https://www.selleckchem.com/products/r428.html Second trimester screening and management for preterm birth, intrauterine selective growth restriction (sFGR), classification of monochorial twins with sFGR, and management of the surviving twin after the death of the co-twin are described.Complications exclusively affecting MC twins include Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) with the important topics screening, prognosis, complications of laser therapy, timing of delivery, risks for brain abnormalities and delayed neurological development, Twin Anemia-Polycythemia Sequence (TAPS) and Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) Sequence. This also includes MC MA twins as well as conjoined twins.Finally, the birth mode and time for DC and MC twin pregnancies are described.The information is summarized in 62 recommendations for action, 4 tables and 8 illustrations with comprehensive background texts.The guideline is an international guideline adaptation (ISUOG, NICE) as well as a systematic literature search and is up-to-date. Intermittent fasting (IF) is an effective strategy to improve cardiometabolic health. The objective of this work is to examine the effects of IF on cardiometabolic risk factors and the gut microbiota in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). A randomized clinical trial was conducted at a community health service center. Participants included adults with MS, age 30 to 50 years. Intervention consisted of 8 weeks of "2-day" modified IF. Cardiometabolic risk factors including body composition, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and endothelial function were assessed at baseline and at 8 weeks. The diversity, composition, and functional pathways of the gut microbiota, as well as circulating gut-derived metabolites, were measured. Thirty-nine patients with MS were included 21 in the IF group and 18 in the control group. On fasting days, participants in the IF group reduced 69% of their calorie intake compared to nonfasting days. The 8-week IF sig
