Abstract

Variation in placental weight may cause significant differences in the birth weight of dichorionic twins. Dichorionic twins have two distinct chorions, the outer extraembryonic membrane. The lighter twin may also have a larger number of placental lesions that the heavier twin. Researchers examined the placentas of 91 dichorionic twin pairs and 40 monochorionic twin pairs. Monochorionic twins share the same chorion. Among the dichorionic twin pairs, the lighter twin was more likely to belong to the lighter placenta than the heavier twin. The lighter dichorionic twin was more likely to have the largest number of placental lesions than the heavier twin. No association between placental abnormalities and differences in birth weight was found in the monochorionic twin pairs.

Abstract

To determine the prevalence of anticardiolipin antibodies in healthy non pregnant women and during normal pregnancy, 110 healthy women of mean age 25 years old and 53 healthy pregnant females of mean age 24.5 years old, who no one suffered from any autoimmune disease, were studied. In all women the anticardiolipin antibodies were measured in duplicate by the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). There was no difference in the percentage of the positive anticardiolipin antibodies between non pregnant and pregnant healthy women (9.1% and 5.6% respectively). Also, there was no difference in the antibodies levels during normal pregnancy, as well as, during an equal time of observation in non pregnant women. The positive anticardiolipin antibodies levels were low. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Primary sarcoma of the vulva is a rare tumor. Leiomyosarcoma is the most common histologic variant of vulvar sarcoma. The patient, a 55-year-old, gravida 4, para 2 postmenopausal Greek woman, presented with a 5-year history of progressive enlargement of the right labia majora. On vaginal examination there was a 8 x 9 cm raised, ulcerated and irregular mass of the right labia majora. Despite surgery operation, the patient died 6 months later because of multiple metastases.
