Introduction And Importance: Cystic endosalpingiosis is a rare, benign condition characterized by the presence of fallopian tube-like epithelium outside the fallopian tubes. It predominantly affects menopausal women and is often asymptomatic. Florid cystic endosalpingiosis, an unusual form, can mimic malignant ovarian masses, making accurate diagnosis crucial.

While ovarian cysts are well-recognized predisposing factors, hydrosalpinx is a less common precursor. This case report presents a unique instance of isolated fallopian tube torsion accompanied by hydrosalpinx.

Their diagnosis is complicated by their solid nature and potential association with ascites and pleural effusion, resembling Meigs syndrome. Elevated serum CA125 levels can further complicate differentiation from malignant ovarian epithelial tumours.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological features, maternal and foetal prognosis and different treatment options for uterine rupture in healthy and scarred uteri. We conducted a retrospective monocentric descriptive and analytical study of 60 cases of uterine rupture collected in the Department of Gynaecology-Obstetrics of the Center of Maternity and Neonatology, Monastir, from 2017 to 2021.

The implementation of SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) has been proposed as a standardized communication tool to enhance patient safety. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to SBAR communication through a pilot study conducted in a middle-income country.

Introduction And Importance: Cornual pregnancy, an infrequently reported form of ectopic pregnancy occurring in the uterine horn, is inadequately documented in medical literature, with an incidence below 2 %. This condition poses a substantial risk to maternal health due to delayed diagnosis and the potential for life-threatening bleeding after rupture.
Case Presentation: We present a case report following the SCARE guidelines that details a 32-year-old woman with abdominal pain and abnormal uterine bleeding.
Introduction: The implication of arginase enzyme in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections has not been clearly elucidated. The present study investigates whether HPV infection is correlated with changes in plasmatic arginase activity and cervical ARG1 and ARG2 mRNA expression among infected women negative for intraepithelial lesions (NIL).
Materiel And Methods: The present study included 300 women.
Introduction: Dermoid cysts, or also known as mature cystic teratomas, are one of the most common benign ovarian tumors. Spontaneous rupture of this tumor is rare and can be suspected on imaging.
Case Report: we report a case of ruptured mature ovarian teratoma.
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has exposed vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, to an unprecedented public health crisis. According to recent data, pregnancy in COVID-19 patients is associated with increased hospitalization, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and intubation. It has been suggested that pregnancy induced immune responses and cardiorespiratory changes can exaggerate the course of the COVID-19.

The present study is aimed at evaluating arginase activity in plasma and mRNA arginase isoforms expression in cervical cells of patients with abnormal cytology and identifying their relationship with Human papillomavirus (HPV) related parameters such as: HPV type, HPV circulating viral load and anti-HPV16 IgG.
Methods: This study included 77 women with cervical lesions and 95 matched controls.
Ovarian pregnancy is a rare entity among ectopic pregnancies. Its diagnosis and management are not always easy. It is a particular pathology, the clinician is confronted with a poor clinical semiology and a difficult ultrasound diagnosis.

This condition consequently leads to appendicular inflammation. We report the case of a 27-year-old primigravida woman, 32 weeks of gestation, who presented to our facility with a 2-day history of isolated right iliac fossa pain.

On the one hand, it allows for increasing options of breast conservation without an increased risk of recurrence, on the other hand it allows for locoregional control of patients with inoperable cancer. However, some clinical, radiological and histological factors are associated with an increased risk of mastectomy, such as microcalcifications, multifocality, SBR1 and 2 grade, cT3 and cT4 stages and overexpressed HER2.

Also known as embryonal mole, it is characterized by a recognizable ovum abnormality with vesicular transformation of villi but with recognizable placental appearance and amniotic cavity containing the fetus. First-trimester spontaneous abortion most commonly suggests the diagnosis.

Introduction: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancies associated with a high mortality rate. Symptoms are not specific and usually resemble the other types of ectopic pregnancies. Medical management is used in cases where a potentially lethal hemorrhage can be anticipated.
