Article Synopsis
- Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a rare genetic condition marked by intellectual disabilities, unique facial traits, and specific limb deformities.
- The diagnosis is primarily based on clinical signs and confirmed through genetic tests.
- This prenatal case study highlights four instances of RSTS, showcasing both early and later sonographic indicators, including nonspecific signs like corpus callosum dysgenesis and distinctive features like a beaked nose and abnormal scrotum development.
Importance: Oral and oropharyngeal cancer have low survival rates, and incidence continues to increase.
Objective: To determine whether soluble CD44 and total protein (TP) are useful for monitoring head and neck cancer recurrence, either used in a point-of-care (POC) test or as individual laboratory-based biomarkers.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multi-institutional nonrandomized clinical trial testing a novel diagnostic/screening assay took place across the University of California, San Diego; Johns Hopkins University; the Greater Baltimore Medical Center; New York University; and the San Diego Veterans Affairs Hospital.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy of the portal system in fetuses with persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV).
Methods: Prospective observational study of fetuses diagnosed with PRUV. All patients underwent a comprehensive portal system anatomy scan supplemented by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) color doppler modalities.
Background: Esophageal atresia is a major anomaly with a low prenatal detection rate. We propose a sonographic method termed dynamic esophageal patency assessment.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and performance of the dynamic esophageal patency assessment in a high-risk population.
