Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the ultrasound phenotype and copy number variation (CNV) of abnormal embryos in spontaneous abortion by investigating the abnormal chromosome copy number of embryos at different developmental stages in early spontaneous abortion.
Methods: A total of 539 patients who had early spontaneous abortion in our hospital between 2015 and 2019 were divided into seven groups according to the phenotype of abnormal embryonic development during pregnancy, and the embryonic tissues of the patients were subjected by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray.
Results: Among 377 cases with abnormal CNV, 295 (78.25%) cases had chromosome trisomy, and 28 (7.43%) cases had a combination of more than two chromosomes. Triploidy, tetraploidy, chromosome microdeletion/duplication, uniparental disomy, and monosomy 45,X were found in 32 (8.48%), five (1.32%), 31 (8.22%), four (1.02%), and eight (2.12%) cases, respectively. Two (0.53%) cases had autosomal chromosome 21 monosomy. Normal karyotype had the highest proportion in the empty sac group; trisomy 16 accounted for the bulk of chromosomes in the normal yolk sac group, complex triploidy occupied the most part in the abnormal yolk sac group, and no remarkable difference in chromosomal abnormality proportion was found between the normal and abnormal yolk sac groups; the most frequent chromosomal anomaly in a group of germ without cardiac activity and germ<5 mm was trisomy 16; triploidy was the most common in the group with 5 mm ≤ germ ≤ 15 mm, whereas the main distribution of chromosome karyotype was normal, followed by trisomy 13 in a group with germ>15 mm.
Conclusion: Abnormal embryos with different ultrasound phenotypes in early spontaneous abortion have various CNV types and characteristic distribution. Thus, ultrasound combined with SNP array can provide a basis for the etiological analysis of embryos in spontaneous abortion.

Campylobacter spp. are the leading causes of ovine abortions leading to severe economic losses and a source of bacterial food borne illness in humans, posing a major public health concern. This study reports an increase in Brucella negative abortions in sheep farms in Kashmir, India in the last few years.

Objective: To explore the biological relationship between the regulatory signal pathways involved in differentially expressed genes and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) by analyzing the gene expression microarray data of unexplained RSA.
Methods: The gene expression profile data of chorionic villi from unexplained recurrent abortion with normal karyotype and selective induced abortion were compared. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed by the "Limma" package in R Studio, and Gene Ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were carried out with "Cluster Profiler" and "org.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a synthetic antimalarial, is recognized for its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and vascular-protective effects. In 20-30% of cases of primary obstetrical antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), the combination of antiplatelet aggregation and prophylactic anticoagulation fails to prevent obstetrical complications, a situation referred to as refractory obstetrical APS. This is partly due to the pro-inflammatory effects of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) binding to decidual and trophoblastic cells, which compromise embryonic implantation and placentation.

Background: On the second day of my clinical observership in the Obgyn Department of the Vienna University Hospital, I saw a suspected case of caesarean scar pregnancy on follow-up, with one of my very senior professors, in the gynaecology outpatient clinic.
Methods: The 29-year-old multigravida with a previous caesarean section had earlier presented to the emergency room with vaginal bleeding at 7 weeks of gestation.
Results: Ultrasound scan revealed a non-viable low-lying gestational sac located near the caesarean section scar, with a myometrial thickness of 0.
