In a miraculous medical success, a woman, who had two uteruses, managed to give birth to twins from both wombs in September in China.

The woman, who is from northwest China, had the rare medical condition of two uteruses since birth.&nbsp;

This condition is very rare and has been till now found only in 0.3 per cent of women worldwide.&nbsp;

As per the China National Radio, both the uteruses of the woman were fully formed and had oviducts and ovaries.

Even though the double ovary condition is very rare, it is even more uncommon for a woman to manage to successfully give birth from both.

In early September, the woman in Shaanxi province gave birth to a boy and a girl. She delivered the babies when she was eight and a half months pregnant, the South China Morning Post reported.

Speaking to local media, senior obstetrician at the hospital,&nbsp;Cai Ying, said, “Being pregnant in each of the two uteruses through natural conception is very rare. We have only heard of a couple of such cases from both China and abroad.”

“It’s even rarer that a woman with this condition would successfully give birth after 37 weeks,” she added, further stating that it was a “one in a million” phenomenon.

<h2>How did the woman manage to give birth to twins from two uteruses?</h2>

Generally, women who have two uteruses face no symptoms till they become pregnant.&nbsp;

During pregnancy, they face&nbsp;a high risk of repeated miscarriages, underdevelopment of the foetus, premature birth, and post-partum haemorrhages.

The woman had been pregnant earlier, but suffered a miscarriage at 27 weeks because of unidentified factors, stated the report.

In January, after the woman became pregnant, a meticulous plan was sketched out by the doctors to ensure her safety.

The babies were delivered healthy. The boy weighed 3.3 kg and girl 2.4 kg.

The babies were delivered through a caesarean operation. The doctors discharged the woman and her newborns four days after the birth of the babies.

Reacting to the news, an online user said, “The babies lived a luxurious life inside their mother’s belly. Instead of sharing the same house like other twin fetuses, they lived in separate villas.”

“My colleague has two uteruses. She lost her baby three times before having a son. It was not easy for her!” said another netizen.

Chinese woman with rare two uteruses gives birth to twins from both wombs

A Chinese woman has taken the drastic decision of aborting her unborn boy after she was told that the infant had XYY syndrome which many people believe will lead him to become a person with violent and aggressive tendencies.

In the prenatal checks, a random website revealed that there was XYY syndrome in the unborn child, which is a genetic condition that has been wrongly linked to human criminal behaviour.

The six-month pregnant woman, identified as Jiujiu, lives in Sichuan province, southwestern China. On July 14, she posted her prenatal examination report on Douyin in which it was reflected that her unborn baby had a high chance of having XYY syndrome.

<h2>What is XYY criminal syndrome?</h2>

XYY syndrome, which is also known as Jacob’s syndrome, is a condition in which the child gets an extra Y chromosome. XYY syndrome is exclusively found in males.

“Generally speaking, individuals with XYY syndrome might appear more masculine and taller than others,” said Qi Qianrong, who is the Reproductive Medicine Centre of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University's embryologist in the central province of Hubei, while speaking to the South China Morning Post.

“The condition is not rare, with reported cases being one in 1,000. Many people have chromosomal abnormal conditions, which usually do not affect normal life,” Qi stated.

<h2>Woman takes difficult decision to abort child&nbsp;</h2>

Jiujiu on July 18 took the decision to abort the pregnancy after discussing it with her family members and consulting the doctors.

“Given the uncertainties after birth and my situation as in an ordinary family, I decided to terminate the pregnancy to be responsible to myself and the unborn child,” Jiujiu said.

“I hope people will not stigmatise XYY syndrome. You should understand the reality of this condition from a doctor. Regardless, losing the child is a painful experience for me,” she added.

Meanwhile, embryologist Qi said, “People’s understanding of XYY syndrome is one-sided. They exaggerate traits such as violence or criminality. Some criminals have the syndrome, but it doesn’t mean all with the syndrome will be criminals."

“A person’s character is not solely determined by chromosomes but also by family environment, education and other factors,” he added.

Researchers in Spain are aiming to trick nature by developing an artificial womb for premature babies after the experiments on animals were successful in keeping the foetuses alive for 12 days.&nbsp;

The tests showed that the artificial placenta prototype of the womb recreated a protective environment using a translucent container made of biocompatible material inside which the foetus' lungs, intestines and brain can continue to develop.

The placenta prototype is further connected to an amniotic fluid circulation system that keeps the foetus isolated from exterior stimuli but available for ultrasound controls and monitoring.

As per the latest figures released by the World Health Organization, nearly 900,000 premature babies died worldwide in the year 2019.&nbsp;

The babies that are born after six months of pregnancy or less are considered extremely premature and are also at high risk of death or disability.

"We try to develop a system that allows us to keep a foetus outside its mother but still in the foetal conditions: that it continues to breathe through the umbilical cord ... that we can feed it through the umbilical cord, that it lives surrounded by fluid at a constant temperature," project head Eduard Gratacos said in a conversation with news agency Reuters.&nbsp;

<h2>Human trial expected in a few years</h2>

The team has previously conducted its pre-clinical studies with lambs, where they were successful in achieving a 12-day foetus survival.

The team now plans to test the artificial womb with pigs before proposing its human trial in a few years.

"The highly-complex project spans many different specialities of medicine and requires engineers of different types. It's a challenge, it's extremely delicate to achieve this, to trick nature to make this possible," Gratacos said.

Another group of scientists at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia managed to keep animal foetuses alive for 28 days.

Kelly Werner, assistant professor of paediatrics at Columbia University, told the Science Media Centre that the Spanish team's positive results must be rigorously tested in clinical trials on humans to check for safety and side effects.

"Although it is an exciting development, the artificial placenta is not intended to replace a natural placenta," Werner said. "That is, despite these advancements, we still should make every effort to support maternal health and decrease risk factors that lead to preterm birth."

Spanish researchers aim to trick nature by creating artificial womb for premature babies

A breakthrough surgery was conducted by a group of American surgeons on a baby while it was still in the womb to address a rare blood artery abnormality&nbsp;inside the brain.

At Brigham and Women's Hospital and Boston Children's Hospital, an operation was performed to treat the "Venus of Galen malformation," a rare brain disorder, reported CNN.

The disease is caused when the blood vessel that transports blood from the brain to the heart does not mature properly.&nbsp;The abnormality causes an excessive volume of blood to flow through the veins and heart, stressing them and perhaps causing a chain reaction of health issues.&nbsp;

"Tremendous brain injuries and immediate heart failure after birth are the two big challenges," Dr&nbsp;Darren Orbach, a radiologist at Boston Children's Hospital and expert in treating VOGM, told&nbsp;CNN.

He described the condition in detail, stating that in most cases, newborns are treated using a catheter to insert small coils to reduce blood flow. The treatment, nevertheless, often takes place too late.

"Despite advancements in care, "50 to 60 per cent of all babies with this condition will get very sick immediately. And for those, it looks like there's about a 40 per cent mortality rate. About half of infants that survive experience severe neurological and cognitive issues," Orbach said.

When doctors discovered Baby Denver's rare blood vessel abnormality in the brain during a routine ultrasound, she was still developing normally inside her mother's womb, reports CBS News. Heart failure or brain injury are common in these babies, and they frequently don't survive. Denver's heart was compromised&nbsp;and the abnormality had grown to a potentially dangerous size.

As a result, at 34 weeks of pregnancy, a team from Boston Children's and the Brigham was able to treat&nbsp;her malformation while she was still inside the womb. They did this with the aid of ultrasound guidance, an amniocentesis-style needle, and tiny coils that were inserted right into the abnormal blood vessels to reduce blood flow.

<h2>What is a&nbsp;Vein of Galen malformation?</h2>

Vein of Galen malformation&nbsp;(VOGM) is a kind of uncommon blood vessel abnormality that can occur inside the brain, according to Boston Children's Hospital. In VOGM, abnormally shaped arteries in the brain connect with veins directly rather than through capillaries. A rush of blood at high pressure enters the veins as a result. Multiple issues may result from this increased pressure in the veins.

Groundbreaking! Doctors perform critical brain surgery on baby inside womb

Fine particles have been found in the polluted air of China which is leading to the death of 64,000 babies every year while they are still in their wombs, a study conducted by researchers claims.&nbsp;The statistics reflect such shocking figures despite efforts being made by Beijing to control pollution in the past 10 years and more. 
 
The study analysed 137 countries in which it was discovered that exposure to particles, which are generally produced when fossil fuels are burnt and which are smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), has led to 40% of stillbirths in Latin America, Asia and Africa in the year 2015.

In the study which analysed all the countries where world's 98% of stillbirths occur, China was ranked in fourth place based on fetal deaths related to PM2.5, as per the study published in the scientific journal Nature Communications. 
 
The Peking University's researchers, headed by Xue Tao, pointed out the measures adopted by the Chinese authorities in the past decade to control air pollution have reduced the number of such deaths. 
 
“Improved air quality in some of the 137 countries (e.g. China) might underlie the reduction in the global burden of stillbirths. Therefore, meeting the World Health Organisation air quality targets could prevent stillbirths,” the researchers wrote. 
 
Although how polluted air is responsible for stillbirth is widely known, this is the first study that has been conducted to calculate the exact number of fetal death recorded. In a 2020 report, Unicef described the phenomenon as a “neglected tragedy”.

The study overall found that a 10 µg/m3 increase in exposure to PM2.5 was resulting in an 11% increase in the cases of stillbirth. The researchers claim that when pollution particles pass through the placenta they may cause “irreversible embryonic damage”. It is also suspected to disturb oxygen transmission to the fetus. 
 
“In recent years, China has been working hard on treating air pollution and seen rapid improvement in air quality as a result, which is of great importance to the protection of the health of pregnant women and children,” Zhu Tong, the study's another leading author said. 
 
“However, a great population and uneven social development mean there are still a big number of pregnant women exposed to air pollution,” he added.

‘Airborne baby killer’: Air pollution in China kills 64,000 babies in womb every year, says study

In a shocking case of negligence, the employees of a rural health centre (RHC) in Sindh province of Pakistan put a 32-year-old Hindu woman in a life-threatening situation by severing the head of her newborn baby and leaving it inside her womb, media reports said. She was also allegedly filmed while lying on a stretcher.&nbsp;On getting apprised, the government of Sindh initiated a medical inquiry into the tragic incident to nab the culprits. "The Bheel Hindu woman, who belongs to a far-flung village in Tharparkar district, had first gone to a Rural Health Centre in her area but with no female gynaecologist was available, the inexperienced staff caused her immense trauma," said Professor Raheel Sikander, head, gynaecology unit, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS) in Jamshoro. &nbsp;

In a botched-up surgery conducted on Sunday, the staff of RHC cut off the head of the newborn baby in the womb of the mother and left it inside, Sikander added. &nbsp;

As the woman faced a life-threatening situation, she was taken to a nearby hospital in Mithi but to no avail as they did not have facilities to treat her. Finally, she was brought to the LUMHS. The doctors at the facility took out the newborn’s rest of the body from the womb of the mother to save her life, he added. &nbsp;

As the head of the baby had got entrapped inside, the uterus of the mother had ruptured. To take out the head, the healthcare professionals opened the abdomen surgically, Sikandar added. &nbsp;&nbsp;

It will probe the absence of a gynaecologist and female staffers at the RHC in Chachro. They will also look into the reports that some staff members also filmed the woman when she was lying on a stretcher. &nbsp;

"Apparently, some members of the staff took her photos on a mobile phone in the gynaecology ward and shared those pictures on different WhatsApp groups," Juman added. &nbsp;&nbsp;
