Article Abstract
Ectopic liver tissue represents a rare entity and is mostly attributed to events occurring during embryogenesis. Previous case reports documented the presence of fetal liver parenchyma within temporarily developed organs during pregnancy, such as the placenta or the umbilical cord. Moreover, the terminology of these benign findings varies from "ectopic liver" to "hepatocellular adenoma-like neoplasm" or "hepatocellular adenoma". Ancillary tests performed on these lesions have shown positive immunohistochemical staining for hepatocellular origin marker HepPar-1. Only one recent case report comprising molecular analysis showed no beta-catenin gain-of-function mutation. We report a case of ectopic liver in one placenta of a twin pregnancy, with an updated review of literature.

AI-Driven Fetal Liver Echotexture Analysis: A New Frontier in Predicting Neonatal Insulin Imbalance.
J Ultrasound Med

Department of Clinical Analysis, Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis, Brazil.
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based models in predicting elevated neonatal insulin levels through fetal hepatic echotexture analysis.
Methods: This diagnostic accuracy study analyzed ultrasound images of fetal livers from pregnancies between 37 and 42 weeks, including cases with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Images were stored in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format, annotated by experts, and converted to segmented masks after quality checks.

Malaria and amoebic infections are considered risk factors for stillbirth and preterm labor, but their coexistence during pregnancy has not been previously reported. We describe the first case of averted maternal mortality with fetal death in utero at 22 weeks' gestation, complicated by both malaria and hepatic amoebic abscess, in a rural hospital in Burundi. Amoebic liver abscesses are rarely described in pregnancy and, as far as we are aware, never in conjunction with severe malaria: two parasitic infections requiring completely different treatments.

The circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and peripheral tissues functions to regulate key physiological and cellular systems in a cycle approximating 24 h. Understanding the ontogeny of the circadian clock mechanism during mammalian development is incomplete. Accordingly, we used the mouse as a model and a previously published RNAseq dataset to determine when expression of core genes regulating the circadian clock increase in transcript abundance in fetal and postnatal brain, heart, liver, and kidney.

Department of Epidemiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. Electronic address:
Steroid hormones are integral to pregnancy and fetal development, regulating processes such as metabolism, inflammation, and immune responses. Excessive prenatal steroid exposure, through lifestyle choices or environmental chemicals, can lead to metabolic dysfunctions in offspring. The research focuses on how exposure to testosterone (T) and bisphenol A (BPA) affects the liver's DNA methylome, a key component of the epigenome influencing long-term health.
