Saade, M.D.: "Re: question from the class" YES!!! this is called superfecundation. here is but one reference: Fetal Diagn Ther 1992;7(1):17-20 A probable case of superfecundation. Okamura K, Murotsuki J, Iwamoto M, Endo H, Watanabe T, Ohashi K, Yajima A Discordant twins are of obstetrical concern because of high morbidity and mortality of either the smaller or the larger twin, or both. The discordance becomes apparent usually in the second trimester. We report a case of discordant twins diagnosed in the 10th week of gestation, which was concluded to be a case of superfecundation. The discordancy was persistent up to the 35th week of gestation, when 2 baby boys were born by cesarean section because of preeclampsia. The postnatal courses of the babies were uneventful. art At Thu, 11 Dec 1997, Allen Gardner wrote: > >Greetings Gurus, >My daughter is the instructer in a combined cytogenetic/molecular genetic lab >tech course at the Michener Institute in Toronto.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
