Objective: To investigate the association between functional parameters of the microcirculation and the systemic cardiovascular system in a population of pregnant women at risk for gestational hypertension disorders.
Study Design: For this observational study, women at high cardiovascular risk according to maternal anthropometrics, obstetric and medical history, were recruited at random gestational age depending on time of referral to the outpatient clinic for high risk prenatal care at Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg, Genk Belgium. After birth, data of maternal and neonatal outcome were obtained from the hospital records: only women with normal pregnancy (n = 142) and with preeclampsia (n = 34) were included in this analysis.

The twin testosterone transfer (TTT) hypothesis posits that females with male co-twins (opposite-sex, OS) might develop male-typical traits due to higher prenatal testosterone exposure. This study explored whether females of OS have lower 2D:4D digit ratios and higher testosterone levels compared to females of same-sex (SS) twin pairs. Conducted in Tamale from January to December 2022, the study included 40 participants aged 18-27 years: 10 males of OS, 10 females of OS, and 20 females of SS twin pairs.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of combining intrapartum ultrasound with free maternal positions in managing abnormal labor, specifically focusing on its impact on delivery outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 176 cases of abnormal labor progression in women who attempted vaginal delivery at our hospital from June 2021 to May 2022. Among these, 88 cases were diagnosed with abnormal fetal positions using a combination of intrapartum ultrasound and vaginal examination, and these patients were guided to adopt free maternal positions (experimental group).
