Prenatal diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex using fetal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging and genetic testing
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) was first described by von Recklinghausen in 1862 [1]. Tuberous sclerosis is also called TSC because of its diverse clinical manifestations. TSC is extremely variable and unpredictable in terms of disease phenotypes and clinical presentations. Its clinical features are a principal means of diagnosis [1]. TSC is an autosomal dominant disorder that can be associated with multiple major and minor disorders [2]. The estimated incidence of TSC is about 1 in 10,000 person/year with a prevalence between 1 in 6800 –17,300 person/year [3]. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

An exceptional source of recurrent urinary tract infections in women: Primary retroperitoneal serous cystadenoma
Urinary tract infections are the second most common bacterial infections seen in primary care [1], and these infections are particularly frequent among women [1,2]. The recurrent urinary tract infections not responding to regular treatments need reference to urology, since in primary care settings, sophisticated diagnostic approaches are not feasible [1,3]. Sources for recurring urinary tract infections are diverse [3,4]; however to my best knowledge, there are not previous reports regarding recurrent urinary tract infections are triggered by a primary retroperitoneal cyst.

Comment on first trimester maternal serum analytes and second trimester uterine artery doppler in the prediction of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction
We read with interest this issue of the journal where Yu N, Cui H, Chen X, Chang Y [1] determine that the biomarkers tested in the first trimester: pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and disintegrin and β – human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12), placenta protein 13 (PP13) and the uterine artery Doppler (UAD) in the second trimester; are associated with preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Though the investigation meets its purpose, it would be more informative to include data from recent researches. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

A systematic review of massive transfusion protocol in obstetrics
Post-partum obstetric haemorrhage is a leading cause of mortality among Japanese women, generally treated with haemostatic measures followed by supplementary transfusion. Commonly used in the setting of severe trauma, massive transfusion protocols (MTPs), preparations of red blood cell concentrate (RBC) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) with additional supplements, have proved effective in decreasing patient mortality following major obstetric bleeding events. Although promising, the optimal configuration of RBC and FFP utilized for obstetric bleeding needs to be verified. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)
