Article Abstract
Among women exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol (DES) and enrolled in the Diethylstilbestrol Adenosis (DESAD) Project, structural anomalies of the cervix or vagina were found in 25% of the 1,655 subjects identified by review of prenatal records, 43% of the 800 who themselves requested entry into the project, and 49% of the 1,089 referred by physicians but in only 2% of the 963 control subjects. Among the 367 cases found by record review to have complete information on the DES exposure, multivariate analysis indicated close association of the anomalies with the gestational week of first exposure and the total dose. Also, the prevalence rate of the anomalies was lower among subjects who had been pregnant and higher among those with later age at menarche.

Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) is extensively used in waterproof coatings and fire-fighting foams, and several studies have found it to be a potential health hazard, but there is still unknown about its effects on spermatogenesis. Our results showed that PFHxS-treated mice have significant reproductive toxicity, including a decrease in sperm count and motility, and the levels of sex hormones (P < 0.05).

We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with complex congenital heart disease where computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated a giant aneurysm of the right inferior pulmonary vein, in the absence of any downstream obstruction. The case highlights the developmental aspects of this rare anomaly in addition to the role of CT angiography in anatomical depiction of structures which are difficult to visualize on transthoracic echocardiography.

Structural abnormalities within the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) can present similarly to Brugada syndrome. A 34-year-old woman with no medical history presented with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest and initial electrocardiogram showed type I Brugada pattern. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed prominent tissue thickening at the RVOT with late gadolinium enhancement.

The pathogenesis of type I Chiari malformation (CIM) is complex and remains unclear. The theory of posterior cranial fossa incompatibility has gained widespread acceptance in recent years. In the patients with CIM combined with syringomyelia, scoliosis is a common occurrence, with severe cases often leading to complications that necessitate surgical intervention.

Trisomy 18 is a severe aneuploidy associated with multiple malformations and a poor prognosis. The diagnosis is typically made prenatally, leading to a high rate of pregnancy terminations. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that even though the prognosis is heterogeneous, prolonged survival is possible and these children are an enrichment for their families after all.
