Using saline solution including exuded extract from uterine curettings, hCG tests were performed in 63 women in whom there was a suspicion of ectopic pregnancy, and their results correlated highly with the microscopic existence of chorionic villi and trophoblasts. Ectopic pregnancy can be mostly excluded when the test is positive, and either ectopic pregnancy or complete abortion is probable when it is negative.

The Role of Nutrient Supplements in Female Infertility: An Umbrella Review and Hierarchical Evidence Synthesis.
Nutrients
December 2024
NICM Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University, Penrith, NSW 2751, Australia.
Background And Objectives: Nutrient supplements are commonly used to improve fertility outcomes by women with infertility trying to conceive spontaneously or utilising medically assisted reproduction (MAR). However, despite their widespread use and perceived safety, there is a lack of clear guidance on the efficacy and safety of these supplements for female infertility. The aim of this umbrella review was to identify the best available and most recent evidence on the efficacy and safety of nutrient supplements for female infertility to provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians and reproductive couples.

Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Beijing friendship hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 95, Yong'an Road, Xi-cheng district, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Objective: To study immediate therapeutic outcomes, subsequent fertility effects and menstrual changes in cesarean scar pregnancy patients who received uterine artery embolization with or without methotrexate followed by ultrasound guided curettage.
Materials And Methods: Totally, 82 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in our study and divided into two groups. Group I included 50 patients who received uterine artery embolization and ultrasound guided curettage, and Group II had 32 patients who received uterine artery embolization plus methotrexate and ultrasound guided curettage.
Prevention of Maternal Rh D Alloimmunization: A Comparative Review of Guidelines.
Obstet Gynecol Surv
December 2024
Associate Professor.
Importance: Rhesus alloimmunization refers to the sensitization of an Rh D-negative mother after exposure to D-positive fetal red blood cells, which can lead to significant fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Objective: The aim of this study was to review and compare the most recently published international guidelines on the prevention of maternal alloimmunization.
Evidence Acquisition: A comparative review of guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the British Committee for Standards in Hematology, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada regarding the prevention of maternal Rh D alloimmunization was conducted.
Ectopic expression of DNMT3L in human trophoblast stem cells restores features of the placental methylome.
Cell Stem Cell
December 2024
Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK; Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. Electronic address:
The placental DNA methylation landscape is unique, with widespread partially methylated domains (PMDs). The placental "methylome" is conserved across mammals, a shared feature of many cancers, and extensively studied for links with pregnancy complications. Human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) offer exciting potential for functional studies to better understand this epigenetic feature; however, whether the hTSC epigenome recapitulates primary trophoblast remains unclear.
