Introduction: Antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) administration before anticipated preterm birth is one of the most important interventions available to improve neonatal outcomes. Nevertheless, this treatment is associated with an increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia. The aim of this study was to determine whether preterm twins who receive ACS are at increased risk for developing neonatal hypoglycemia.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the pregnancy outcomes of women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) who have had five or more pregnancies (grand multiparity) and compares them to two control groups: those with fewer pregnancies and those without aPL/APS.
  • Results showed that while most pregnancy-related parameters were similar across the groups, grand multiparity women with aPL/APS had higher rates of obstetric APS diagnosis, older maternal age, higher body mass index (BMI), more cases of polyhydramnios, and delivered larger babies.
  • The conclusions suggest that the perinatal outcomes for grand multiparity women with aPL/APS are not worse than those of their counterparts

Introduction: Insulin requirement in women with Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) changes throughout pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine the total change in insulin requirements and the effect of gestational weight gain (GWG) and pre-gestational BMI on insulin requirements during pregnancy in women with T1DM treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and continuous glucose monitoring.

Methods: This historical cohort study included all consecutive women with T1DM who were monitored during pregnancy at the high-risk pregnancy clinic at a tertiary medical center during April 2011-April 2019.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy of the portal system in fetuses with persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV).

Methods: Prospective observational study of fetuses diagnosed with PRUV. All patients underwent a comprehensive portal system anatomy scan supplemented by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) color doppler modalities.

Aims: To assess the effect of using sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAP) during pregnancy on neonatal birth weight percentile and other neonatal and pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) treated with an insulin pump and sensor that enabled the SAP feature during pregnancy. SAP use was defined as utilization of either low-glucose suspend (LGS) or predictive LGS technology.
