Can we improve the outcome of pregnancies with low serum PAPP-A in the first trimester?
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2024
PREIS International School, Firenze, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how taking a hormone called micronized progesterone (VMP4) can help pregnant women with low levels of a protein called PAPP-A during early pregnancy.
- 116 pregnant women were divided into three groups: one group took VMP4 for a short time, another for a longer time, and the last group did not take it at all.
- The results showed that the women who didn't take VMP4 had more problems like miscarriages and other complications, while those who took it had healthier pregnancies and babies.

Article Synopsis
- Umbilical cord knots are significant for fetal outcomes, affecting both singleton and twin pregnancies, but they often go unnoticed during prenatal scans due to their silent clinical manifestations.
- Although ultrasonographers may overlook the cord during routine obstetric ultrasounds, improved technology allows for better fetal assessments, making it essential to evaluate the umbilical cord more carefully.
- The review covers the causes and risk factors of umbilical cord knots, ultrasound detection methods, management opinions, and the impact of knot characteristics on pregnancy outcomes.

SARS-CoV-2 Footprints in the Placenta: What We Know after Three Years of the Pandemic.
J Pers Med
April 2023
Centre of Perinatal and Reproductive Medicine, University of Perugia, 06121 Perugia, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened maternal health risks, leading to complications such as preterm births, gestational diabetes, and stillbirths in infected pregnant women.
- Research indicates that the infection can lead to specific changes in placental tissue, potentially affecting pregnancy outcomes through inflammation and vascular injuries.
- Histopathological examination of the placenta is crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind adverse perinatal outcomes and investigating possible connections between maternal infection and placental abnormalities, although evidence remains inconclusive.
