Nanopore-based metagenomics analysis reveals microbial presence in amniotic fluid: A prospective study.

Background: Current research on amniotic fluid (AF) microbiota yields contradictory data, necessitating an accurate, comprehensive, and scientifically rigorous evaluation.

Objective: This study aimed to characterise the microbial features of AF and explore the correlation between microbial information and clinical parameters.

Methods: 76 AF samples were collected in this prospective cohort study.

Comparisons between two methods of multifetal pregnancy reduction in women with a dichorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy.

Objective: To compare the different pregnancy outcomes of women with a reduced dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplet managed with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or potassium chloride (KCL).

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. We studied 30 women of DCTA triplets managed with RFA as well as 85 managed with KCL.
