Studying the human placenta through in vitro cell culture methods is necessary due to limited access and amenability of human placental tissue to certain experimental methods as well as distinct anatomical and physiological differences between animal and human placentas. Selecting an in vitro culture model of the human placenta is challenging due to representation of different trophoblast cell types with distinct biological roles and limited comparative studies that define key characteristics of these models. Therefore, the aim of this research was to create a comprehensive transcriptomic comparison of common in vitro models of the human placenta compared to bulk placental tissue from the CANDLE and GAPPS cohorts (N=1083).

Equine leptospirosis can result in abortion, stillbirth, neonatal death, placentitis, and uveitis. Horses can also act as subclinical reservoir hosts of infection, which are characterized as asymptomatic carriers that persistently excrete leptospires and transmit disease. In this study, PCR and culture were used to assess urinary shedding of pathogenic from 37 asymptomatic mares.

Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is often missed in developing nations due to limited formal healthcare exposure and biochemical screening programs. Many patients are thus only diagnosed once symptomatic. We present a 32-year-old female who developed bony protrusions in her jaw during pregnancy, resulting in a stillbirth.

Background: The incidence of toxoplasmosis in humans in Syria indicates an increase in the number of infections with this disease. Cats are the only definitive host of Toxoplasma gondii and excrete environmentally resistant oocysts in their feces.
Objectives: Estimate the prevalence of T.
