Birth weight of 1,134 twin pairs have been studied in the Maternity "La Paz" (Madrid) along years 1969-74. Mean weight among twin pairs of the like sex is 2,493.78 +/- 20.89 for males and 2,425.16 +/- 19.16 for females. Among the unlike sexes the means were 2,631.07 +/- 28.38 for males and 2,488.16 +/- 26.05 for females. Differences among the means were all statistically significative. This results have been compared with those obtained in other populations. Variability of mean weights acording with gestational age has been studied also (from 28 to 43 weeks). Curves obtained in this way were supperposed to those of single birth; until the 37 week, twins are comprised between the means and on standard deviation corresponding to single birth distributions. Increment weight per week among twins is higher than those corbresponding to single births until the 34 week. From these week growth becames slow. From the 39 week twins lost weight in a fast way. Weights differences among twin pairs grow with gestational age, being very significant from the 36 week.

The growing prevalence of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is leading to a continuous rise in twin pregnancies. This study assessed the influence of ART on neonatal outcomes of twin pregnancies. Clinical records of twin deliveries at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively selected and grouped based on the method of conception: ART-conceived and naturally conceived.

Further, the relative contribution of such non-genetic elements in identical twins have not been characterized. Here, we aimed to measure differentiating host and microbial biomarkers of RA by studying MZ twins discordant for disease using a multi-omics approach.

Background: Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum disorder may be associated with severe hemorrhage because of placental invasion of the myometrium and the uterovesical space or parametrium. It leads to serious complications, such as massive hemorrhage requiring massive transfusion, coagulopathy, bladder and ureteric injuries, need for intensive care unit admission and prolonged hospital stay. To reduce the complications of cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum disorder, ongoing efforts are being made to develop different surgical approaches.
