[Bladder tumors discovered during pregnancy (apropos of 3 cases)].

Dakar Med

Clinique gynécologique et obstétricale C.H.U. Aristide Le Dantec, Dakar.

Published: July 1992

The authors present 3 cases of vesical tumours discovered during pregnancy, which, according to literature, very rarely happens. These women from the low socio-economic strata had many children and were seen at a late stage when diagnosis of vesical tumours is easily distinguished from haematuria, recurrent cysts and hypogastric tumours. The prognostic is bad, resulting most frequently in death due to kidney failure with purulent peritonitis from perforation of the tumour or its evolving towards the vertebral metastasis, and chronic suffering for the foetus. The need for early discovery through urinary indications is stressed, as is the need for public health education and easy accessibility to the medical services.

Human Defence Factors in Different Gestational Week Placenta: A Pilot Study.

Life (Basel)

January 2025

Institute of Anatomy and Anthropology, Riga Stradins University, Kronvalda Boulevard 9, LV-1010 Riga, Latvia.

Background: Numerous studies have shown the presence of multiple defence factors in placental tissue, although their role is partially understood; therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB); human beta-defensin 2, 3, and 4 (HBD-2,3,4); cathelicidine (LL-37); heat shock protein 60 (HSP60); and interleukin 10 (IL-10) in dissimilar gestational week placental tissue and display correlations between immunoreactive cells.

Methods: A total of 15 human placental tissue samples were acquired from mothers with different gestational weeks: 28, 31, and 40. Routine staining and immunohistochemistry for the samples were executed.

The Expression Pattern and Functional Analysis of Extracellular Vesicle Long Non-Coding RNAs from Uterine Fluid During Implantation in Pig.

Animals (Basel)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Swine and Poultry Breeding Industry, National Engineering Research Center for Breeding Swine Industry, College of Animal Science, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as competing endogenous RNAs and play significant roles in porcine embryo development. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the uterine fluid (UF) can target and deliver maternal endometrial signalling molecules to embryonic trophoblast cells, exerting crucial regulatory effects during embryo implantation. However, the specific roles of lncRNAs carried by UF-EVs during the embryo implantation period have not been thoroughly reported in the literature.

Should the Definition of Low Birth Weight Be Same in Every Ethnicity Considering the DOHaD Concept?

Pediatr Rep

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Keio University School of Medicine, 5 Shinanomachi, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160-8582, Japan.

Low birth weight (LBW) is a significant concern not only because of its association with perinatal outcomes, but also because of its long-term impact on future health. Despite the physical differences among individuals of different ethnicities, the definition of LBW remains the same for all ethnicities. This study aimed to explore and discuss this issue.
