Simulation of therapy in a model of nonhydropic and hydropic recipient in twin- twin transfusion syndrome

Article Abstract:

A simulation of therapy in a model of a nonhydropic and hydropic recipient in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is presented. TTTS presenting with a hydropic recipient prior to fetal viability ( ~ 26 weeks) may be best treated with laser therapy whereas more advanced gestations may be offered digoxin administration plus aminoreduction, to delay progression of TTTS.

N-acetyl-cysteine suppresses amniotic fluid and placenta inflammatory cytokine responses to lipopolysaccharide in rats

Article Abstract:

The study is conducted to determine whether the antioxidant N-acetyl-cysteine (NCA) can attenuate maternally induced amniotic and placental cytokine responses to maternal infection. It is concluded that NAC inhibition of inflammatory responses may protect the fetus from potential long-term sequelae.

Fetal urine and amniotic fluid in monochorionic twins with twin-twin transfusion syndrome: simulations of therapy

Article Abstract:

Amnioreduction should be used to treat mild twin-twin transfusion syndrome and laser ablation should be used for more severe cases. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome occurs when one twin grows at the expense of the other.
