Objectives: Use of ultrasonography has been suggested as an accurate adjunct to clinical evaluation of fetal position and station during labor. There are no available reports concerning its actual use in delivery wards. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the current practice regarding the use of ultrasonography during labor.

Objective: The estimation of the fetal weight by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) with fractional thigh volume (TVol) has been suggested to be more accurate than two-dimensional (2D) US particularly within the context of fetuses at risk of macrosomia. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of 2D US and 3D US with two different methods of projection for the identification of fetal macrosomia at term.
Study Design: Prospective study which included women at risk for fetal macrosomia referred for fetal biometry between 34-36 weeks.
Objective: The objective of this study was to longitudinally evaluate maternal echocardiographic findings in uncomplicated twin gestations according to chorionicity.
Methods: Healthy women with twin pregnancy were assessed with transthoracic echocardiography across the first, second, and third trimesters. Cardiac findings were compared within each group and between monochorionic (MC) and dicho-rionic (DC) pregnancies.
Objectives: A narrow subpubic arch angle (SPA) has been associated with a higher risk of operative delivery and prolonged labor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between SPA and labor outcome in a cohort of women delivering a large-for-gestational-age (LGA) fetus.
Methods: An observational study involving two Italian tertiary centers (Parma and Rome) was carried out.
