Does early weight gain decrease the incidence of low birth weight and small for gestational age triplets in mothers with normal pre-gestational body mass index?
Early weight gain of >680 g/week in triplet mothers with a normal pre-pregnancy BMI is not associated with a decrease in the incidence of adverse outcomes. Weight gain recommendations in triplet pregnancies should be realistic and associated with a low risk-benefit ratio.
Unlike other risk factors associated with endothelial dysfunction, acute exposure to high concentrations of UA does not impair cardiovascular function in healthy men. These findings do not support a causal link between hyperuricaemia and atherosclerosis.
