OBJECTIVE Multiple gestations are high risk pregnancies, which may be complicated by pre-maturity, low birth weight infants, pre-eclampsia, anemia, postpartum hemorrhage, intrauterine growth restriction, neonatal morbidity and high perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality. This study was carried out to determine the incidence and effect of multiple pregnancies on pre-term labor in tertiary care...

The concentrations of immunoglobulins (Ig) G.A.M. and E were determined in paired umbilical cord and maternal sera in 50 twin pregnancies. Mean IgG levels were higher in cord than maternal sera and in most cases the cord IgG level related more closely to that of the other twin than to either maternal level or birthweight, and was in the range for singletons of the same gestational age. The thre...

© 2015 Plastic and Aesthetic Research | Published by Wolters Kluwer ‐ Medknow 309 Nerve injuries caused by medical interventions (iatrogenic lesions) can complicate procedures and affect any part of the peripheral nervous system. Available data are fragmentary and little information is accessible on the overall incidence of iatrogenic nerve lesions that ranges from 1.5% to 15%.[1,2] Major drawb...

Twins and higher–order multiple pregnancies account for approximately 3% of all gestations in the United States (Ananth et al, 2004) and seem to be stabilized since 2006 after a dramatically increase since the beginning of the 1970s (Vayssière et al, 2011). There are two main causes for the change in the rate of multiple pregnancies: advanced maternal age and use of assisted reproductive techni...

Contrary to the happy image in the media of multiple births the reality is often starkly different. Data on multiple pregnancy are limited, but a study of registered multiple births in England and Wales between 1975 and 1983 reported a 21% perinatal mortality and a 22% infant mortality.' (These figures do not include early loss of pregnancy, and the total fetal wastage is even higher.) Although...

INTRODUCTION We investigated the predictive capacity of mid-trimester cervical length (CL) measurement for spontaneous and iatrogenic preterm birth. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a prospective observational cohort study in nulliparous women and low-risk multiparous women with a singleton pregnancy between 16(+0) and 21(+6) weeks of gestation. We assessed the prognostic capacity of transva...

The short nose deformity may arise from multiple etiologies including iatrogenic following rhinoplasty. The weakening of the cartilaginous support and the contractile forces imposed by the healing soft tissue envelope may result in the short nose deformity. The focus of this article is to present the senior author's approach to this nasal deformity.

OBJECTIVE To compare the placental volume at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation between singleton and multiple pregnancies and to examine the possible effect of chorionicity on placental volume. METHODS The placental volume was measured by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound using the Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis (VOCAL) technique in 290 consecutive twin and 37 triplet pregnancies at 11...

Abstract Background Iatrogenic facial nerve injury is one of the otolaryngologists’ major fears during surgeries. Despite technological advances, risk iatrogenic palsy remains high. The aim this study to meta-analyse papers published about different causes injury. This a meta-analysis carried out at ENT departments Cairo and MUST universities from April October 2022. It was structured according...
