Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality during the first trimester of pregnancy. There has been a dramatic increase in its incidence since the advent of IVF followed by in vitro Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET). Many risk factors related to IVF techniques and the cause of infertility have been documented. The combination of Endo Vaginal Ultrasonography and Human B Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) assays is the most reliable diagnostic tool, sometimes allowing the trunk to be preserved.

Background: Epignathus is a rare kind of teratoma. Its estimated incidence is one in 35,000-200,000 live births, and it may cause high mortality by causing airway obstruction in the neonatal period. It is generally diagnosed in the prenatal period.

Background: As a prevalent and deadly malignant tumor, the treatment outcomes for late-stage patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) are often suboptimal. Previous studies have shown that tumor progression is closely related with tumor metabolism and microenvironment reshaping, with disruptions in energy metabolism playing a critical role in this process. To delve deeper into the understanding of CSCC development, our research focused on analyzing the tumor microenvironment and metabolic characteristics across different regions of tumor tissue.

Objective: Previous research suggests serum CA125 reflects extra-uterine disease in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC). Our objective was to determine if CA125 can identify patients with extra-uterine and/or nodal metastases, the association of this biomarker with EC molecular subtype, and to explore an optimal cutoff in this context.
Methods: We assessed the association of CA125 levels with clinicopathologic and outcomes data on a cohort of 1107 molecularly classified EC.

In this study, we developed a portable artificial uterus specifically designed for viviparous elasmobranchs (sharks and batoids). This new method is different from the previous method owing to the absence of fluid-cleaning filters, a smaller amount of incubation fluid, and the use of a mini-sized refrigerator for temperature control. Due to these modifications, the total weight decreased to approximately 40 kg, which is less than one-twentieth that of the previous system.

Primary pelvic peritoneal masses, not arising from major organs, are uncommon in adults. Leiomyomas are a group of benign smooth muscle tumors, most commonly found in the uterus in premenopausal women (70-80%). Extra-uterine locations are very rare and more frequent in women.
