Superfertility and subfertility in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss: A comparative analysis of clinical characteristics and etiology based on differences in fertile ability.

This study aimed to elucidate the etiologies of and risk factors for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) according to fertile ability, focusing on the differences between superfertile and subfertile patients. This retrospective observational study included 828 women with RPL between July 2017 and February 2020. Patients were divided into three groups based on time to pregnancy (TTP): superfertile (SUP) (TTP ≤3 months for all previous pregnancies), subfertile (SUB) (previous TTP ≥12 months and use of assisted reproductive technology [ART]), and Normal (N) (TTP >3 or <12 months without ART).

Preeclampsia in a pregnant woman with severe aplastic anemia: A case report.

A pregnant woman with severe aplastic anemia was managed using biweekly red blood cell transfusion and oral eltrombopag olamine administration during pregnancy. She was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 35 weeks of gestation. The severity of aplastic anemia is very important for predicting the course of pregnancy.

Upregulated serum granulysin levels in women with antiphospholipid antibody-associated recurrent miscarriage are downregulated by heparin treatment.

Purpose: Granulysin is a cytotoxic protein that simultaneously activates innate and cellular immunity. The authors aimed to evaluate whether granulysin is associated with the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and whether heparin changes the granulysin levels.

Methods: A cohort study was performed with women with antiphospholipid antibody-positive recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

Maternal cell contamination in embryonic chromosome analysis of missed abortions.

Aim: The fetal sample used for embryonic chromosome analysis is often contaminated with maternal cells, making it difficult to evaluate the fetal chromosomes. We examined on the rate of maternal cell contamination and its relationship with maternal information in the embryonic chromosome analysis of missed abortions using the Giemsabanding method.

Methods: Chromosome analysis was performed in 200 cases of delayed miscarriages in first trimester between July 1, 2000 and May 31, 2019.

Effects of Thrombophilia and Antithrombotic Therapy on Embryonic Chromosomal Aberration Rates in Patients with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss.

Background: Miscarriage occurs in 10-15% of pregnancies and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) occurs in 1% of couples hoping for a child. Various risk factors, such as thrombophilia, uterine malformation, and embryonic chromosomal aberration cause RPL. We hypothesized that antithrombotic therapy for RPL patients with thrombophilia would reduce miscarriage due to thrombophilia, which would reduce the total miscarriages and result in a relative increase in miscarriage due to embryonic chromosomal aberrations.
