Challenges in Diagnosis of Pseudo Vasa Previa by Etsuko Kajimoto, Shinya Matsuzaki, Satoko Matsuzaki, Yusuke Tanaka, Yukiko Kinugasa-Taniguchi, Kazuya Mimura, Takeshi Kanagawa, Tadashi Kimura

“…Vasa previa is a rare but clinically important obstetrical complication that can be associated with a low-lying placenta or placenta previa. We aim to convey the challenges in diagnosing this condition by presenting 2 cases of pseudo vasa previa diagnosed antenatally as vasa previa using standard and color Doppler ultrasonography. …”

A Resource for the Transcriptional Signature of Bona Fide Trophoblast Stem Cells and Analysis of Their Embryonic Persistence by Georg Kuales, Matthias Weiss, Oliver Sedelmeier, Dietmar Pfeifer, Sebastian J. Arnold

“…Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) represent the multipotent progenitors that give rise to the different cells of the embryonic portion of the placenta. Here, we analysed the expression of key TSC transcription factors Cdx2, Eomes, and Elf5 in the early developing placenta of mouse embryos and in cultured TSCs and reveal surprising heterogeneity in protein levels. …”

Prenatal maternal stress in rats alters the epigenetic and transcriptomic landscape of the maternal-fetal interface across four generations by Stephanie E. King, Nicola A. Schatz, Olena Babenko, Yaroslav Ilnytskyy, Igor Kovalchuk, Gerlinde A. S. Metz

“…Transgenerational programming mainly involved genes and biological pathways associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases which were linked to maternal-fetal crosstalk facilitated by the placenta. The highly correlated placenta-brain profiles support the use of placenta as a noninvasive biomarker resource to predict pathological changes in the neonatal brain. …”

Term Abdominal Pregnancy Revealed by Amnioperitoneum in Rural Area by Henri Donald Mutarambirwa, Bruno Kenfack, Jovanny Tsuala Fouogue

“…Findings at laparotomy were as follows: amnioperitoneum, a live female baby weighing 3.4 kilogrammes without deformities and a placenta deeply inserted on the uterine fundus. Removal of the placenta triggered massive bleeding (2400 milliliters) with shock managed with a tourniquet on the lower uterine segment and fluid resuscitation. …”
