The value of ultrasound indicators in early pregnancy for predicting selective intrauterine growth restriction and twin–twin transfusion syndrome: a case‒control study [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Selective intrauterine foetal growth restriction (sIUGR) and twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) are common complications in Monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies.

Risk factors for hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus and ibuprofen treatment failure in premature twins: a retrospective case-control study [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineBackgroundPremature twins face a dual challenge: a high incidence of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) and a poor response to ibuprofen. Current management, derived from singleton data, fails to address this population's unique

The Proteome Landscape of Human Placentas for Monochorionic Twins with Selective Intrauterine Growth Restriction [PDF]
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2023 In perinatal medicine, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the greatest challenges. The etiology of IUGR is multifactorial, but most cases are thought to arise from placental insufficiency.
