Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the risk of pregnancy complications in twin pregnancies and to investigate the relationship between glycemic levels and the risk of preeclampsia (PE) and abnormal fetal growth.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 736 twin pregnancies was conducted at a tertiary hospital. Propensity score matching and multivariable logistic models were utilized to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between twin pregnancies with GDM and those without GDM.

Fetal Hemoglobin as a Predictive Biomarker for Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study in Portugal.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of vision impairment in preterm infants, with its pathogenesis linked to oxygen exposure. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, commonly performed in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), reduce fetal hemoglobin (HbF) fraction, altering oxygen dynamics and potentially contributing to ROP. We aimed to investigate the relationship between RBC transfusions, HbF percentage, and ROP, evaluating HbF as a potential predictive biomarker.

Role of B-Cell Lymphoma/Leukemia 11A in Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis.

Biology (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Hematology, the Second Xiangya Hospital, School of Life Sciences, Hunan Province Key Laboratory of Basic and Applied Hematology, Central South University, Changsha 410011, China.

B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A (BCL11A) is a crucial transcriptional regulator, widely recognized for its role in controlling fetal hemoglobin and its potential as a gene therapy target for inherited hemoglobinopathies. Beyond this, recent studies have also highlighted its key role in the maturation and function of immune cells and erythrocytes, mediated through the regulation of various molecules during hematopoietic development. The dysregulation of BCL11A disrupts downstream molecular pathways, contributing to the development of several hematological malignancies, particularly leukemias.

This study reports the diagnosis and treatment of a 26-year-old pregnant woman with severe malnutrition combined with acute pyelonephritis causing sepsis, refractory septic shock and multiple organ failure. A female patient, 26 years old, was admitted to hospital mainly due to "menelipsis for more than 19 weeks, nausea and vomiting for 20 days, fever with fatigue for 3 days". At the end of 19 weeks of intrauterine pregnancy, the patient presented with fever accompanied by urinary tract irritation.
