A 26-year-old woman with a history of cranial radiation and chemotherapy desired pregnancy. Pelvic ultrasound scanning demonstrated a small uterine volume of 7 mL. After 25 weeks of estrogen therapy, her uterine volume increased to 37 mL. The patient had an uncomplicated pregnancy with the use of donor oocytes and delivered a term healthy daughter.

Arboviruses currently are regarded as a major worldwide public health concern. The clinical outcomes associated with this group of viruses may vary from asymptomatic infections to severe forms of haemorrhagic fever characterised by bleeding disorders. Similar to other systemic viral infections, arboviruses can either directly or indirectly affect different parts of the body, such as the urogenital system.

Amniotic fluid assessment is crucial in prenatal ultrasound to monitor fetal conditions, with polyhydramnios, characterized by excessive amniotic fluid, affecting 1%-2% of pregnancies. Polyhydramnios is linked to complications such as placental abruption, preterm labor, congenital anomalies, and postpartum hemorrhage, emphasizing the need for early detection and management. While idiopathic causes account for 60%-70% of cases, other causes include impaired fetal swallowing and increased urine production due to maternal, fetal, and placental conditions.

Background: A large urogenital hiatus in Level III results in a higher risk of developing pelvic organ prolapse after birth and failure after prolapse surgery. Deepening of the pelvic floor and downward rotation of the levator plate have also been linked to prolapse. Currently we lack data that evaluates how these measures relate to one another and to prolapse occurrence and size.

Reichert's membrane (RM) is a basement membrane of gigantic proportions that surrounds the mammalian embryo following implantation. It is part of the parietal yolk sac, which originates from the wall of the preimplantation blastocyst. RM persists from implantation to birth in rodents and analogous structures occur in other mammals, including primates.

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) provides greater benefits than intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) regarding dosimetric outcomes in patients with cervical cancer. To investigate the clinical benefits of ART, we have collected data from 115 cervical cancer patients who underwent radical radiotherapy at our institution. Fifty-nine patients received a single course of IMRT.
