Background: Angular pregnancy is a rare event and is a commonly missed diagnosis in the antepartum period. Data regarding the optimal mode of delivery and management of the placenta are limited.
Case Description: A patient in her 30s, gravida 3, para 1 presented at 37 weeks with severe range blood pressure and was admitted for induction of labour due to preeclampsia. Her labour course and delivery of the neonate were uncomplicated. Despite attempts at manual extraction and suction dilation and curettage, the placenta was unable to be removed. Ultrasound revealed the placenta in the right cornua, suspicious for angular pregnancy. She was taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy and hysterotomy for extraction of the placenta. She had an uncomplicated postpartum course and was discharged home on postpartum day 4.
Conclusion: In patients with suspected angular pregnancy, exploratory laparotomy and hysterotomy may be required for placental removal.

Introduction: Angular limb deformities (ALDs) are a common skeletal development disorder in newborn foals. This condition affects the growth and development of foals and severely impacts their future athletic performance and economic value, causing significant financial losses to the horse industry. Placentitis, metritis, and severe metabolic diseases during mare pregnancy are significant causes of ALDs in newborn foals.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), an environmental contaminant, negatively impacts sperm functions like motility and capacitation in boar sperm by examining specific proteins called Rab proteins.
- - Findings show that exposure to PFOA significantly reduces sperm motility and is linked to changes in Rab proteins, particularly Rab14, Rab25, and Rab34, which are crucial for sperm development and the acrosome reaction.
- - The research suggests that the alterations in Rab protein activity could serve as biomarkers for measuring the reproductive toxicity of environmental toxins like PFOA, potentially leading to lower pregnancy rates.
Introduction: The aim of this article is to assess any association between the risk of miscarriage and the distance of an early pregnancy from the closest tubal ostia.
Methods: Early pregnancy was defined as a gestational sac ⩽ 15 mm mean diameter within the upper half of the endometrial cavity. The shortest distance from the gestational sac (chorionic membrane) to the closest tubal ostia and the interostial distance were measured.
