Is pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) a marker for adverse perinatal outcomes in preterm isolated oligohydramnios cases?
Isolated oligohydramnios is defined as an amniotic fluid index below five centimeter with no other coexisting condition. There are still controversies about the management and pregnancy outcomes. A marker predicting these is crucial. Low pregnancy associated plasma protein-A levels were reported to be related with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to determine the role of first trimester pregnancy associated plasma protein-A for poor outcomes in preterm isolated oligohydramnios cases.

Variations in clinical presentation of unicornuate uterus with non-communicating rudimentary horn (class IIB of the American  Fertility Society classification)
The unicornuate uterus is a rare uterine malformation (2.4 –13.7% of all uterine malformations (Engmann et al., 2004)) which usually features a rudimentary accessory horn in more than 75% of the cases. Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is rare, but the complications attached to such pregnancies could be defined as the first clinical manifestation of rudi mentary horn.

A case of rapidly-growing atypical polypoid adenomyoma which was histologically diagnosed before operation and removed by a laparoscopic resection
Atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APAM) is an epithelial-mesenchymal mixed tumor which often develops in the uterine cavity of reproductive age women, requiring preservation of the reproductive functions. Preoperative endometrial biopsy may not yield histological diagnosis as the tumor is a solid smooth muscle tumor. The standard treatment option is a hysteroscopic resection for the diagnosis and the treatment at the same time. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Prenatal diagnosis of fetal glutaric aciduria type 1 with rare compound heterozygous mutations in GCDH gene
Glutaric aciduria type 1 is a rare disease, with the estimated prevalence about 1 in 100,000 newborns. GCDH gene mutation can lead to glutaric acid and 3- OH glutaric acid accumulation, with clinical manifestation of neuronal damage, brain atrophy, microencephalic macrocephaly, decreased coordination of swallowing, poor muscle coordination, spasticity, and severe dystonic movement disorder.
