Extracellular Vesicles: the Next Frontier in Pregnancy Research.

Extracellular vehicles (EVs) have been involved in several aspects of pregnancy, including endometrial receptivity, embryo implantation, and embryo-maternal communication showing them associated with pregnancy disorders, such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preterm birth. Further research is warranted to fully comprehend the exact pathophysiological roles of EVs and to develop new therapies targeting EVs thereby improving pregnancy outcomes. Herein, we review the recent knowledge on the multifaceted roles of EVs during pregnancy and address the majority of the molecular interactions between EVs, maternal, and fetal cells with an emphasis on disorders of pregnancy under the influence of EVs.

Management challenges of Rabson Mendenhall syndrome in a resource limited country: a case report.

Objectives: Rabson Mendenhall syndrome  (RMS) is a rare form of insulin resistance syndrome caused by insulin receptor mutation. In term of severity, it lies at an intermediate point on spectrum of insulin resistance with Donohue syndrome flanking the severe and Type A insulin resistance at the mild end. We are reporting a 3.
