Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatopulmonary fusion (HPF) is a rare anomaly specifically associated with right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Fewer than 50 cases of HPF have been reported, most at the time of surgery or postmortem with an associated high morbidity and mortality rate. Prenatal diagnosis and optimal management of these rare cases have not been established. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of HPF diagnosed prenatally by fetal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging allowing postnatal and intraoperative planning leading to successful HPF separation and repair of the CDH. DISCUSSION The prenatal recognition allowed the use of preoperative computed tomography angiogram and right cardiac catheterization to plan the surgical approach. Intraoperative ultrasound confirmed abnormal vasculature associated with the HPF facilitating a successful complete HPF separation and CDH repair was performed. The patient survived and continues to do well on long-term follow-up. Prenatal recognition may help reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with HPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) accounts for 8% of all major congenital anomalies. Neonates who are small for gestational age (SGA) generally have a poorer prognosis. We sought to identify risk factors and variables associated with outcomes in neonates with CDH who are SGA in comparison to neonates who are appropriate for gestational age (AGA). METHODS We used the multicenter Diaphragmatic Hernia Research & Exploration Advancing Molecular Science (DHREAMS) study to include neonates enrolled from 2005 to 2019. Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests were used to compare categorical variables and t tests or Wilcoxon rank sum for continuous variables. Cox model analyzed time to event outcomes and logistic regression analyzed binary outcomes. RESULTS 589 neonates were examined. Ninety were SGA (15.3%). SGA patients were more likely to be female (p = 0.003), have a left sided CDH (p = 0.05), have additional congenital anomalies and be diagnosed with a genetic syndrome (p < 0.001). On initial single-variable analysis, SGA correlated with higher frequency of death prior to discharge (p < 0.001) and supplemental oxygen requirement at 28 days (p = 0.005). Twice as many SGA patients died before repair (12.2% vs 6.4%, p = 0.04). Using unadjusted Cox model, the risk of death prior to discharge among SGA patients was 1.57 times the risk for AGA patients (p = 0.029). There was no correlation between SGA and need for ECMO, pulmonary hypertensive medication at discharge or oxygen at discharge. After adjusting for confounding variables, SGA no longer correlated with mortality prior to discharge or incidence of unrepaired defects but remained significant for oxygen requirement at 28 days (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Infants with CDH who are SGA have worse survival and poorer lung function than AGA infants. However, the outcome of SGA neonates is impacted by other factors including gestational age, genetic syndromes, and particularly congenital anomalies that contribute heavily to their poorer prognosis.

Abstract
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a rare but serious cause of fetal cardiomyopathy with poorly understood pathophysiology and challenging prognostication. This study sought a nonbiased, comprehensive assessment of amniotic fluid (AF) microRNAs from TTTS pregnancies and associations of these miRNAs with clinical characteristics. For the discovery cohort, AF from ten fetuses with severe TTTS cardiomyopathy were selected and compared to ten normal singleton AF. Array panels assessing 384 microRNAs were performed on the discovery cohort and controls. Using a stringent q < 0.0025, arrays identified 32 miRNAs with differential expression. Top three microRNAs were miR-99b, miR-370 and miR-375. Forty distinct TTTS subjects were selected for a validation cohort. RT-PCR targeted six differentially-expressed microRNAs in the discovery and validation cohorts. Expression differences by array were confirmed by RT-PCR with high fidelity. The ability of these miRNAs to predict clinical differences, such as cardiac findings and later demise, was evaluated on TTTS subjects. Down-regulation of miRNA-127-3p, miRNA-375-3p and miRNA-886 were associated with demise. Our results indicate AF microRNAs have potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in TTTS. The top microRNAs have previously demonstrated roles in angiogenesis, cardiomyocyte stress response and hypertrophy. Further studies of the mechanism of actions and potential targets is warranted.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe congenital anomaly that is often accompanied by other anomalies. Although the role of genetics in the pathogenesis of CDH has been established, only a small number of disease-associated genes have been identified. To further investigate the genetics of CDH, we analyzed de novo coding variants in 827 proband-parent trios and confirmed an overall significant enrichment of damaging de novo variants, especially in constrained genes. We identified LONP1 (lon peptidase 1, mitochondrial) and ALYREF (Aly/REF export factor) as candidate CDH-associated genes on the basis of de novo variants at a false discovery rate below 0.05. We also performed ultra-rare variant association analyses in 748 affected individuals and 11,220 ancestry-matched population control individuals and identified LONP1 as a risk gene contributing to CDH through both de novo and ultra-rare inherited largely heterozygous variants clustered in the core of the domains and segregating with CDH in affected familial individuals. Approximately 3% of our CDH cohort who are heterozygous with ultra-rare predicted damaging variants in LONP1 have a range of clinical phenotypes, including other anomalies in some individuals and higher mortality and requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Mice with lung epithelium-specific deletion of Lonp1 die immediately after birth, most likely because of the observed severe reduction of lung growth, a known contributor to the high mortality in humans. Our findings of both de novo and inherited rare variants in the same gene may have implications in the design and analysis for other genetic studies of congenital anomalies.

Abstract
Purpose Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with significant mortality and long-term morbidity in some but not all individuals. We hypothesize monogenic factors that cause CDH are likely to have pleiotropic effects and be associated with worse clinical outcomes. Methods We enrolled and prospectively followed 647 newborns with CDH and performed genomic sequencing on 462 trios to identify de novo variants. We grouped cases into those with and without likely damaging (LD) variants and systematically assessed CDH clinical outcomes between the genetic groups. Results Complex cases with additional congenital anomalies had higher mortality than isolated cases (P=8×10−6). Isolated cases with LD variants had similar mortality to complex cases and much higher mortality than isolated cases without LD (P=3×10−3). The trend was similar with pulmonary hypertension at 1 month. Cases with LD variants had an estimated 12–17 points lower scores on neurodevelopmental assessments at 2 years compared to cases without LD variants, and this difference is similar in isolated and complex cases. Conclusion We found that the LD genetic variants are associated with higher mortality, worse pulmonary hypertension, and worse neurodevelopment outcomes compared to non-LD variants. Our results have important implications for prognosis, potential intervention and long-term follow up for children with CDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in 1 out of 2500-3000 live births. Right-sided CDHs (R-CDHs) comprise 25% of all CDH cases, and data are conflicting on outcomes of these patients. The aim of our study was to compare outcomes in patients with right versus left CDH (L-CDH). METHODS We analyzed a multicenter prospectively enrolled database to compare baseline characteristics and outcomes of neonates enrolled from January 2005 to January 2019 with R-CDH vs. L-CDH. RESULTS A total of 588, 495 L-CDH, and 93 R-CDH patients with CDH were analyzed. L-CDHs were more frequently diagnosed prenatally (p=0.011). Lung-to-head ratio was similar in both cohorts. R-CDHs had a lower frequency of primary repair (p=0.022) and a higher frequency of need for oxygen at discharge (p=0.013). However, in a multivariate analysis, need for oxygen at discharge was no longer significantly different. There were no differences in long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes assessed at two year follow up. There was no difference in mortality, need for ECMO, pulmonary hypertension, or hernia recurrence. CONCLUSION In this large series comparing R to L-CDH patients, we found no significant difference in mortality, use of ECMO, or pulmonary complications. Our study supports prior studies that R-CDHs are relatively larger and more often require a patch or muscle flap for repair. TYPE OF STUDY Prognosis study LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe birth defect that is often accompanied by other congenital anomalies. Previous exome sequencing studies for CDH have supported a role of de novo damaging variants but did not identify any recurrently mutated genes. To investigate further the genetics of CDH, we analyzed de novo coding variants in 362 proband-parent trios including 271 new trios reported in this study. We identified four unrelated individuals with damaging de novo variants in MYRF (P = 5.3x10(-8)), including one likely gene-disrupting (LGD) and three deleterious missense (D-mis) variants. Eight additional individuals with de novo LGD or missense variants were identified from our other genetic studies or from the literature. Common phenotypes of MYRF de novo variant carriers include CDH, congenital heart disease and genitourinary abnormalities, suggesting that it represents a novel syndrome. MYRF is a membrane associated transcriptional factor highly expressed in developing diaphragm and is depleted of LGD variants in the general population. All de novo missense variants aggregated in two functional protein domains. Analyzing the transcriptome of patient-derived diaphragm fibroblast cells suggest that disease associated variants abolish the transcription factor activity. Furthermore, we showed that the remaining genes with damaging variants in CDH significantly overlap with genes implicated in other developmental disorders. Gene expression patterns and patient phenotypes support pleiotropic effects of damaging variants in these genes on CDH and other developmental disorders. Finally, functional enrichment analysis implicates the disruption of regulation of gene expression, kinase activities, intra-cellular signaling, and cytoskeleton organization as pathogenic mechanisms in CDH.

Abstract
Ventilation practices have changed significantly since the initial reports in the mid 1980 of successful use of permissive hypercapnia and spontaneous ventilation [often called gentle ventilation (GV)] in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). However, there has been little standardization of these practices or of the physiologic limits that define GV. We sought to ascertain among Diaphragmatic Hernia Research and Exploration; Advancing Molecular Science (DHREAMS) centers' GV practices in the neonatal management of CDH. Pediatric surgeons and neonatologists from DHREAMS centers completed an online survey on GV practices in infants with CDH. The survey gathered data on how individuals defined GV including ventilator settings, blood gas parameters and other factors of respiratory management. A total of 87 respondents, from 12 DHREAMS centers completed the survey for an individual response rate of 53% and a 92% center response rate. Approximately 99% of the respondents defined GV as accepting higher carbon dioxide (PCO2) and 60% of the respondents also defined GV as accepting a lower pH. There was less consensus about the use of sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents in GV, both within and across the centers. Acceptable pH and PCO2 levels are broader than the goal ranges. Despite a lack of formal standardization, the results suggest that GV practice is consistently defined as the use of permissive hypercapnia with mild respiratory acidosis and less consistently with the use of sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents. GV is the reported practice of surveyed neonatologists and pediatric surgeons in the respiratory management of infants with CDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency in pediatric patients, and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy is warranted in their care. A simplified once-daily regimen of ceftriaxone and metronidazole (CTX plus MTZ) is cost effective in perforated patients. The goal of this evaluation is to compare a historic regimen of cefoxitin (CFX) in nonperforated cases and ertapenem (ERT) in perforated and abscessed cases with CTX plus MTZ for all cases in terms of efficacy and cost. METHODS A retrospective review compared outcomes of nonperforated, perforated, and abscessed cases who received the historic regimen or CTX plus MTZ. Length of stay, time to afebrile, time to full feeds, postoperative abscess, and wound infection rates, inpatient readmissions, and antibiotic costs were evaluated. RESULTS There were a total of 841 cases reviewed (494 nonperforated, 247 perforated, and 100 abscessed). Overall, the CTX plus MTZ group had a shorter time to afebrile (P < .001). Treatment groups did not differ in length of stay. Postoperative abscess rates were similar between groups (4.1% vs 3.3%, not significant). Other postoperative complications were similar between groups. Total antibiotic cost savings were over $110 000 during the study period (from November 2010 to June 2013). CONCLUSIONS Both CFX and/or ERT and CTX plus MTZ result in low abscess and complication rates, suggesting both are effective strategies. Treatment with CTX plus MTZ results in a shorter time to afebrile, while also providing significant antibiotic cost savings. Ceftriaxone plus MTZ is a streamlined, cost-effective regimen in the treatment of nonperforated, perforated, and abscessed appendicitis.

Abstract
Prenatal diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease is extremely rare and has only been suggested by ultrasound. This report presents a 29-week fetus with heterotaxy and polysplenia syndrome and prenatal diagnosis of nonrotation of the bowel and Hirschsprung's disease by fetal MRI. None of the previously reported findings in the literature suggestive of distal bowel obstruction were noted in this case. Rather, there was a diminutive size of the rectosigmoid compared to the rest of the colon. Fetal MRI has become an important tool in the fetal diagnosis of multiple anomalies and can aid in perinatal and immediate postnatal care of patients, such as those with Hirschsprung's disease.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the intrauterine management and perinatal outcome of pregnancies complicated by giant placental chorioangioma (>4 cm) and elaborate on various devascularization techniques. Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of 10 cases of giant placental chorioangioma evaluated between January 2005 and August 2012. Maternal demographics, prenatal imaging, response to fetoscopic treatment, obstetrical complications, and perinatal outcomes were evaluated. Results: Overall survival was 80%. Seven (70%) cases were associated with obstetrical complications, including polyhydramnios (n = 7), non-immune hydrops (n = 3), and high cardiac output state (n = 5). Five patients underwent fetoscopic devascularization at a mean gestational age of 24.03 weeks with 80% survival. The tumors were devascularized by bipolar coagulation (n = 1), combination of bipolar and diode laser (n = 2), bipolar and radiofrequency ablation (n = 1), and surgical clip application (n = 1). Postoperatively, all survivors had resolution of hydrops and high cardiac output states with survival beyond 60 days of life. Discussion: Fetoscopic devascularization is indicated for high cardiac output states or non-immune hydrops and may require multiple techniques including bipolar coagulation, clip application, and/or laser to interrupt arterial inflow and devascularize the mass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Ovarian torsion (OT) is a clinical diagnosis with a variable presentation. The aim of this study was to develop a practical scoring system to predict patients with OT in the pediatric population to facilitate more accurate diagnosis. METHODS A retrospective study evaluating menarchal pediatric patients (1998 to 2005) with surgically confirmed OT (n = 28) compared with patients with abdominal pain and surgically confirmed non-OT (n = 26). Histogram analysis was performed to determine threshold values and used to generate the OT composite index (OT-CI). RESULTS Four factors were independently associated with OT: ovarian ratio, ovarian volume, nausea, and duration of pain. Arterial and venous Doppler flows were not associated with OT. The OT-CI was more accurate than any individual factor. There were no cases of OT in patients with OT-CI scores < 3. Patients with score ≥ 3 had 100% sensitivity and 65.3% specificity. A score ≥ 5 has 100% specificity. CONCLUSIONS The OT-CI is a practical scoring system combining clinical and radiologic findings to more accurately predict OT. An OT-CI score < 3 is strong evidence against OT in pediatric menarchal patients, which may minimize unnecessary surgical intervention. In contrast, scores ≥ 3 should be considered for surgical intervention to maximize ovarian salvage.

Abstract
Previous work in our laboratory demonstrated that over-expression of human insulin-like growth factor-11 (hIGF-1) in the placenta corrects fetal weight deficits in mouse, rat, and rabbit models of intrauterine growth restriction without changes in placental weight. The underlying mechanisms of this effect have not been elucidated. To investigate the effect of intra-placental IGF-1 over-expression on placental function we examined amino acid transporter expression and localization in both a mouse model of placental Insufficiency (PI) and a model of human trophoblast, the BeWo Choriocarcinoma cell line. For in vitro human studies, BeWo Choriocarcinoma cells were maintained in F12 complete medium + 10%FBS. Cells were incubated in serum-free control media ± Ad-IGF-1 or Ad-LacZ for 48 h. MOIs of 10:1 and 100:1 were utilized. In BeWo, transfection efficiency was 100% at an MOI of 100:1 and Ad-IGF-1 significantly increased IGF-1 secretion, proliferation and invasion but reduced apoptosis compared to controls. In vitro, amino acid uptake was increased following Ad-IGF-1 treatment and associated with significantly increased RNA expression of SNAT1, 2, LAT1 and 4F2hc. Only SNAT2 protein expression was increased but LAT1 showed relocalization from a perinuclear location to the cytoplasm and cell membrane. For in vivo studies, timed-pregnant animals were divided into four groups on day 18; sham-operated controls, uterine artery branch ligation (UABL), UABL + Ad-hIGF-1 (10(8) PFU), UABL + Ad-LacZ (10(8) PFU). At gestational day 20, pups and placentas were harvested by C-section. Only LAT1 mRNA expression changed, showing that a reduced expression of the transporter levels in the PI model could be partially rectified with Ad-hIGF1 treatment. At the protein level, System L was reduced in PI but remained at control levels following Ad-hIGF1. The System A isoforms were differentially regulated with SNAT2 expression diminished but SNAT1 increased in PI and Ad-hIGF1 groups. Enhanced amino acid isoform transporter expression and relocalization to the membrane may be an important mechanism contributing to Ad-hIGF-1 mediated correction of placental insufficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine developmental outcomes and associated factors in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at 2 years of age. METHODS This is a multicenter prospective study of a CDH birth cohort. Clinical and socioeconomic data were collected. Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-III) and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS-II) were performed at 2 years of age. RESULTS BSID-III and VABS-II assessments were completed on 48 and 49 children, respectively. The BSID-III mean cognitive, language, and motor scores were significantly below the norm mean with average scores of 93 ± 15, 95 ± 16, and 95 ± 11. Ten percent (5/47) scored more than 2 standard deviations below the norm on one or more domains. VABS-II scores were similar to BSID-III scores with mean communication, daily living skills, social, motor, adaptive behavior scores of 97 ± 14, 94 ± 16, 93 ± 13, 97 ± 10, and 94 ± 14. For the BSID-III, supplemental oxygen at 28 days, a prenatal diagnosis, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and exclusive tube feeds at time of discharge were associated with lower scores. At 2 years of age, history of hospital readmission and need for tube feeds were associated with lower scores. Lower socioeconomic status correlated with lower developmental scores when adjusted for significant health factors. CONCLUSION CDH patients on average have lower developmental scores at 2 years of age compared to the norm. A need for ECMO, oxygen at 28 days of life, ongoing health issues and lower socioeconomic status are factors associated with developmental delays.

Abstract
Previous work in our laboratory demonstrated that over-expression of human insulin-like growth factor -1 (hIGF-1) in the placenta corrects fetal weight deficits in mouse, rat, and rabbit models of intrauterine growth restriction without changes in placental weight. The underlying mechanisms of this effect have not been elucidated. To investigate the effect of intra-placental IGF-1 over-expression on placental function we examined glucose transporter expression and localization in both a mouse model of IUGR and a model of human trophoblast, the BeWo Choriocarcinoma cell line.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify clinical factors associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and mortality in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). STUDY DESIGN A prospective cohort of neonates with a diaphragm defect identified at 1 of 7 collaborating medical centers was studied. Echocardiograms were performed at 1 month and 3 months of age and analyzed at a central core by 2 cardiologists independently. Degree of PH and survival were tested for association with clinical variables using Fischer exact test, χ(2), and regression analysis. RESULTS Two hundred twenty patients met inclusion criteria. Worse PH measured at 1 month of life was associated with higher mortality. Other factors associated with mortality were need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, patients inborn at the treating center, and patients with a prenatal diagnosis of CDH. Interestingly, patients with right sided CDH did not have worse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Severity of PH is associated with mortality in CDH. Other factors associated with mortality were birth weight, gestational age at birth, inborn status, and need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High cardiac output lesions are associated with an increased risk of fetal death, largely as a result of cardiac failure and hydrops fetalis. The cardiovascular profile score (CVPS) has been used to characterize cardiovascular wellbeing, and has been linked to fetal outcomes in other conditions. We aimed to test the hypothesis that elevated combined cardiac output (CCO) in fetuses with high output lesions may be associated with worsening cardiovascular status, as evidenced by a lower CVPS. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of fetuses with high cardiac output lesions that underwent echocardiography between July 2006 and November 2010. Diagnoses included sacrococcygeal teratoma, placental chorioangioma and vein of Galen aneurysm. Fetal echocardiographic evaluation included assessment of CVPS, as well as Doppler/two-dimensional estimation of CCO, indexed to estimated fetal weight (CCOi). The relationship between CCO and CVPS was assessed. RESULTS A total of 35 fetuses were studied: 27 had sacrococcygeal teratoma, seven had chorioangioma and one had vein of Galen aneurysm. There was a significant inverse relationship between mean logCCOi and CVPS (r2 = 0.48, P = 0.008). Of 31 patients with clinical outcome data, 10 experienced either in-utero demise or intervention; 80% of these fetuses had a CVPS of < 8. CONCLUSIONS There is an inverse relationship between CCO and CVPS in the fetus with high cardiac output lesions. As a measure of fetal cardiovascular wellbeing in this population, the CVPS may be a useful tool for stratifying risk and for selection for intervention in these fetuses.

Abstract
We have shown that intra placental adenoviral mediated gene transfer of (Ad hIGF1) corrects birth weight in a new surgical mouse IUGR model. Evidence shows that IUGR offspring are predisposed to increased risk of adult diseases. We hypothesized that intraplacental Ad hIGF1 not only restores birth weight in this IUGR model but prevents adult onset obesity through fetal reprogramming Laparotomy was done at day 18 on time pregnant C57BL/6J mice, divided into 3 groups. Control: Sham operated; IUGR: birth weight <10% for gestational age; Treated: IUGR+IGF1; n= 16. Pups were delivered on day 20, cross fostered to surrogate CD1 mice, sorted by gender at 4 weeks and followed up to 24 weeks. Body weight, fat pad weight, fasting serum leptin and food consumption were measured. Data analyzed by Chi-square or ANOVA Compared to SHAM, IUGR significantly reduced birth weight, restored to normal in IUGR+IGF-1 (1.12± .1vs 0.9± .1 vs 1.09± .1 g, p= .001). At 8 weeks, IUGR achieved mean body weight equivalent to SHAM and IUGR+IGF-1. By week 21, regardless of sex, IUGR significantly increased weight (obesity) compared to sham and IUGR+IGF-1 (fig A). Total fad pad weights were significantly higher in IUGR compared to SHAM but were restored to normal in IUGR+IGF1 (fig B). IUGR significantly increased fasting serum leptin, compared to Sham and restored to normal in IUGR+IGF1 ( .6± .4vs 5.7± 1.1 vs .8± .4 pg/ug, p= .01). No difference in food consumption amongst the groups Intra placental gene transfer of Ad hIGF1 corrects birth weight in IUGR mice model and attenuates the risk of postnatal obesity, This support the concept that in utero reprogramming of fetal predisposition to obesity is a novel approch to treatment of IUGR.

Abstract
We have shown that mesenteric uterine artery ligation in mice significantly reduces fetal birth weight (IUGR) and increases risk of adult onset of hypertension and obesity, which are all reversed by adenoviral mediated hIGF1 (Ad hIGF1) intraplacental gene transfer. We hypothesized that intraplacental Ad hIGF1 in IUGR mice prevents adult onset of obesity even when challenged with environmental stress as fat diet. Laparotomy was done at day 18 on pregnant C57BL/6J mice and divided into 3 groups (n= 16). Control: Sham operated; IUGR: birth weight <10% for gestational age; Treated: IUGR+IGF-1. Pups were delivered on day 20, cross fostered to CD1 mice, sorted by gender at 4 weeks. At 8 weeks, high fat diet (45% fat) was introduced and mice were followed up to 24 weeks. Body weight, fat pad, fasting serum leptin and food consumption were measured. Data analyzed by Chi-square or ANOVA and stratified by sex Compared to sham, IUGR significantly decreases birth weight, which is restored to normal in IUGR+IGF-1(1.12± .1 vs 0.9± .1 vs 1.09± .1 g, p=0.001). Mean body weight differences among the groups persist till 8 weeks. By 14 weeks, male IUGR mice had significant weight gain(obese) compared to sham and treatment groups (fig A). Same trend was seen in female IUGR at 18 weeks. Total fad pad weights were significantly higher in IUGR compared to SHAM, restored to normal in IUGR+IGF-1 (fig B). Compared to sham, IUGR significantly increases fasting serum leptin, restored to normal in IUGR+IGF-1 (2.4±0.2 vs 7.9±1.5 vs 3.4±0.4 pg/ug, p= .01) Our results demonstrate that intraplacental gene transfer with Ad-hIGF-1 reprograms the IUGR fetus and attenuates the risk of adult onset of obesity under environmental stress

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefit of cervical cerclage for cervical length ≤ 25 mm at the time of fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) for twin-twin transfusion syndrome. STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted with 163 patients with a short cervix before FLP for twin-twin transfusion syndrome. Seventy-nine of the patients (48%) had cerclage placement at the surgeon's discretion. The outcome measures that were compared were gestational age at delivery and perinatal mortality rates for patients with cerclage and those who were treated conservatively. Outcomes were evaluated with the use of comparative statistics. RESULTS There were no differences in the preoperative variables, except cerclage was performed more frequently for a cervical length of ≤ 15 mm (P < .001). There were no differences in the gestational age at delivery (28.8 ± 5.4 vs 29.1 ± 5.6 weeks with and without cerclage, respectively; P = .15); perinatal mortality rates were similar between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION The benefit of cerclage for patients with short cervix before FLP remains questionable.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) or lower extremity amputation (LEA) are complications of diabetes. In those with diabetes, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) are commonly used to prevent the progression of kidney disease. Recent studies have indicated that angiotensin may affect angiogenesis and wound repair. Our goal was to evaluate in those with diabetes the likelihood of developing a DFU or LEA among users of ACEi or ARB using a retrospective cohort design of general practices in the United Kingdom. We studied 40,342 individuals at least 35 years of age with diabetes who were first prescribed ACEi or ARB between 1995 and 2006. A total of 35,153 individuals were treated with ACEi, 12,437 individuals with ARB, and 7,310 both. The hazard ratio for DFU was 0.50 (95% confidence intervals: 0.43, 0.59), showing an increased risk of DFU for those using ACEi vs. ARB. The hazard ratio for LEA was 0.72 (0.48, 1.01). However, among those with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease the hazard ratio was 0.45 (0.22, 0.91) for the new onset of a LEA. In conclusion, among those with diabetes, exposure to ACEi as compared with ARB increases the risk of developing a DFU or LEA.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aim to assess the potential of prenatal predictors of postnatal severe pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and to define a new prenatal pulmonary hypertension index (PPHI). METHODS A retrospective chart review of CDH patients between May 2005 and October 2008 was conducted. Ten patients with systemic/suprasystemic and 9 patients with subsystemic pulmonary hypertension at 3 weeks of age were identified. Diameters of the right pulmonary artery, left pulmonary artery (LPA(d)), aorta, and the length of vermis of the cerebellum were obtained from prenatal magnetic resonance imaging to calculate the PPHI [=(LPA(d)/length of vermis of the cerebellum) x 10] and the modified McGoon index (MGI) [=(diameter of the right pulmonary artery + LPA(d))/diameter of aorta]. Prenatal pulmonary hypertension index and MGI were compared with lung-to-head ratio, percent predicted lung volume, and total lung volume for pulmonary hypertension and survival. RESULTS The PPHI and MGI had a significant, negative correlation with pulmonary hypertension (r = -0.61, P = .005, and r = -0.72, P < .005, respectively). The PPHI and MGI are significantly lower in the systemic/suprasystemic PAH group compared with the subsystemic PAH group (1.11 +/- 0.32 versus 1.63 +/- 0.28, P = .004, and 0.71 +/- 0.15 versus 1.05 +/- 0.11, P < .001, respectively). There were no significant differences between the groups comparing the lung-to-head ratio, percent predicted lung volume, and total lung volume. CONCLUSION Both PPHI and MGI accurately predict the severity of postnatal PAH in isolated left CDH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of complications after selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). STUDY DESIGN One hundred fifty-two cases of TTTS were treated with selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation from 2005-2008. Complications were TTTS recurrence, amniotic band syndrome, iatrogenic monoamnionicity, and twin anemia-polycythemia sequence. Data were placed in the following categories: no complications; early complications < or =7 days; late complications >7 days; both early and late complications. RESULTS The incidence of early, late, and both early and late complications was 31%, 39%, and 10%. Complications included 2 cases (1.3%) of monoamnionicity, 3 cases (2.0%) of recurrent TTTS, 3 cases (2.0%) of twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, and 5 cases (3.3%) of amniotic band syndrome. Cases with TTTS with early complications had a lower number of superficial arteriovenous vascular anastomoses and 1 or both fetus survival (70.2% vs 96.7%; P < .001), compared with no complications. Fetal survival was 238 of 307 cases (77.5%), with 1 or both twins surviving in 134 of 152 (88%) of pregnancies. CONCLUSION The incidence of early, late, and both early and late complications was 31%, 39%, and 10%, respectively. Close postoperative surveillance is important.

Abstract
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication in about 10% to 20% of monozygous twin gestations with an incidence of 4% to 35% in the United States. Severe TTTS is reported to occur in 5.5% to 17.5% of cases. TTTS is a progressive disease in which sudden deteriorations in clinical status can occur, leading to death of a co-twin. Up to 30% of survivors may have abnormal neurodevelopment as a result of the combination of profound antenatal insult and the complications of severe prematurity. This article presents an overview of what is known about the pathophysiology and the diagnosis of TTTS, the role of echocardiography in TTTS, treatment options available for TTTS, complications of treatment for TTTS, and short- and long-term outcomes of TTTS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the acute effects of selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (SFLP) on recipient cardiovascular function in a twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective chart review of echocardiographic data in TTTS including right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular Doppler myocardial performance index (MPI); LV and RV end diastolic wall thickness; and umbilical artery (UA), vein (UV), and ductus venosus (DV) Dopplers. The primary outcome measures were improved MPI defined as greater than 10% interval decrease in left and/or right MPI. Data were analyzed by Student t test and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS Sixty-five patients met inclusion criteria. SFLP results in a significant improvement in UV and DV Doppler and an increase in both RV and LV wall thickness. A 10% or greater improvement in recipient LV MPI after SFLP is associated with improved recipient survival as compared with unimproved LV MPI (100% vs 86.1%, P = .05). CONCLUSION Improved recipient myocardial performance index after SFLP is associated with improvement in recipient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the incidence and perinatal outcomes of TTTS complicated with placental insufficiency (PI/TTTS). STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study of all TTTS with PI. PI is defined as estimated fetal weight < 10% with elevated head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio and weight discordance > 20%. RESULTS Fifty-two out of 270 (19%) pregnancies met criteria. Forty-nine (94.2%) donor twins were diagnosed with PI/TTTS. Fifteen were treated with amnioreduction, 26 with selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, 4 with donor intrafetal radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and 7 had expectant management. There was a high incidence of abnormal Dopplers and abnormal placental cord insertion in the donor twin (58% marginal, 35% membranous) with a mean estimated fetoscopic donor placental share of 26.1 +/- 14.3%. There was a significant decrease in the overall donor survival rate of 61% (4 RFA selected donors were excluded) as compared to overall recipient survival rate of 85%, respectively (P = .009). There was no significant difference in donor or recipient survival rate among the treatment groups (P = .058). CONCLUSION Placental insufficiency impacts the survival of the affected twins in the setting of TTTS. Studies are needed for appropriate treatment in TTTS with placental insufficiency.
