Summers technique. During implant site preparation, after fracturing the sinus floor, a small perforation of the membrane was made using the first osteotome.
