Vitamin d-binding protein (VDBP) and lactoferrin (LF) in plasma and peritoneal fluid (PF) in the diagnosis of endometriosis
Aim: Biochemical parameters and their interrelationships in plasma and peritoneal fluid (PF) may facilitate understanding of biological processes associated with endometriosis. Selection of vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) and lactoferrin (LF) is based on their characteristic properties and association with inflammatory processes. The aim of this study was to assess the concentrations and correlations of VDBP and LF in plasma and PF in order to investigate systemic and local pathology associated with endometriosis.

Early complications of laparoscopic repair of uterine scar niche after cesarean section
Introduction: Laparoscopy is one of the approaches of repairing the cesarean section diverticulum, besides laparotomy and the transvaginal access. The endoscopic method provides better access to the operated site, high precision of reconstruction and reduced traumatization of abdominal wall. However, this method is limited by the demanding laparoscopic suturing. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Corin —the early marker of preeclampsia in pregestational diabetes mellitus
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in pregnant women. Pregestational diabetes (PGDM) patients are prone to vascular complications and preeclampsia, whereas vascular exposure to hyperglycemia induces inflammation, vascular remodeling, and arterial stiffness. Corin is a serine protease, converting inactive pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) into an active form. It also promotes salt and water excretion by activating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and significantly increases trophoblast invasion.

Preeclampsia is caused by impaired placenta – A case report
Preeclampsia (PE) is a disorder of pregnancy associated with new-onset hypertension combined with proteinuria, renal and liver insufficiency, thrombocytopenia, neurological abnormalities and FGR. It is caused by impaired placentation which leads to imbalance between pro-angiogenic (PlGF) and anti-angiogenic factors ( sFlt). PE symptoms are related to endothelial dysfunction caused by among others sFlt-1. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)
