  2. Peg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peg_cell

    A peg cell is a non-ciliated epithelial secretory cell within the uterine tube (oviduct or fallopian tube). [1] These cells represent one of three epithelial cell types found within the normal fallopian tube epithelium and only make up around 10% of the total number of cells. The other two cell types are ciliated columnar and intercalary cells. [1]

  3. PEGylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEGylation

    Polyethylene glycol. PEGylation (or pegylation) is the process of both covalent and non-covalent attachment or amalgamation of polyethylene glycol (PEG, in pharmacy called macrogol) polymer chains to molecules and macrostructures, such as a drug, therapeutic protein or vesicle, which is then described as PEGylated.

  4. Gestational trophoblastic disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_trophoblastic...

    The cells that form gestational trophoblastic tumours are called trophoblasts and come from tissue that grows to form the placenta during pregnancy. There are several different types of GTD. A hydatidiform mole also known as a molar pregnancy, is the most common and is usually benign.

  5. Fallopian tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallopian_tube

    There are three different cell types in the epithelium. Around 25% of the cells are ciliated columnar cells; around 60% are secretory cells, and the rest are peg cells thought to be a secretory cell variant. [4] The ciliated cells are most numerous in the infundibulum, and the ampulla. Estrogen increases the formation of cilia on these cells.

  6. Prenatal testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_testing

    There are three purposes of prenatal diagnosis: (1) to enable timely medical or surgical treatment of a condition before or after birth, (2) to give the parents the chance to abort a fetus with the diagnosed condition, and (3) to give parents the chance to prepare psychologically, socially, financially, and medically for a baby with a health problem or disability, or for the likelihood of a ...

  7. Confined placental mosaicism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confined_placental_mosaicism

    Mitotic CPM - Mitotic non-disjunction can occur in a trophoblast cell or a non-fetal cell from the inner cell mass creating a trisomic cell line in the tissue which is destined to become the placental mesoderm. Meiotic CPM - Alternatively, CPM can occur through the mechanism of trisomic rescue. If a trisomic conception undergoes trisomic rescue ...

  8. Ectodermal dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectodermal_dysplasia

    Treatment for Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) primarily focuses on managing symptoms and enhancing the quality of life, as there is currently no cure for the condition. A multidisciplinary approach is essential, involving dermatologists, dentists, otolaryngologists, and other specialists to address the wide range of manifestations associated with ED.

  9. Percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling - Wikipedia

    Finally, a white blood cell count can detect maternal blood in the sample, as fetal white blood cells are primarily leukocytes, while maternal white blood cells are mostly neutrophils. If amniotic fluid infiltrated the sample, then there would be a reduction in the volume of RBCs, white blood cells, and platelets in the sample. [9]
