Ultrasound diagnosis of molar pregnancy

Ultrasound diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) remains the number one cause of first trimester maternal death. Traditionally, laparoscopy has been the gold standard for diagnosis of EP. The advent of high-resolution transvaginal scan (TVS) means more clinically stable women with EPs are diagnosed earlier, well before surgery becomes necessary in many cases. Early diagnosis by TVS is therefore potentially life saving a...

Compare clinical Presentation of complete Molar Pregnancy and partial Molar Pregnancy ( 2006-2018)

Objective: Molar pregnancy is classified as one of the diseases groups as a type of  Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) which is emerged from placenta. Hydatitiform moles are diagnosed one per 1500-2000 pregnancies in the United States. There seems to be a large variation in mole development and its frequency in Far East Asia is higher than western industrial. Mole is divided into two ty...

Molar Pregnancy Presents as Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy

Diagnosis of complete molar pregnancy by microsatellites in archival material.

AIMS To develop an assay which would determine the parentage of hydatidiform molar pregnancies. METHODS DNA was extracted from formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue from hydatidiform molar pregnancies and spontaneous abortions after separation of chorionic villi and decidua. PCR amplification of dinucleotide repeat sequences ("microsatellites") was performed using three different prime...
