    Abstract The human papillomavirus can induce condyloma acuminata, a benign papillomatous squamous growth with a fibrovascular core that arises in the vaginal canal. These illnesses typically afflict women who are fertile and are frequently encountered during pregnancy, manifesting with a variety of symptoms. The influences of hormones and vaginal secretions cause the lesion to expand quickly during pregnancy. Viral infections are known to be one risk factor for threatening abortions. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) during pregnancy has been associated with a risk for spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, and abnormalities in the placenta. There are many therapeutic approaches available to address the disease; however, it is still unclear which one is the most successful. Additionally, organogenesis is crucial throughout the first trimester, and treatment during this period may elevate the risk of spontaneous abortion. Here, we describe the case of a young woman who experienced vaginal lesions during the first trimester of her pregnancy.

    Abstract A hydatidiform mole (HM), often known as molar pregnancy, is a type of prenatal trophoblastic illness that develops in the placenta and has the potential to spread. HMs are caused by genetic issues with either the egg or the sperm. They are typically discovered in the first trimester of pregnancy. Abnormal bleeding is one of the initial symptoms, which can seldom be accompanied by the passage of hydropic villi. Theca lutein cysts, absent fetal heart tones, enlarged uterus more than anticipated for gestational age, pregnancy-induced hypertension in the first trimester, hyperemesis, and increased levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) for gestational dates are other characteristic symptoms and signs. A rare type of follicular cyst known as a theca lutein cyst is a benign ovarian disease caused by natural overstimulation of follicles, also known as hyperreactio lutealis (HL). This is linked to choriocarcinomas, multiple gestations, and prenatal trophoblastic illness (molar pregnancy). Unless exacerbated by torsion, rupture, or bleeding, the majority of theca lutein cysts are treated conservatively. Theca lutein cysts do not impact the course of pregnancy and spontaneously recede following delivery. However, HL may mistakenly be diagnosed by doctors as a cancer during pregnancy if it has the potential to look like one. Frequently, inappropriate surgical intervention is caused by the fear of failing to diagnose malignancy. These treatments may therefore result in decreased fertility in the future. Here we present a case of a young unmarried female with an HM and cysts.

    New Evidence and Thoughts on an Elusive Path to Self-Reliance

    Abstract The provision of formal micro-credit for refugees has been promoted as a dignified way to improve their ability to generate income through small-scale enterprises and reduce poverty. As humanitarian funding declines in protracted displacement situations, such approaches are sought to transform refugees into self-reliant, resilient, entrepreneurial agents who are no longer dependent on aid and can overcome a crisis with their own resources and financial confidence. The paper in hand questions this claim on the basis of new, comprehensive empirical insights on the financial lives of refugees in non-camp settings in Jordan. By applying the perspective of the credit users, not the suppliers, our evidence shows that the pervasive use of debt (mostly informal) does not signify latent demand for formal micro-credit. In a context where refugees face restrictions on right to work, move, set up businesses, and imagine a future in the host country, formal credit cannot improve self-reliance. The paper sheds light on a larger variety of sources of debt that are crucial for refugees to manage their lives. In conclusion, the paper argues that the rhetoric around micro-credit as a path to refugee self-reliance has to be re-visited as problematic, even damaging, and humanitarian actors should push this agenda with caution.

    Abstract This comprehensive review provides an in-depth examination of congenital anomalies of the female genital tract, explicitly focusing on the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Müllerian Anomalies Classification. The classification system is crucial for standardizing communication and guiding accurate diagnoses in clinical practice. The review explores the diverse clinical presentations, etiological factors, and diagnostic modalities associated with these anomalies. Management strategies, ranging from conservative approaches to advanced reproductive technologies, are discussed in the context of individualized treatment plans based on the ASRM classification. The psychosocial impact of female genital tract anomalies is thoroughly examined, emphasizing the importance of holistic care and patient-centered approaches. Looking toward the future, the review outlines emerging research areas, including advances in diagnosis techniques, innovative treatment modalities, and genetic studies. It ultimately underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of physical and psychosocial dimensions, offering insights for healthcare professionals to navigate this complex landscape and improve the lives of affected individuals.

    Abstract Introduction Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) have difficulty in bimanual coordination that restricts the child’s independence in daily activities. Although several efficacious interventions to improve bimanual coordination exist, these interventions often require higher training doses and have modest effect sizes. Thus, there is a critical need to find an effective priming agent that, when paired with task-specific training, will facilitate neurobiological processes to enhance the magnitude of training effects and subsequently improve functional capabilities of children with UCP. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of a novel priming agent, remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC), combined with bimanual training on bimanual skill learning and corticospinal excitability in children with UCP.Methods and analyses 46 children, aged 8–16 years, will be randomly assigned to receive RIC or sham conditioning combined with 5 days of bimanual skill (cup stacking) training (15 trials per session). RIC or sham conditioning will be performed with a standard conditioning protocol of five cycles of alternative inflation and deflation of a pressure cuff on the affected arm with the pressure of at least 20 mm Hg above systolic blood pressure for RIC and 25 mm Hg for sham conditioning. Primary outcomes will be movement time and corticospinal excitability measures determined with a single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Secondary outcomes include Assisting Hand Assessment, spatio-temporal kinematic variables and paired pulse TMS measures. All measures will be conducted before and immediately after the intervention. A mixed model analysis of variance will test the group×time interaction for all outcomes with group (RIC and sham) as between-subject and time (preintervention, postintervention) as within-subject factors.Ethics and dissemination The study has been approved by the University Medical Centre Institutional Review Board (UMCIRB #21-001913).

    Abstract When a patient is undergoing uterine artery embolization (UAE) which is considered a modality that is safer than surgical management for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), one must acknowledge as a surgeon the existence of rare but serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We encountered such a case where a 34-year-old female (para-3 living-3) with AUB and severe anemia because of heavy bleeding required multiple blood transfusions and was treated with UAE. The procedure was uneventful and the patient was discharged. However, later she presented with DVT of the right lower limb which was promptly managed with an inferior vena cava filter implant and thrombolysis, which prevented life-threatening sequelae such as pulmonary embolism and, potentially, death. Therefore, one must be vigilant about such complications despite UAE being a safer alternative to surgical management for gynecological complaints.
