A molar pregnancy occurs when instead of a baby forming inside of your uterus, basically a cluster of just tissue forms due to a genetic error. A partial molar pregnancy occurs when part of the cell is a healthy embryo and part of it contains abnormal cells. This can also occur (but is rare) with twins when one is a healthy embryo and other is a mole. Usually the mole ends up overtaking the healthy embryo.

What are the key differences between molar pregnancy partial vs complete, and how do they impact the diagnosis and treatment of this condition?

Molar pregnancy is a rare condition where abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a normal pregnancy. The key difference between partial and complete molar pregnancies lies in the genetic makeup of the abnormal tissue. In partial molar pregnancies, there is an abnormal fetus with some normal placental tissue, while in complete molar pregnancies, there is no fetus and all the tissue is abnormal. Diagnosis of molar pregnancy is typically done through ultrasound and blood tests to measure hormone levels. Treatment usually involves removing the abnormal tissue through a procedure called dilation and curettage (DC). In complete molar pregnancies, there is a higher risk of complications such as persistent trophoblastic disease, which may require additional treatment like chemotherapy. Partial molar pregnancies have a lower risk of complications compared to complete molar pregnancies.


Partial molar property and its applications?

Partial molar properties are useful thermodynamic properties because their molar average equals the property itself. In this article, we present a description of partial properties in general, and we show that for many partial properties, partial molar properties being a subset, the property is a molar average of the partial properties. Although partial molar properties remain the most useful, several of the other partial properties could have practical applications. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009

Yolk sac with no baby with hcg level of 8000?

Could possibly be a case of a complete molar/partial molar pregnancy. With a complete molar there will be no baby and the hcg levels rise very rapidly and can get to a very high number. With partial molar, there will be a baby but the tissues began to grow and the pregnancy is no viable. The fetus will stop growing and the tissues will continue to grow and the hcg levels continue to rise at a rapid pace as well. This will require a d&c and hcg levels must be monitored after until they reach zero. This could take some time and in some cases further treatment is needed.


What is the cause of a molar pregnancy?

A molar pregnancy is an abnormally fertilized egg. Molar pregnancies occur when the fertilized egg does not have any of the mother's chromosones, or the father's chromosones duplicate.


Can ultrasound differentiate molar pregnancy and fibroid?

Yes it can!


What is the difference between partial molal quantities and partial molar quantities?

During the determination of the partial molal quantities the weight of the solution to which a substance is added is taken into consideration while in case of the partial molar quantity the volume is taken into consideration.


If you had a molar pregnancy before could you still have kids?

I had a molar pregnancy and my doctor recommended to wait at least one year to try again. Then I had a miscarriage and after that, I had two more kids.


What is molar polarisation?

Molar polarisation is the separation of positive and negative charges within a molecule or ion due to differences in electronegativity or other factors. This can result in a molecule having a partial positive and partial negative charge, making it polar.

What is difference between partial molar volume and specific volume?

Partial molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of a component in a mixture at constant temperature and pressure, while specific volume is the volume occupied by one unit mass of a substance. Partial molar volume takes into account the presence of other components in the mixture, while specific volume is unique to a single substance regardless of its surroundings.
