Molecular cytogenetic characterization and prenatal diagnosis of familial Xp22.33 microdeletion encompassing short stature homeobox gene in a male fetus with a favorable outcome
A 34-year-old, gravida 1, para 0, woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. She had a body height of 150  cm. Her husband was 38 years old and had a body height of 170 cm. The woman had a family history of short stature. Her elder sister had a body height of 148 cm, and her parents had a body height of 145 cm. However, her brother had a body height of 165 cm. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis of amniotic fluid revealed a result of arr Xp22.33 (581,803–795,716)×0–1 mat with a 213.9-kb Xp22.33 microdele...

Prenatal diagnosis of mosaicism for trisomy 15 in a single colony at amniocentesis with a favorable fetal outcome
We previously reported prenatal diagnosis of low-level mosaicism for trisomy 15 at amniocentesis with a favorable pregnancy outcome [1]. Here, we present an additional case of mosaicism for trisomy 15 in a single colony at amniocentesis with a favorable fetal outcome. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Sclerotherapy for placenta accreta: Some concerns
Malag ón Reyes et al [1] proposed a novel procedure to reduce bleeding during cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta (accreta, increta, and percreta). Vessel-sclerosing polidocanol solution was injected through an umbilical vein cannula and the bilateral internal hypogastric arteries were ligated, f ollowed by hysterectomy, leading to a relatively small amount of bleeding [average: 2.7 L (range: 2.5–3.0)]. We have some concerns. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Response to the comments of Dr Shigeki Matsubara
The authors celebrate the interest of an expert in this field. In relation to the first point in the surgical technique of our article, we decannulate the umbilical vein after the extraction of the fetus, so that there would be no fetal complications due to sclerosis. By contrast, the extension of sclerosed maternal vessels with the polidocanol dose we used has not been quantified. We agree that the vessel sclerosis extent may differ individually, which demands a training period. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Managing vulvovaginal hematoma by arterial embolization as first-line hemostatic therapy
A puerperal vulvovaginal hematoma may continue to grow after a surgical procedure and may require blood transfusion. Thus, we selected arterial embolization for hemostasis as the first-line management in two cases of large vulvovaginal hematoma. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

The association of enchondromatosis with malignant transformed chondrosarcoma and ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor (Ollier disease)
Ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor has an interesting association with multiple enchondromatosis (Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome) and should be considered a leading diagnosis when an ovarian mass is found in young patients with these conditions. Besides the association with nonskeletal malignancies, there is a high risk of malignant transformation of enchondroma in chondrosarcoma as was also the case in this instance.

Unusual clinical presentations of choriocarcinoma: A systematic review of case reports
Choriocarcinoma (CC) is a highly malignant tumor originating in the trophoblastic tissue. The clinical presentation of CC is so much varied that every case may be one of its kinds and thus can be a diagnostic challenge. Numerous case reports have been published in various journals regarding the unusual clinical presentations of this cancer. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of all case reports in English language on gestational CC published in PubMed-indexed journals from 1998 to 2015.

Maternal dyslipidemia during pregnancy may increase the risk of preterm birth: A meta-analysis
Epidemiological studies have reported an inconsistent relationship between maternal lipid levels and preterm birth (PTB). We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between maternal dyslipidemia and PTB. Overall, three nested case-control studies and eight cohort studies were eligible. Effect estimates [odds ratio(OR)/relative risk] were pooled using a fixed-effects or a random-effects model. Subgroup and metaregression analyses were conducted to evaluate the sources of heterogeneity. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Meta-analysis of validity of echogenic intracardiac foci for calculating the risk of Down syndrome in the second trimester of pregnancy
The objective of this study is to assess the validity of echogenic intracardiac foci for Down syndrome detection in the second trimester ultrasound scan. A systematic search in major bibliographic databases was carried out (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL). Twenty-five studies about echogenic intracardiac foci were selected for statistical synthesis in this systematic review. Those 25 considered to be relevant were then subjected to critical reading, following the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme criteria, by at least three independent observers.

Preliminary preventive protocol from first trimester of pregnancy to reduce preterm birth rate for dichorionic –diamniotic twins
The preterm birth rate of twins is reportedly higher than that of single pregnancies. We performed preliminary preventive interventions at our center focused on evaluating the risk of each case before 14 weeks of gestation to reduce the spontaneous preterm birth rate.
