Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of complications than singletons1, 2. These complications can develop throughout gestation and pose greater risk to both mother and babies. Early pregnancy scanning enables accurate pregnancy dating, determination of chorionicity, labelling and possible risk prediction in monochorionic twin pregnancies3-7. This article focuses mainly on controversies in sc...

Background Accurate prevalence figures are not available, but it has been estimated that 1-2% of women have recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as three or more consecutive losses of intrauterine pregnancy in the first trimester. Half of whom have no identifiable cause. Recent studies of early pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, pregnancy complications such a hydatidiform mole suggests that these...

Preeclampsia is one of the illnesses associated with placental dysfunction and pregnancy-induced hypertension, which appears after first 20 weeks pregnancy marked by proteinuria hypertension. It can affect pregnant women limit fetal growth, resulting in low birth weights, a risk factor for neonatal mortality. Approximately 10% pregnancies worldwide are affected hypertensive disorders during pre...

Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (HDP) is one of the major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality & morbidity worldwide particularly in developing countries. In developed countries, maternal mortality rate varies from 4-40 per 1 lakh live birth. In developing countries, it varies from 100-700 with India having 178 per 1 lakh live birth. Objective: Study of biochemical markers and uterine a...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of uterine artery Doppler flow velocimetry at second trimester of pregnancy in prediction of preeclampsia. Methods: This prospective study is carried out in the department of Radiodiagnosis, Krishna institute of Medical science, Karad. The study includes 220 pregnant women (primigravida) from August 2013 to September 2014 whose Uter...

Prediction models are used in reproductive medicine to calculate the probability of pregnancy without treatment, as well as the probability of pregnancy after ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization. The performance of such prediction models is often evaluated with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The area under the ROC curve, also known as c-sta...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Placental abruption, an ischemic placental disorder, complicates about 1 in 100 pregnancies, and is an important cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Metabolomics holds promise for improving the phenotyping, prediction and understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms of complex clinical disorders including abruption. We sought to evaluate mat...

BACKGROUND Adverse outcomes of pregnancy are a challenging health-care problem. Prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes is important to prevent the morbidities of the foetus and the mother. AIMS To study the clinical interest of fetal nasal bone length in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in the first trimester of pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN A population-based retrospective cohort study. ...
