Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal lipid storage disorder caused by β-glucocerebrosidase (encoded by gene) activity deficiency, resulting in the accumulation of glucosylceramide (Gb1) and its deacylated metabolite glucosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb1). Lyso-Gb1 has been studied previously and proved to be a sensitive biomarker, distinguishing patients with GD from carriers and healthy subjects. It was shown that its level corresponds with β-glucocerebrosidase activity, thus it remains unknown as to why carriers have slightly higher lyso-Gb1 level than healthy population.

When and why did variations in placental structure and function evolve? Such questions cannot be addressed without a reliable version of mammalian phylogeny. Twenty-five years ago, the mammalian tree was reshaped by molecular phylogenetics. Soon it was shown, in contrast to prevailing theories, that the common ancestor of placental mammals had invasive placentation.

While infrequent, it ranks among the most serious complications of childbirth, posing a significant risk of mortality primarily due to hemorrhage and shock. Retained placenta after vaginal delivery is diagnosed when placenta does not spontaneously deliver within 18-60 min.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a relatively new obstetric condition which, until recently, was poorly understood. The true incidence is unknown because of the poor quality and heterogeneous diagnostic criteria. Classification systems have attempted to provide clarity on how to grade and diagnose PAS, but these are no longer reflective of our current understanding of PAS.
