Perinatal outcomes of in vitro fertilization twins: A systematic review and meta-analyses

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether the incidence of poor obstetric outcomes is higher for in vitro fertilization twins rather than for spontaneously conceived twins who were matched for maternal age. In vitro fertilization twins have increased rates of preterm birth compared with spontaneously conceived twins who were matched for maternal age despite the fact that their outcomes would be expected to be better because of the decreased proportion of monochorionic twins.

The fetal cardiovascular response to antenatal steroids in severe early -onset intrauterine growth restriction

Article Abstract:

A study on the hemodynamic effects of betamethasone on fetuses with intrauterine growth restrictions (UGR) with absent or reversed end-diastolic (ARED) umbilical artery flow, using color/pulsed Doppler waveforms is presented. Preterm IUGR/ARED fetuses show divergent cardiovascular responses to prenatal steroids and intensive Doppler-based fetal monitoring may identify a subset of fetuses prone to decompensation after administration of maternal steroid.

Expression of HOXA11 gene in human endometrium

Article Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the expression pattern of HOXA11 in human endometrium in response to circulating sex steroids. The results suggest that HOXA11 play an important role in endometrial proliferation, differentiation and receptivity.
