[Embryochorionic insufficiency: anatomic and physiologic prerequisites, rationale, definitions and pathogenetic
Abstract:
The paper provides a rationale for the new concept--embryochorionic insufficiency as a combined pathological response of extraembryonic structures and an embryo to different maternal exo- and endogenous disorders; it gives rise to early spontaneous abortions and non-developing pregnancies. The main pathogenetic mechanisms of embryochorionic insufficiency are: 1) endometrial structural incompetence; 2) dyschronism in the development of the extraembryonic coelom, amniotic cavity, yolk sac, and early placenta; 3) insufficient cytotrophoblast invasion; 4) discordant hemodynamic relationships; 5) blood rheological disorders; 6) local inflammation (endometritis); 7) oxidative stress; 8) secondary changes in the placental villi; 9) compensatory responses.

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
