Delayed interval delivery of the second twin: obstetric management, neonatal outcomes, and 2-year follow-up.

Objectives: To evaluate the obstetric management and neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies with delayed delivery of the second twin, including follow-up.

Methods: This study is a review of four cases of delayed delivery of the second twin in our hospital from 2009 to 2012. The obstetric management of the cases from the expulsion of the first twin to the delivery of the second twin is analyzed.

Mesenchymal hamartoma: prenatal and postnatal diagnosis by imaging.

We present a case of a twin pregnancy in which one fetus developed a rapidly growing unilateral intrathoracic tumor. While a cystic adenomatoid malformation was suspected in the ultrasound scan, the magnetic resonance scan suggested a pulmonary blastoma or a bronchioalveolar carcinoma. Postnatal chest radiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the affected newborn were performed, and it was ruled out the possibility of malignant origin.

Fetal arthrogryposis secondary to a giant maternal uterine leiomyoma.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenital is a rare condition defined as contractures in multiple joints at birth due to disorders starting in fetal life. Its etiology is associated with many different conditions and in many instances remains unknown. The final common pathway to all of them is decreased fetal movement (fetal akinesia) due to an abnormal intrauterine environment.

Effect of antiangiogenic treatment on peritoneal endometriosis-associated nerve fibers.

Objective: To investigate the effect of antiangiogenic treatment on experimental endometriotic lesion nerve fibers.

Design: Heterologous mouse model of endometriosis.

Setting: University Institute IVI, University Hospital La Fe.

Pregnancy outcomes after kidney transplantation-immunosuppressive therapy comparison.

Objective: To assess maternal, neonatal and graft outcomes after pregnancy in patients with kidney transplantation, and to compare the immunosuppressive therapies used.

Methods: Review of 29 pregnancies in 23 patients with kidney transplantation, managed at La Fe University Hospital, Valencia. Immunosuppressive therapies with Cyclosporine-A, Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate mofetil and Azathioprine were compared.
