OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate whether gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) and healthy pregnancy differ with respect to complete blood count parameters and these parameters can be used both to explain the pathophysiologic mechanisms and differentiate the two conditions from each other. METHODS The data obtained from 37 women with GTD and 61 healthy pregnancies (contro...

Simulation is helpful for evaluating the performances of inspection techniques and requires the modeling of waves scattering from defects. Two classical flaw scattering models have been previously evaluated and implemented in the CIVA platform developed by CEA/LIST to deal with planar defects: the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) and the Kirchhoff approximation (KA). These two approaches...

Introduction: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) consists of group of disorders having pathology of abnormal trophoblastic proliferation ranging from hydatidiform mole to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Based on differences in morphology, histopathology, karyotype and clinical features, hydatidiform mole can be categorized into partial and complete moles. Molar pregnancy incidence var...

We start by studying the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy (GTd) ∆ = (2.259± 0.591)%. Then we look at the πN σ term, with the dimensionless ratio σN/2mN = 3.35%. Finally we return to predicting (via the quark model) the πN coupling constant, with GTd ∆ → 0 as mq → mN/3. PACS: 12.39.Ki, 12.39.Mk, 13.25.-k, 14.40.-n Given the recent new value of the πNN coupling constant [1] g πNN/4π = 13.80± 0.12 o...

INTRODUCTION Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a heterogeneous group of pregnancy-related disorders. Hydatidiform mole (HM) is the most common type of GTD, whereas gestational choriocarcinoma is the most aggressive. Non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Src contributes to the transformation to a malignant phenotype in various cancers. However, the role of c-Src in the pathogenesis of GTD rema...

( Obstet Gynecol . 2021;137:355–370) Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) refers to rare processes originating from the placenta that require timely and appropriate management. GTD includes partial or complete hydatidiform moles (HM), as well severe gestational neoplasia (GTN) related tumors. Obstetrician-gynecologists are more likely be involved in care of women with HM who have unclear dia...

Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is the rare variant of gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD), which differs histologically and immunologically from GTD. Diagnosis of PSTT is often difficult and delayed. In most cases, diagnosis is not possible until the surgery is performed. The most therapeutic choice is hysterectomy and it is usually successful. Here we report two cases of

A continuum crystal plasticity model is used to simulate the material behavior of a directionally solidified Ni-base superalloy, DS GTD-111, in the longitudinal and transverse orientations. Isothermal uniaxial fatigue tests with hold times and creep tests are conducted at temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to 1038°C to characterize the deformation response. The constitutive model i...
