Objective: Our objective was to report transpositioning an ectopic ovary, successfully using the assisted reproduction technique (ART), with the outcome of retrieving an oocyte from the transpositioned ovary during ART.
Case Report: The couple, presenting with a history of 2 years of secondary infertility, was admitted to our hospital. Two years earlier, the patient had undergone a left salpingo-oophorectomy for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The right ovary had not been detected during the previous operation. During surgery, we observed that the right ovary was attached to the posterior abdominal wall near the hepatic flexura. It was repositioned, moved, placed and fixed to the posterior wall of the uterus. One follicle developed and was retrieved from the transpositioned ovary during in vitro fertilization. The patient now has a healthy ongoing singleton pregnancy.
Conclusion: An ectopic ovary is an extremely rare gynecological entity. Transpositioning an ectopic ovary should be kept in mind as a possible procedure for the management of patients presenting with infertility where the other ovary is absent or does not respond to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation treatment.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common finding in patients with surgically repaired congenital heart defects including transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA). While often asymptomatic, PVCs can sometimes lead to palpitations, dyspnea, and hemodynamic compromise, requiring therapeutic intervention. The arterial switch operation is the preferred treatment for D-TGA, but these patients have a 2% incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and 1% incidence of sudden cardiac death post-operatively.

Biventricular repair of a straddling mitral valve (MV) can involve relocating ectopic papillary muscles and chordae. However, this increases operative complexity and risks MV incompetence. We describe a nine-month-old with D-transposition of the great arteries and straddling MV.

Effective resuscitation of neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on comprehensive planning, thorough understanding of physiology, vigilant monitoring, and interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve the best outcomes. Neonatal heart disease can affect cardiac structure, rhythm, or ventricular function, and may be either congenital or acquired. Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) can result in inadequate pulmonary blood flow, impaired intracardiac mixing, airway obstruction, or insufficient cardiac output.

Chromosomal organization in as examined by Hi-C methodology indicates that long-range interactions are sparse. Yet, spatial co-localization or 'clustering' of 6/7 ribosomal RNA () operons distributed over half the 4.6 Mbp genome has been captured by two other methodologies - fluorescence microscopy and Mu transposition.

Background: Ectopic thyroid at the base of the tongue is a rare congenital condition, and it is even rarer to have clinical symptoms and require surgical intervention. This disease is easily misdiagnosed preoperatively. This article reports the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and follow-up of a case of lingual thyroid.
