Serum homocysteine in pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are common obstetrical problem causing adverse effects on pregnancy outcome.

Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia in twin pregnancies.

A study of 1045 twin gestations with regard to known or likely zygosity and the incidence of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia failed to reveal differences between known dizygous twins and like-sex 'presumed' and 'estimated' monozygous twins except in the 'estimated' data for multigravidae. There was a threefold increase in the incidence for twins as opposed to singleton pregnancies. These results are di...
