Twin pregnancy. Management of delivery.

Clin Perinatol

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Tennessee Medical Center, Knoxville.

Published: March 1988

Management of the twin delivery remains controversial, particularly when the second twin in nonvertex and has an estimated fetal weight of 600 to 1500 gm. Management of schemes based on fetal presentation and estimated weights, as well as specific techniques and options for intrapartum care, are discussed.

The Effects of Three Methods of Luteal Phase Support on Pregnancy Outcomes in Poor Ovarian Responders: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Int J Fertil Steril

January 2025

Department of Basic and Population Based Studies in NCD, Reproductive Epidemiology Research Center, Royan Institute, ACECR, Tehran, Iran.

Background: The effectiveness of changing the type of luteal phase support in patients with poor ovarian response (POR) remains unclear based on the available evidence. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of various luteal phase support (LPS) methods, including progesterone alone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) alone, and the combination of progesterone with hCG, in these patients.

Materials And Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 375 patients diagnosed with POR based on the Bologna criteria underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ET) cycles at the Royan Institute between November 2015 and June 2019.

Objective: Monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with amniotic fluid abnormalities that do not meet criteria for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) concern physicians and families. This study aimed to describe the natural history of amniotic fluid abnormalities.

Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, TTTS screening ultrasounds and clinical records throughout all MCDA twin gestations were reviewed between 2018 and 2022 at a tertiary fetal care center.

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) which is judged based on birth weight and gestational age, is associated with increased neonatal mobility and mortality and also has a further impact on physical and mental health during later in life. Using the birth weight percentile for singletons to assess twins might not accurately reflect the growth status of the twins; this could potentially lead to an incorrect evaluation of growth-restricted children. For a more precise assessment of twin newborns, it is beneficial to utilize twin-specific birth weight percentile curves and ponderal index (PI) curves that consider factors such as birth order and sex.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review of the Reported Cases.

Clin Med Insights Endocrinol Diabetes

January 2025

Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, UK.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare but serious complication that can develop during pregnancy, with up to 30% of patients presenting with euglycemia, making prompt recognition challenging. It is associated with increased perinatal mortality rates, although the exact risk of maternal mortality remains unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the available literature and provide an overview of reported cases of DKA during pregnancy.
