Background: Twin pregnancies (TP) have shown a greater risk of adverse perinatal outcomes than singletons have. However, there is still no consensus about whether the TP achieved by assisted reproduction techniques (ART) have worse perinatal outcomes compared with TP achieved spontaneously.

Objective: Compare the incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes (preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, anemia, weight and destination of the newborn) in Mexican women with TP achieved spontaneously vs those with TP achieved by ART.

Objective: To evaluate the hydrogen peroxide ability to induce the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in an in vitro chorioamniotic membrane model.

Material And Methods: An experimental, transversal, analytic and prospective study was made. From amniotic membranes (n = 13) of term labour pregnant women chorionic and chorioamniotic explants were prepared; these were stimulated with hydrogen peroxide [200 mcM].

Objective: Human pregnancy disorders such as preeclampsia are thought to involve variations in cytokine levels. It has been proposed that, in preeclamptic women, a balance favoring the Th1-type over the Th2-type cytokine profile determines local or systemic immunologic responses to pregnancy and that this may cause defective placental implantation and placental ischemia, which activate systemic endothelial cells. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cytokine expression differs in the maternal, choriodecidual, and fetal compartments, and between women with or without preeclampsia.
