Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common liver disorder specific to pregnancy, typically presenting in the third trimester. It is characterized by pruritus, elevated serum bile acids, and abnormal liver function tests. While maternal symptoms resolve postpartum, ICP poses significant risks to fetal health, including spontaneous preterm labor, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and stillbirth. This review aims to synthesize current knowledge on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management and highlight emerging research and possible therapy directions in ICP. A comprehensive review of recent literature was conducted, focusing on molecular mechanisms, clinical management guidelines, fetal outcomes, and novel therapeutics under investigation. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) remains the primary pharmacologic treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy; however, its effect on perinatal outcomes is debated. Investigational therapies—including Volixibat, FXR agonists, 4-phenylbutyrate, and NorUDCA—are under exploration. These emerging therapies hold the potential to improve both maternal symptoms and perinatal outcomes by addressing the underlying pathophysiology of ICP more effectively than current standard treatment. Additionally, emerging biomarkers and machine-learning tools hold promise for improved diagnosis and personalized care. ICP continues to pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While maternal outcomes are generally favorable, optimizing fetal safety requires timely diagnosis, stratified risk assessment, and evidence-based delivery planning. Future research should prioritize identifying predictive biomarkers, refining treatment algorithms, and assessing long-term outcomes for both mothers and offspring. Special attention should also be given to the investigation of novel therapeutic targets.

Cervical cancer is considered to be particularly amenable to prevention and highly treatable in its early stages. The real-time optoelectronic method of cervix examination seemed to be very promising in the detection of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions and demonstrated relatively good efficacy. Although this method was introduced into clinics almost 10 years ago, it has not found its place in diagnostic schemes. At the moment, cytological smears and HPV detection with genotyping are still essential. TruScreen seems to be a slightly forgotten test. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of TruScreen in detecting cervical pathology: CIN and cervical cancer confirmed with a histopathological diagnosis in comparison with other methods–cytology and colposcopy over four years of observations. The study was conducted on 130 women with abnormal Pap smear results. We can conclude that a real-time optoelectronic method like TruScreen can be useful as an effective initial cervical cancer screening in developing countries, possibly in combination with other methods. The combination of cytology and TruScreen examination may help clinicians to take decision about the next diagnostics steps (e.g. colposcopy) and contribute to better primary screening for cervical cancer.

Background and Clinical Significance: This study presents a case of a 43-year-old female with a long history of infertility, treated for uterine leiomyoma and endometrial hyperplasia, over a total observation period of 42 months. Case Presentation: Levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) therapy, as a first and subsequent line of treatment, was introduced. The patient also received medroxyprogesterone acetate oral treatment. Finally, she underwent surgery for an ovarian tumor that appeared to be an ovarian adenocarcinoma concurrent with endometrial cancer. After the removal of the reproductive organ, the patient was diagnosed with synchronous low-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma in the endometrium and a concurrent grade 2 (G2) endometrioid adenocarcinoma in the left ovary. Conclusions: The prognosis and further management largely depend on whether these are two individual neoplasms or one metastatic tumor. Considering the young age of the patients, an early disease stage, a low grade of both cancers, and favorable prognosis, most synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancers are identified as two independent primary tumors. The diagnosis of a multi-focal neoplasm is important, as in patients with endometrial cancer and ovarian metastasis, the 5-year survival rate is 30–40%, whereas in the case of individual neoplasms, it is 75–80%.
