First-trimester screening and small for gestational age in twin pregnancies: a single center cohort study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal factors and first-trimester biophysical and biochemical markers with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates in twin pregnancies (TwPs).

Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study of TwPs followed from January 2010 to December 2022 at a tertiary perinatal center, Portugal. Maternal and pregnancy characteristics, mean arterial pressure, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) were analyzed.

Cytomegalovirus congenital infection: long-term outcomes in a valaciclovir treated population.

Objectives: This case series aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in a population treated with valaciclovir during pregnancy. The study focuses on assessing the prevalence of long-term sequelae in infants with confirmed CMV fetal infection.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 pregnancies corresponding to 34 fetus with confirmed CMV congenital infection.

Breech Presentation: Vaginal Versus Cesarean Delivery, Which Intervention Leads to the Best Outcomes?

Introduction: The best route of delivery for the term breech fetus is still controversial. We aim to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between vaginal and cesarean term breech deliveries.

Material And Methods: Multicentric retrospective cohort study of singleton term breech fetuses delivered vaginally or by elective cesarean section from January 2012 - October 2014.

Glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix and metastasis in episiotomy scar: a case report.

Objective: The authors describe the 20th known case of cervical cancer with metastasis in an episiotomy scar, being the first case describing an implant of malignant cells in the episiotomy scar associated with glassy cell carcinoma.

Materials And Methods: One case report.

Results: We describe the case of a 34-year-old woman, with cervical cancer diagnosed 1 month after delivery.

[Diabetes in pregnancy - postpartum screening].

Introduction: One third of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) will have diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism at postpartum screening.

Objective: Evaluate the percentage of women submitted postpartum screening and associate the result with maternal history.

Methods: Retrospective investigation of 1013 pregnancies with GDM (2005-2009).

Calcinosis cutis universalis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus: an exuberant case.

Calcinosis cutis is an uncommon disease of unclear pathophysiology that is often disabling. It is characterized by the formation of calcium deposits in the skin or subcutaneous tissue. It is classified into four subtypes: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic or iatrogenic.

Cutaneous metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma: an exuberant and unusual clinical presentation.

There are different types of skin changes associated with internal malignancy. One type is the skin involvement as a result of cutaneous metastasis from an internal tumor. The skin is an uncommon site for distant metastasis; when it is present the most common sources are breast, lung, and colon.
