Orofaciodigital syndromes (OFDS) are a group of diseases classified according to the phenotype and the mode of inheritance. We report on a female patient with ocular hypertelorism, broad nasal root, midline cleft of the upper lip, lobulated tongue, polydactyly of both hands, polysyndactyly of the right big toe and fifth toe, and polydactyly of the left foot. These clinical manifestations resembled OFDS type I. Other associated features included congenital heart defect, bilateral hydronephrosis, and vaginal atresia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of OFDS with vaginal atresia.

Vaginal atresia is a rare anomaly of the female reproductive tract that significantly impacts women's reproductive health and quality of life. Although there has been relatively extensive research on the clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis of vaginal atresia, there is a paucity of literature specifically addressing the genetic background, treatment protocols, and psychological status of patients with vaginal atresia, indicating a need for further investigation. In this context, this article systematically reviews the epidemiological characteristics of vaginal atresia and explores its etiology from multiple perspectives, including developmental processes, genetic factors, and environmental factors, emphasizing the importance of genetic susceptibility and environmental interactions in the pathogenesis of the condition.

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung condition of premature neonates, yet without an established pharmacological treatment. The BPD rabbit model exposed to 95% oxygen has been used in recent years for drug testing. However, the toxicity of the strong hyperoxic hit precludes a longer-term follow-up due to high mortality after the first week of life.

Background: Lack of motivation and behavioral abnormalities are the hallmarks of postpartum depression (PPD). Severe uterine contractions during labor are pain triggers for psychiatric disorders, including PPD in women during the puerperium. Creating biomarkers to monitor PPD may help in its early detection and treatment.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a disorder marked by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina. Patients with this condition often present with primary amenorrhoea and normal secondary sexual characteristics. The diagnosis of MRKH syndrome has profound implications for a patient's fertility and psychological well-being, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychosocial support.

Introduction: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 24 weeks of gestation, affects up to 1%-2% of couples. Aim of this retrospective cohort study was to report the main causes and pregnancy outcomes of a cohort of women with RPL and the efficacy of a personalized work-up and treatment in terms of live birth rate.
Material And Methods: Women with primary (pRPL) and secondary (sRPL) RPL underwent a complete work-up and personalized therapeutic management.
