Highlights d Generation of human androgenetic and parthenogenetic ESCs (aESCs and pESCs) d Comparing aESCs and pESCs identifies known and formerly undescribed imprinted genes d The uniparental cells show tissue-specific parent-of-origin differentiation biases d The imprinted gene IGF2 is involved in hepatic differentiation bias of human aESCs

Reference values for right and left fetal kidney volumes throughout gestation using the rotational technique (VOCAL) are described. The use of this technique might aid in further definition of gestational age kidney volume standards to help in defining variations from the norm.

After completing this CME activity, physicians should be better able to understand the pathogenesis and pathophysiologicprocess involved in this disease, improve the treatment of the disease, educate medical students and residents with a better comprehension of the pathophysiologic process of the disease, stimulate new researches to establish the regulations of these hormones all together in the pathophysiologic process of preeclampsia, and develop new methods for screening and prevention preeclampsia based on maternal serum evaluations of hormonal levels.
