Three placentae from cases of materno-fetal Rhesus incompatibility have been studied electron microscopically. An abnormal villous vascular arrangement with dilated capillaries and newly formed vessels and stromal edema were the most characteristic findings. Syncytiotrophoblastic trophic changes and focal thickening of the trophoblast basement membrane were also found. It is suggested that placental changes observed in Rh incompatibility could be related to endothelial cell damage.

Objective: Low placentation is associated with increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). There is a paucity of data on the association between second trimester low placentation that later resolves, and PPH. Our objective was to investigate the association of resolved low placentation and other prenatal ultrasound markers, and PPH with delivery.

Brucellosis is considered a common bacterial zoonotic disease of high prevalence in countries of the Middle East and the Mediterranean region with economic and public health impact. The present study aimed to investigate the current situation of brucellosis in small ruminants reared in Médéa and Sidi Bel-Abbès provinces, north Algeria. To achieve this objective, 96 sera (77 sheep and 19 goat) and 57 milk (42 sheep and 15 goat) samples were collected from suspected infected animals and serologically analyzed by using ELISA.

Aim: Our study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of Placental growth factor (PlGF), Vitamin D, and systemic inflammatory index for assessing preeclampsia risk and severity.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 457 pregnant individuals who delivered at our hospital between March 2023 and October 2024. Participants were divided into three groups: control (n = 217), mild preeclampsia (n = 101), and severe preeclampsia (n = 67).

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a gestational disorder that significantly endangers maternal and fetal health. Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are important in the progression and diagnosis of various diseases. However, their role in the development of PE is unclear.
