Objective: To summarize information about possible effects of covid-19 on intrauterine fetal death and present three cases of intrauterine fetal death in women with recent covid-19 infection.

Methods: Review of available information about pregnancy with covid-19 and comparison with own observation of cases during spring 2021.

Conclusion: Covid-19 influences risk of intrauterine fetal death, preeclampsia/eclampsia or HELLP syndrome. Coagulation changes and drop of platelets is considered as one of the causes of intrauterine fetal death due to fetal vascular malperfusion.

Background: Numerous agents in the workplace are suspected of impairing fetal growth. To date, no epidemiological studies have specifically described the occupational exposome during pregnancy.

Objective: The objectives were to determine maternal occupational exposome profiles and study their associations with intrauterine growth characteristics measured by small for gestational age (SGA), birthweight (BW), and head circumference (HC).

Background: Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is a condition due to maternal blood group antibodies targeting antigens in fetal red blood cells, with significant prenatal/perinatal morbidity and mortality. Severe HDFN cases are often associated with alloimmunization against Rhesus D (RhD) or Kell antigens. Information about HDFN epidemiology and treatment in Latin American countries is limited.

Rationale: The aim of this study is to investigate the de novo mutation and clinical features of latent transforming growth factor-beta-binding protein 3 (LTBP3) gene-associated geleophysic dysplasia 3, and possible mechanisms of action.

Patient Concerns: A nonconsanguineous couple was recruited for this study due to the presence of intrauterine growth restriction. The pregnant woman and her elder daughter presented with skeletal abnormalities with diabetes.

Objectives: To investigate the perinatal outcomes of SR using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in MC pregnancies, identified factors affecting these outcomes, and assessed the associated learning curve.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive MC pregnancies that required RFA from September 2013 to April 2023 at our institution. The perinatal outcomes were compared on the basis of various indications, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for cotwin loss.

Noninvasive detection of twin zygosity using genome-wide linkage disequilibrium information.

Clin Transl Med

December 2024

Department of Obstetrics, Center of Fetal Medicine & intrauterine pediatrics, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.

Dear Editor, in this study, we propose a novel linkage disequilibrium information-based noninvasive zygosity (LDNZ) assessment method in twin pregnancies. It combines fetus-specific allele frequency analysis with LD block to reduce the number of required single nucleotide polymorphism markers and experiment costs. LDNZ method offers a noninvasive, accurate, and cost-effective solution for zygosity assessment, addressing the need for precise obstetric care in twin pregnancies.
