Twenty eight women with suspicion for extrauterine pregnancy were examined by a vaginal transducer. Extrauterine pregnancy was diagnosed in 18 of them, which was confirmed at the operation. There were no echographic data for tubal pregnancy in 10 of the women. Their further follow-up rejected the presence of extrauterine pregnancy. Three tubal pregnancies were discovered by routine monitoring of ovarian cycles. The immediate proximity of the vaginal transducer to the examined organs in the pelvis gives a possibility for exact topical diagnosis.

Background: Earlier evidence indicated that metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may adversely affect neonatal outcomes among patients conceiving soon after MBS, but recent studies demonstrated conflicting results, especially for new surgical techniques.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of MBS types and surgery to birth interval on maternal, birth, and nonbirth outcomes in women with severe obesity.
Setting: New York State's all-payer hospital discharge database (2008-2019).
The shaping of the human intestinal microbiota starts during the intrauterine period and continues through the subsequent stages of extrauterine life. The microbiota plays a significant role in the predisposition and development of immune diseases, as well as various inflammatory processes. Importantly, the proper colonization of the fetal digestive system is influenced by maternal microbiota, the method of pregnancy completion and the further formation of the microbiota.

Introduction: Despite of numerous studies of the placenta, some molecular and cellular characteristics, particularly the relationship among different cell types, have not been well understood. We aim to investigate the basic and intricate details of cellular and molecular elements in early and late phase placentas to gain better understanding of the immune regulation of human reproductive process.
Methods: A novel combination of techniques of spatial transcriptomics(ST), multiple immunohistochemistry, and a dual labeling combining immunohistochemistry and (fluorescence in situ hybridization) FISH on normal and ectopic pregnancy and animal models was employed to investigate the placenta at tissue, cell, protein and molecular levels and to trace the fetal and maternal origin of every cell in early and late placentas.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic performance and clinical utility of the M4 prediction model and the NICE algorithm managing women with pregnancy of unknown location (PUL).
Design: The study has a superiority design regarding specificity for non-ectopic pregnancy for M4, given that the primary outcome of sensitivity for ectopic pregnancy (EP) is non-inferior in comparison with the NICE algorithm.
Setting: Emergency gynaecology units in Sweden.

This case highlights the critical role of early radiological screening by ultrasound in identifying uterine anomalies. In this report, we discuss a 39-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 4 para 3, and her fetus at gestational age 18 weeks. The patient was referred to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Emergency Department at Qatif Central Hospital, Saudi Arabia, from a private hospital due to an ultrasound study indicating a possible ectopic pregnancy with an abdominal fetal location.
