Introduction: The regulation of vascular tone in the fetoplacental circulation is governed by endocrine and mechanical forces yielding a relaxed basal state in normal pregnancy. Flow mediated vasodilation, induced by shear stress and endothelial nitric oxide signalling, is key to driving vasorelaxation in this circulation. The pulsatile property of blood flow, as opposed to the flow rate, could provide an additional factor in this regulation, but its effects and signalling have never been explored in the fetoplacental microvasculature.

Objective: The marginal, basal and subchorial regions of the placenta are considered to be more hypoxic than other regions. Therefore, it is not recommended to determine the increase in syncytiotrophoblast knots, based on the major morphological change in placental hypoxia, from the samples taken from these regions. However, the normal count of knots at various regions of placenta is not investigated.

MSCT is characterized by a clinical symptom complex comprising marked intrauterine growth retardation, oligohydramnios, and fetal distress due to placental circulatory problems. Perinatal outcomes are appreciably determined by the term of pregnancy, the degree of placental insufficiency, and neonatal status.

Objective: We sought to evaluate the association between placental histological abnormalities and birthweight discordance and growth restriction in twin pregnancies.
Study Design: We performed a multicenter, prospective study of twin pregnancies. Placentas were examined for evidence of infarction, retroplacental hemorrhage, chorangioma, subchorial fibrin, or abnormal villus maturation.

A male infant born prematurely at 31 weeks of gestation weighed 789 g and had mildly brown-colored oral/tracheal aspirates at delivery. The amniotic fluid was also discolored, and its index was below 5. The patient died of hypoxemic respiratory and cardiac failure 2 hours after birth.
