Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence: Knowledge and Insights After 15 Years of Research

Maternal-Fetal Medicine, 2021
. Twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS) is a chronic form of unbalanced feto-fetal transfusion through minuscule placental anastomoses in monochorionic twin pregnancies, leading to anemia in the donor twin and polycythemia in the recipient twin.

Application of current enteral nutrition support recommendations to infants born less than 750 grams or less than 25 weeks' gestation: A critical review

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Clinicians face a paucity of evidence‐based recommendations for provision of enteral nutrition in infants born <750 g or <25 weeks’ gestation, termed “nano‐preterm.” Current enteral nutrition recommendations for extremely low birth weight infants may not be broadly applicable to nano‐preterm infants due to physiological and developmental ...

Ultrasound findings associated with neonatal acute liver failure secondary to gestational alloimmune liver disease: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Gestational alloimmune liver disease is the leading cause of neonatal acute liver failure, hypothesized to emerge from maternal exposure to an antigen that is expressed on fetal hepatocytes, resulting in maternal‐fetal alloimmune attack and activation of the complement cascade.

Low-lying placenta is associated with increased risk of hemorrhage and severe maternal morbidity: A nationwide analysis. [PDF]

Pregnancy (Hoboken)
Abstract Background Placenta previa (PP) is a well‐recognized obstetric complication with established maternal risks, particularly hemorrhage, that contribute significantly to maternal morbidity. In contrast, low‐lying placenta (LLP) has historically been grouped with previa in both coding and clinical practice, limiting our ability to study its ...

Heterozygous Beta‐Thalassaemia in Pregnancy: Two Rare Causes of Severe Fetal Anemia Requiring Intrauterine Blood Transfusions

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In this article, we present two cases of severe fetal hemolytic anemia based on a beta‐thalassaemia trait inherited from a single parent. Results These cases, presented at 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, necessitated intra‐uterine blood transfusions.
