Vaginal fetal fibronectin as a predictor of spontaneous preterm delivery after multifetal pregnancy reduction

Article Abstract:

A study was undertaken to assess the validity of vaginal fetal fibronectin assay as a screening test for spontaneous preterm delivery in asymptomatic patients who have undergone multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR). The conclusion pointed out that the fetal fibronectin test has similar validity to predict spontaneous preterm delivery in these high-risk pregnancies as in previously published cohorts.

Cervical length after multifetal pregnancy reduction in remaining twin gestations

Article Abstract:

Pregnant women who have multifetal pregnancy reduction do not have shorter cervixes than other women with a twin pregnancy. Twin pregnancies that result from a multifetal pregnancy reduction are often born premature and a short cervix is also a risk factor for premature birth.

Neopterin concentrations in fetal and maternal blood: a marker of cell-mediated immune activation

Article Abstract:

Fetal blood levels of neopterin increase as the baby grows, indicating a functioning immune system. Neopterin is produced by immune cells called macrophages and monocytes.
