Background: The aim of the present study is to report a rare occurrence of a successful twin pregnancy in a woman with pure 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis.

Result(s): A patient with Swyer syndrome (pure 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis) presented with a twin pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. Due to unidentified conditions, the patient developed selective intrauterine growth restriction in one of the fetuses. Twins were born at 33 weeks of pregnancy due to the risk of asphyxia. Nonetheless, the patient did not develop gonadal malignancies before the pregnancy and, despite receiving estrogen, remained amenorrheic.

Conclusion(s): The aim of this case report is to show the course of twin pregnancy in patients with Swyer syndrome through assisted reproduction. Due to certain disorders in the development of their reproductive organs, such as the less mature uterus, such pregnancies may be associated with an increased risk. The above case report demonstrates the need to systematize methods of pregnancy management in patients with Swyer syndrome, such as: preparation for the pregnancy, assessment of the uterus, medications used, and necessary checkups. Capsule: This case report and review shows clinicians that patients with Swyer syndrome may become pregnant. Twin pregnancies may occur without any major problems through assisted reproduction.

Transfer of in vitro-produced (IVP) equine embryos is associated with a higher incidence of monozygotic multiple pregnancies, but this remains a rarity. The outcome of monozygotic twin gestation is poor, and good management techniques are lacking. In addition, hydrops conditions are exceptional in horses, with hydroallantois occurring more frequently than hydramnion.

First-trimester screening and small for gestational age in twin pregnancies: a single center cohort study.

Arch Gynecol Obstet

December 2024

Maternal and Fetal Medicine Unit, São José Local Health Unit, Centro Clínico Académico de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal factors and first-trimester biophysical and biochemical markers with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates in twin pregnancies (TwPs).

Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study of TwPs followed from January 2010 to December 2022 at a tertiary perinatal center, Portugal. Maternal and pregnancy characteristics, mean arterial pressure, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) were analyzed.

Peripartum energy metabolism of prolific ewes and their progeny in response to prepartum feeding and litter size.

Animal

November 2024

Département des sciences animales, Université Laval, Pavillon Paul-Comtois, 2425 rue de l'Agriculture, Québec, QC, G1V 0A6, Canada. Electronic address:

In late gestation, the increased energy demand to support the rapid fetal growth can induce an acute negative energy balance associated with a high risk of pregnancy toxemia, especially for prolific ewes (carrying two or more fetuses). The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary energy during the last 6 weeks prepartum on the energy metabolism dynamic responses and the newborn lamb metabolic profile in prolific ewes. Forty-five crossbred (Dorset × Romanov) ewes were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 dietary energy densities: E: 8.

Twin pregnancies consisting of one normal fetus and one complete mole are very rare. The main concerning risks associated with the continuation of such pregnancy are hyperthyroidism, theca lutein cysts, preeclampsia, and the development of GTD (gestational trophoblastic disease) spectrum (neoplasia) in the mother, which is due to high human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) values, and intrauterine death and prematurity in the coexistent normal fetus. We report the successful outcome of conservative management in a healthy mother and baby.

Relationship between relaxin-2 levels in serum and mode of conception in twin gestations: A prospective cohort study.

J Obstet Gynaecol Res

January 2025

Department of Health Sciences, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Careggi Hospital, University of Florence, Florence, Italy.

Aim: Relaxin is a peptide hormone commonly associated with pregnancy when it is thought to play a role in modulating various physiological processes to optimize maternal-fetal adaptation. In twin pregnancies these adaptive requirements are higher than in singleton pregnancies, therefore it is important to understand how circulating relaxin behaves in such conditions. This prospective cohort study aims to determine the serum relaxin-2 levels throughout gestation in twin pregnancies and to investigate its association with the mode of conception.
