A 36-year-old primigravida conceived dichorionic diamniotic twins via in vitro fertilization. The first twin experienced premature rupture of membranes at 18 weeks and 5 days of gestation. Despite antibiotic treatment, the first fetus suffered intrauterine fetal death and was delivered three days later at 19 weeks and 1 day. Using ritodrine, the remaining umbilical cord was repositioned, and an emergency cerclage was performed. Ritodrine was continuously administered post-surgery but discontinued at 24 weeks and 3 days due to improved uterine contractions. The patient later delivered a healthy baby via cesarean section at 38 weeks due to decreased fetal movement and breech presentation. This rare case of premature rupture of membranes in one of the twins before the viability term, followed by a successful delayed delivery, is presented here.

Objective: We estimated the potential outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness of the Vortex shunt, a novel fetal vesicoamniotic shunt (VAS), compared to standard shunts for treating fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO).
Method: We designed a decision-analytic model comparing the Vortex shunt to current shunts using a theoretical cohort of 1000 pregnancies equivalent to the annual U.S.

The vaginal microbiota is proposed to be associated with reproductive health. Exposure to metals during pregnancy is a risk factor for premature rupture of membranes (PROM). PROM can lead to serious maternal complications, thus, identifying the cause and therapeutic targets for it is crucial.

Article Synopsis
- * A case report describes a 23-year-old pregnant woman with TA who experienced fainting and arm pulselessness; she was diagnosed early, enabling timely treatment and comprehensive care.
- * Despite developing gestational hypertension and other complications, a successful emergency cesarean section at 36 weeks resulted in a healthy recovery for both mother and child, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and collaborative medical care.

Previous studies have investigated whether inflammatory cytokines in maternal circulation are associated with preterm birth. However, many have reported inconsistent results, and few have investigated cytokine trends through gestation, particularly with respect to subtypes of preterm birth. We explored levels of 15 inflammatory cytokines and growth factors in plasma and serum collected in the second (17-23 weeks, timepoint 1 (T1)) and third (28-32 weeks, timepoint 2 (T2)) trimesters with respect to subtypes of preterm birth: spontaneous preterm labour (sPTL), preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), and medically indicated preterm birth (mPTB).

Objective: This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation on pregnancy outcomes among women with uterine fibroids wishing to conceive, focusing specifically on short-term pregnancy outcomes immediately following HIFU treatment.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 210 women who underwent HIFU treatment (Group I) at our institution between January 2018 and December 2022 and subsequently conceived. Pregnancy outcomes were compared with two control groups: 510 patients who delivered vaginally (Group II) and 278 who underwent cesarean sections (Group III) during the same period.
