Abstract

We investigated the impact of a long interval between the birth of the first and the second twin on second twin perinatal mortality (PNM). National data in the Swedish Medical Birth Registry were used on 7533 second twins born in Sweden between 1973 and 1985. PNM as a function of the time interval between the births of the twins was studied in data from two time periods: during 1973-78 (n = 4008) and 1979-85 (n = 3525). During the first period, PNM was significantly higher at intervals of 30 min or more between the births of the twins than at shorter intervals (chi 2 = 11.1, p less than 0.001). When studied within broad birth weight classes, a significant trend was seen for twins weighing 1500-2499 g with an increasing interval (chi 2 = 8.1: p less than 0.01). A non-significant trend was also found for twins weighing less than 1500 g but none for twins weighing greater than or equal to 2500 g. During the second period, abdominal delivery of the second twin after vaginal delivery of the first twin was significantly more common than during the first period (2.0% vs 0.3%, chi 2 = 52.7, p less than 0.001). During the second period, the interdelivery interval had little impact on second twin PNM. The results of this study seem to in...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
