The early life environment can have profound impacts on the developing conceptus in terms of both growth and morphogenesis. These impacts can manifest in a variety of ways, including congenital fetal anomalies, placental dysfunction with subsequent effects on fetal growth, and adverse perinatal outcomes, or via effects on long-term health outcomes that may not be detected until later childhood or adulthood. Two key examples of environmental influences on early development are explored: maternal hyperglycaemia and gestational hypoxia. These are increasingly common pregnancy exposures worldwide, with potentially profound impacts on population health. We explore what is known regarding the mechanisms by which these environmental exposures can impact early intrauterine development and thus result in adverse outcomes in the immediate, short, and long term.

Introduction: Cervical dysplasia is a precursor lesion of cervical cancer, one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in women, especially in developing countries. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with the development of cervical dysplasia in women treated at the Santa María del Socorro Hospital in Ica, Peru, between 2017 and 2019.
Methods: An observational case-control study was conducted with 92 cases of women with confirmed high-grade intraepithelial lesion and 184 controls with consecutive negative results in Pap smears.

Background: Whether localized surgical treatment has advantages over traditional hormone therapy for young women who desire to preserve their fertility and have Stage 1a and Grade 1 endometrial cancer.
Case Presentation: We present a case study of a patient who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (Grade 1a, Stage 1) and was experiencing infertility. The patient underwent conservative surgical treatment and was able to successfully conceive through in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Fetal limb anomaly presentation varies greatly. It can present as amelia (complete absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), meromelia (partial absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), phocomelia (only rudimentary limb formed), and minor limb disorders like polydactyly. The complete absence of the four fetal limbs is extremely rare.

Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) provides offspring with a hyper-metabolic intrauterine microenvironment. In this study, we aimed to identify key differential microRNAs in GDM-derived exosomes and explore the potential mechanisms of abnormal embryonic development of islets in offspring.
Main Methods: Exosomes were extracted from umbilical vein blood of GDM and non-GDM (NGDM) parturients for microRNA sequencing.

Background: Adenomyosis can confer life-altering symptoms such as pelvic pain. Yet, the epidemiologic study of this uterine condition lags other gynaecologic conditions. This includes the investigation of intrauterine exposures that could disrupt foetal development and contribute to the presence of adenomyosis in adulthood.
