... with the association between multiple pregnancies and increased pregnancy complications compared to singleton pregnancies, highlight the need for research on this topic. Therefore, this study aimed to compare obstetrical and neonatal outcomes of twin pregnancies after fresh embryo transfer versus FET. Design...

...K. Goeschen; J.W. Dudenhausen; G. Kynast; E. Saling During the period from January 1973 to October 1979, 55 transabdominal amniocenteses were performed on 40 twin pregnancies and the lecithin content of the amniotic fluid obtained was established in order to determine the fetal lung maturity...

...Håkan Rydhström It has been postulated that male twin pregnancies, in contrast to male singleton pregnancies, differ in some distinctive biologic sense, leading to a shorter gestational duration and a lower individual birth weight than is the case in female twin pregnancies. To test this hypothesis...

... women (G1P0), pregnant with monochorionic-monoamniotic twins, developed extensive abdominal pain while she was electively admitted at 32 weeks for fetal pulmonary maturation. Diagnosed with preterm labor, a caesarean section was performed. Postoperatively, our patient deteriorated and a second...

...Ryosuke Nakano; Ryosuke Nakano; Hideo Takemura; Hideo Takemura A comparison between the first-born twin A and the second-born twin B was made in 103 pairs of twins delivered vaginally at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wakayama Medical College, and at Kosaka Women’s Hospital. The twins...

...Samuel Lurie; Isaac Blickstein An evaluation of the age distribution of erythrocytes in twin gestation was performed. Based on previous studies on age distribution of erythrocytes in late pregnancy, we have proposed that a more pronounced shift in age distribution of erythrocytes in twin pregnancy...

...Isaac Blickstein; Moshe Manor; Roni Levi; Reinaldo Goldchmit Objective: To compare the efficacies of intertwin difference in abdominal circumferences (ACs) and estimated fetal weights (EFWs) to predict birth weight discordance in twin gestations. Methods: Ninety pairs of twins with sonographic...

...Moshe Manor; Isaac Blickstein; Alon Ben-Arie; Ariel Weissman; Zion Hagay The efficacy and safety of labor induction using an intrauterine balloon catheter in twin pregnancies has been evaluated. During the study period (1992–1997), labor was induced at 36–42 weeks in 17 twin gestations. Labor...

...Laxmi V. Baxi; Aditya Daftary; Andrew Loucopoulos Background: Single fetal demise in a twin pregnancy is a rare event, the common causes being twin-twin transfusion syndrome, chromosomal or congenital anomalies and abnormalities of the umbilical cord and placenta. Umbilical vein thrombosis...
