Perception of genetically engineered crops in Paraguay.

Paraguay is integrated into the world mainly through its agricultural activity. The population's perception of genetically engineered crops is relevant to design communication strategies that convey the advantages and limitations of the various technologies used in the country. We aimed to know the perception of the population of four Departments of the country where such crops are grown through a survey, which revealed a low level of knowledge about genetically engineered crops in general, and specifically about the effects of genetically engineered crops on production, nutrition, and the environment. Respondents expressed a willingness to receive information on genetically engineered crops, in particular from the National Government and the Health Sector.

Hay invasión masiva de la decidua en el lugar de implantación por trofoblasto intermedio que manifiesta gigantismo nuclear, sugiriendo que el producto de un curetaje final del sitio de implantación sería más útil que el tejido de la mola hidrópica para otros estudios de ADN en relación al pronóstico
