Article Synopsis
- Placental accreta spectrum (PAS) with bladder involvement can lead to significant complications for both mothers and newborns, making accurate diagnosis essential for treatment planning.
- This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 2D ultrasound, 3D Crystal Vue technology, and MRI in identifying PAS cases that involve the bladder.
- Results showed that specific imaging features, like bridging vessels and the obliteration of the tramline sign on Crystal Vue, were strong predictors of bladder involvement in PAS.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze structural issues, genetic results, and clinical outcomes of fetuses diagnosed with bovine aortic arch (BAA) to assist in prenatal counseling and care.
- A retrospective review of 216 fetuses from two hospitals revealed that 88.89% had isolated BAA with very few (0.52%) showing chromosomal issues, while 11.11% had non-isolated BAA, with a higher abnormality rate (16.67%).
- Overall, isolated BAA fetuses had a 99.48% chance of good postnatal outcomes, suggesting a low risk of complications, and invasive prenatal testing for low-risk cases isn't advised.
Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal maxillofacial teratoma: Two case reports.
World J Clin Oncol

Article Synopsis
- Facial teratomas are rare benign tumors found in fetuses, diagnosed through prenatal ultrasounds, accounting for about 1.6% of all teratomas.
- Two case studies highlighted abnormal facial findings in fetuses during the second trimester, with one case presenting a mass mostly outside the oral cavity and the other a cystic-solid echo mass filling the oral cavity.
- Early detection via ultrasound helps parents make informed decisions regarding treatment options for fetal maxillofacial teratomas.
This study aimed to investigate placental microblood flow perfusion in fetal growth restriction (FGR) both pre- and post-delivery, and explore the influence of LINC00473 and its downstream targets on FGR progression in trophoblast cells. Placental vascular distribution, placental vascular index (VI), CD34 expression, and histological changes were compared between control and FGR groups. FGR-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in placentae.

Materials And Methods: A total of 209 CC patients who had cervical lesions found by transvaginal sonography (TVS) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively reviewed, patients were divided into the training set (n = 146) and internal validation set (n = 63), and 52 CC patients from Anhui Provincial Maternity and Child Health Hospital and Nanchong Central Hospital were taken as the external validation set. The clinical independent predictors were selected by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Objectives: To introduce an ultrasound training program for fetal palate screening by using a sequential sector scan through the oral fissure to train less experienced doctors and to investigate its effectiveness.
Methods: Twenty doctors and several women at approximately 20-28 weeks of gestation with singleton pregnancies who provided informed consent were enrolled. The training program consisted of theory and practice training, several tests, and two surveys.
Ultrasound guidance for histological diagnosis is in real-time, convenient, and economical. The aim of this study was to determine whether transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS)- and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided aspiration biopsy allows detection of a malignant pathology of pelvic/pelvic masses. Data of 40 patients with pelvic and pelvic mass lesions by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging underwent TVUS- or TRUS-guided biopsy.
