Pseudopregnancy detection is significant while as the false pregnancy may show all symptoms. It is important to differentiate it. This is a case report of a pseudopregnancy which led to an emergency cesarean section. A 28-year-old woman who claimed to 7-month pregnancy was brought to the rural health center by husband families complaining of vaginal bleeding. The woman refers to an urban hospital by Emergency Medical Service with the diagnosis of placenta previa. In the hospital, she underwent an emergency cesarean section due to a severe deceleration of fetal heart rate, prior to assessing by sonography. No fetus or signs of uterine or abdominal pregnancy were found. Wrong auscultation of the mother's heart rate instead of fetal heart rate seems to be the main error. It is required to pay more attention to the methods of differentiation of fetal heart rate from the mother's heart rate. This report enlightens false pregnancy and early differentiation.

COVID-19 is a global crisis that requires a deep understanding of infection pathways to facilitate the development of effective treatments and vaccines. Telomere, which is regarded as a biomarker for other respiratory viral infections, might influence the demographic distribution of COVID-19 infection and fatality rates. Viral infection can induce many cellular remodeling events and stress responses, including telomere specific alterations, just as telomere shortening. In brief, this letter aims to highlight the connection between telomere shortening and susceptibility to COVID-19 infection, in addition to changes in telomeric length according to the variation of age and gender of confirmed cases with COVID-19 infection. To sum up, the correlation is revealed from the available data that connect telomere length and COVID-19 infection, demonstrated in the fact that the elderly patients and males are more susceptible to COVID-19 due to shortening in their telomere length.

Orofacial clefts (OFC) are one of the most common congenital problems seen with a very high incidence. It imparts a negative effect on the overall health of the child by hindering in his feeding practices, normal facial growth, development of dentition and hence speech. Infants born with orofacial clefts have oronasal communication which creates a problem with the creation of negative pressure inside the oral cavity required for suckling.The treatment for such patients is with the multidisciplinary approach but the preliminary  concern for the neonate is to help with the feeding for which a feeding appliance is given. This case report presents a case of a 3-day old infant to whom a feeding appliance was given to aid in suckling.
