SummaryAkkaraman sheep (Ovis aries Linnaeus, 1758) are densely breed in the region of Middle Anatolian in Turkey. Anatolian wild sheep (Ovis gmelini anatolica Valenciennes, 1856) is also subspecies of a wild sheep existing in the exact center of these lands and exists as little number only in the place of Bozdağ at the east of Konya. In this study, it is aimed that the mandibular bones of the Akkaraman sheep and Anatolian wild sheep are compared for morphologic and geometric morphometrics. In this study, the mandibular bones of 16 Anatolian wild sheep and 10 specimen Akkaraman sheep were used. In this study, the mandibular bones of the species were appeared quite similar. The geometric morphometrics analysis clearly determined the morphological differences between both species. On the lateral direction of the mandibular bones of each species, mutual ten each pieces homolog landmarks were used. In the analysis of the relative warp, RW1 explained 56.46% of total variation and RW2 explained 11.40% of total variation. Evident differences were determined among all of the homologous landmarks (except to anterio-ventral corner's point of P 2 tooth) used at the mandible of Anatolian wild sheep and Akkaraman sheep. As the most evident, firstly, posterio-ventral corner of M 3 tooth and homologous landmarks in the levels of anterior directed combination of lines of the angel for the vessels and dorsal-ventral masseteric ridges were observed..

We postulate that definition of discordant growth in twin gestations should be categorized with respect to gestational week since the level of discordance prejudicing fetal or neonatal jeopardy may vary in different stages of pregnancy.

In our study, we evaluated a large data pool of 183 patients diagnosed with borderline epithelial ovarian tumors. BOTs have a relatively better prognosis than invasive epithelial ovarian cancer. Surgery with proper staging is the cornerstone of treatment. Patients with BOTs at the early stage can undergo fertility sparing surgery with close follow-up.

Even though most instances of partial mole are triploid, only a few cases of diploid partial moles have been reported. Prognosis of partial mole is usually better than the complete mole as few cases of partial moles progress to persistent trophoblastic disease. However, the nature and the risks of diploid partial moles are not well established and they seem to be a distinct clinical entity. Here we report a case of partial mole presenting with a 22 weeks live fetus and preeclampsia. Fetal blood sampling was performed for cytogenetic analysis which revealed a diploid (46XY) karyotype. No progression to malignant gestational trophoblastic disease occurred.
