Is Feto-Maternal Transfusion after Cesarean Delivery Different in Singleton and Twin Pregnancy?

The aim of the study was to investigate if feto-maternal transfusion was related to the size of the fetal-maternal interface, and, therefore, was larger in twin pregnancy in comparison with singleton pregnancy. : Blood samples from women with singleton ( = 11), and monochorionic ( = 11) and dichorionic ( = 13) twin gestations were tested. Flow cytometry tests with hemoglobin F, glycophorin A, and hemoglobin F and carbonic anhydrase simultaneous staining were used to detect fetal red blood cells and maternal F cells.

A Relation between Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Pregnancy and Delivering Small for Gestational Age Infant-A Systematic Review.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during pregnancy can negatively affect both the mother and the baby. Our main goal is to show whether there is an association between OSA during pregnancy and delivering small for gestational age (SGA) infants. This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 statement using three databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library.
