A consecutive series of 26 women followed to term after first trimester transabdominal chorionic villi sampling is presented. The clinical application of transabdominal chorionic villi sampling (TA-CVS) seems to have certain advantages, especially from the patients' point of view, but also in regard to successful sampling and to the complication ratio. The results in this clinical trial revealed no cases of abortions, no signs of placental damage and no cases of vaginal bleeding or infections.

Purpose: Our primary objective was to characterize clinical and procedural factors affecting sample size in chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
Methods: This retrospective, single-site cohort study included singleton pregnancies undergoing transabdominal (TA) and transcervical (TC) CVS between 2020 and 2023. Prenatal and maternal data were obtained from the electronic medical record.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, accuracy, and effectiveness of embryoscopy for the management of early abortion and to test the hypothesis that targeted embryo and chorionic villi sampling avoids maternal cell contamination (MCC) for genetic testing of products of conception (POC).
Methods: This ambispective study included 74 consecutive patients presenting with early abortion. Gestations between 5 and 9 weeks, obtained either spontaneously or through assisted reproductive technologies were included.

Introduction: Intramural ectopic pregnancy (IMP) refers to the implantation and implantation of a gestational sac in the uterine muscle layer, which is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease. Early detection and diagnosis are significant, and treatment methods are often challenging.
Presentation Of Case: We report a case of IMP after embryo transfer in a 38-year-old woman.

Rationale: Ruptured tubal pregnancies occurring in the second trimester are rare; yet, they pose a critical risk of life-threatening hemorrhage. This study aims to highlight the importance of timely surgical intervention in such cases to prevent fatal outcomes. The case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that arise when distinguishing between tubal and abdominal pregnancies, particularly in the presence of hemoperitoneum, which can obscure imaging results.

Background: Quantitative and qualitative human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) tests are obtained in the emergency department (ED) to determine if a female of child-bearing age is pregnant. A positive hCG result is commonly assumed to indicate an intrauterine or other form of pregnancy. However, elevated hCG levels can also result from various other conditions, such as ovarian tumors, pituitary tumors, and thyroid disorders.
