In Multipregnancies, The careful control of Number of follicles in stimulation cycles and Number of embryos transferred in ART cycles is so important. Just twin pregnancies are reason for racial death (12- 15%). The risk for CP in twin pregnancies is 8 times more and for Triple is 47 times more than simple ones.Approximately all prenatal problems increase in multiple pregnancies and therefore t...

Background: Prediction of adverse perinatal and postnatal outcomes could be possible by using ultrasound Doppler evaluation, however there are some controversies regarding this issue in the literature. The goal of present study was to evaluate predictive value of Doppler indices in single and twin pregnancies during second trimester. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted i...

The objective of this review is to assess the evidence which supports the use of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) in twin pregnancies. Through the years, we have witnessed the technological developments in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis attained new heights, but those studies were usually limited in singleton pregnancies. As we known, twin pregnancies are at higher risk in both aneuploid...

Over the past 25 years the rate of twin and higher - order multifetal birth have increased between 1980 and 2005. The twining rate rose from 18.9 to 32.1 per 1000 live birth. Multifetal gestations are at high risk of fetaland complication such as; growth restricted fetal death, LBW and cerebral palasy. Maternal complication are that also increased such as: preeclampsia, diabetes, maternal death...

BACKGROUND The risk of pre-eclampsia (PE) increases in twin pregnancies, especially when assisted reproduction technologies (ART) are used. The aim of this study was to assess angiogenic/anti-angiogenic factors in maternal serum in the first trimester of twin pregnancies and establish if the mode of conception influences angiogenic status. METHODS This prospective study enrolled women with tw...

twin reversed arterial perfusion (trap) sequence is a syndrome with poor prognosis, seen only in monochorionic monozygotic twin pregnancies. the incidence is one in 35.000 births and one in 100 monozygotic twin pregnancies. it is characterized with a recipient fetus exhibiting lethal anomalies including acardia and a pump fetus. mortality is usually due to heart failure or premature labor cause...

The chorionicity-based evaluation of the perinatal risk in twin pregnancies after assisted reproductive technology (ART) is lacking. A retrospective review was performed of all twin pregnancies monitored prenatally and delivered at our hospital between 2010 and 2014. Chorionicity was diagnosed by ultrasound examination at first trimester and confirmed by postnatal pathology. Pregnancy and perin...

A monochorionic twin pregnancy is one in which both babies are dependent on a single, shared placenta. Around one-third of twin pregnancies in the UK have monochorionic placentas. Monochorionic placentation can also occur in higher-order multiples. There has been a recent increase in all types of multiple pregnancies with the increasing use of assisted reproductive techniques. Monochorionic (MC...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of gestational diabetes mellitus on weight discrepancy in twin pregnancies. METHODS 200 twin pregnancies were included in the study. 157 nondiabetic pregnant women with twin gestations and 43 twin pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with viable fetuses born after 24 weeks of gestation were enrolled. Influence of maternal age, body-mass-inde...
