Methods A 31-year-old primigravid woman presented with a twin pregnancy at 14 weeks of gestation for evaluation of structural abnormalities in one co-twin. The marriage was non consanguineous. There was not history of genetic disorders or structural anomalies noted in the both parents. This was her first pregnancy and it was achieved by in vitro fertilization (ivf) and embryo transfer. One embr...

Four fat-tailed ewes from an indoor flock (n=40) were examined for recumbency and depressive nervoussigns. They were from a seemingly nonpregnant group of the flock that had been diagnosed bytransabdominal ultrasonography. The ration consisted of mainly wheat straw since their separation from thepregnant group. Detection of pregnancy on abdominal palpation along with depressive nervous signs an...

The objective of this study was to determine the association between intracellular free AA (FAA) profiles in skeletal muscle with muscle growth in twin and singleton fetuses in late pregnancy and at weaning, under an ad libitum feeding regime of the dam. Plasma from singleton- (n = 9) and twin-bearing (n = 10) ewes at d 140 of pregnancy and FAA in the semitendinosus muscle (STM) from the corres...

There are only a few reports of fetal parvovirus infection in the circumstance of a twin pregnancy. We report a case of differential fetal infection following maternal parvovirus B19 infection in a dichorionic twin pregnancy culminating in a dual live-birth. A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with parvovirus infection following exposure to her infected child at 19 weeks' gestation in a dichorion...

Method: This study is further analysis of data in a case report of a dichorionic-dizygotic twin pregnancy in which one twin (Twin-A) presented three months postnatally with seizure. The other twin (Twin-B) developed normally and so became a control. The twins showed similar head growth up to 24 weeks but subsequently the rate of head growth of Twin-A exceeded that of Twin-B. Later, from 29 week...

SIR,-I wish to refer to the excellent article by Drs. H. G. Miller, J. B. Stanton, and J. L. Gibbons on acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (Journal, March 23, p. 668). Unfortunately, however, it perpetuates an error which has crept into the literature concerning the reports of cases in which the condition of acute haemorrhagic leuco-encephalitis has complicated an infectious exanthem. In 1945...

A single placenta normally supports a single fetus. When the situation arises in which two fetuses have to share a single placenta, complications may sometimes develop. Identical twins that share a single placenta are called monochorionic twins (MC). ?Chorion? is the Latin root that refers to the placenta, while the word ?amnion? refers to the sac, or ?membranes? that surround each fetus. While...

BACKGROUND The incidence of unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition. Several factors increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, the most important of which is pelvic inflammatory disease, followed by operative trauma, congenital anomalies, tumors, and adhesions resulting in anatomically distorted fallopian tubes. We present a case of a woman with a history of four confirmed sexually ...
