A total of 511 females with multiple pregnancy (486 with twins and 25 with triplets) were examined for the nature of fetal development, and management of pregnancy, labor and postpartum period. An early diagnosis was found to play a decisive role in the implementation of therapeutical and preventive measures. A classification of the prenatal development of monozygotic twins was presented. It was shown that the optimal management of pregnancy in multiple-pregnant females was effective in relation to the time of employing the basic components of the program. It was demonstrated that the active management of labour was important in multiple pregnancy; the results of clinical trials of this procedure were also provided. In terms of the risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality, three groups were identified, these may include females with multiple pregnancy. Implementing the proposed treatment-and-prevention measures showed that perinatal morbidity and mortality rates in multiple pregnancy might be substantially reduced.

Background: Under-five mortality continues to be a serious public health concern in low-and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa. This study investigates the probability of under-five survival and its predictors of mortality in the African continent using a recent demographic health survey from 2014-2022.

Methods: This study utilized recent Demographic and Health Survey data from 30 African countries, encompassing 226,862 live births.

Risk Factors for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Before 3 Months of Age: A Meta-Analysis.

JAMA Netw Open

January 2025

Interdisciplinary Orthopaedics, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark.

Importance: Two meta-analyses published in 2012 found breech presentation, family history of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), female sex, and primiparity to increase the risk of DDH. However, the DDH definition, reference tests, and the age of the examined children varied considerably, complicating the translation of those findings to current screening guidelines.

Objective: To evaluate the association of previously proposed risk factors with the risk of sonography-verified DDH.

SARS-CoV-2 Evolution: Implications for Diagnosis, Treatment, Vaccine Effectiveness and Development.

Vaccines (Basel)

December 2024

Microbiology and Virology Unit, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Cagliari, University Campus, 09042 Monserrato, Italy.

The COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the rapid evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, presents ongoing challenges to global public health. SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by rapidly evolving mutations, especially in (but not limited to) the spike protein, complicating predictions about its evolutionary trajectory. These mutations have significantly affected transmissibility, immune evasion, and vaccine efficacy, leading to multiple pandemic waves with over half a billion cases and seven million deaths globally.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) can lead to multiple complications when it occurs during pregnancy, so it is necessary to diagnose it promptly for effective treatment. Traditional methods for identifying spp. are often too time-consuming and have limited specificity and sensitivity.

Our knowledge about the consumption of cannabinoids during pregnancy lacks consistent evidence to determine whether it compromises neurodevelopment. Addressing this task is challenging and complex since pregnant women display multiple confounding factors that make it difficult to identify the real effect of cannabinoids' consumption. Recent studies shed light on this issue by using pluripotent stem cells of human origin, which can recapitulate human neurodevelopment.
