Repeatability and reproducibility of artificial intelligence-acquired fetal brain measurements (SonoCNS) in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based algorithms are increasingly entering clinical practice, aiding in the assessment of fetal anatomy and biometry. One such tool for evaluating the fetal head and central nervous system structures is SonoCNS™, which delineates appropriate planes for measuring head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), occipitofrontal diameter (OFD), transcerebellar diameter (TCD), width of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle (Vp), and cisterna magna (CM) based on a 3D volume acquired at the level of the fetal head's thalamic plane. This study aimed to evaluate the intra- and interobserver variability of measurements obtained using this software.

Navigating Uncertain Waters: First-Trimester Screening's Role in Identifying Neonatal Complications.

: Contemporary diagnostic methods aimed at assessing neonatal outcomes predominantly rely on the medical history of pregnant women. Ideally, universal biomarkers indicating an increased risk of delivering infants in poor clinical condition, with a heightened likelihood of requiring hospitalization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), would be beneficial for appropriately stratifying pregnant women into a high-risk category. Our study evaluated whether biochemical and ultrasonographical markers universally used in first-trimester screenings for non-heritable chromosomal aberrations could serve this purpose.

Repeatability and Reproducibility of Potential Ultrasonographic Bishop Score Parameters.

Determination of the Bishop score (BS) is a traditional method of assessing the cervix in obstetrics and gynecology. This examination is characterized by subjectivity of assessment and low repeatability. In scientific studies intended to evaluate the results of the procedure based on the initial assessment, it is necessary to find an objective scale based on ultrasonography.

Repeatability and reproducibility of quantitative cervical strain elastography (E-Cervix) in pregnancy.

Strain elastography of the uterine cervix may be useful in the diagnosis and prediction of obstetric complications. The inability to obtain quantitative results, with only the possibility of visual semiquantitative evaluation of the obtained elastograms, has been the limitation of the method thus far. E-Cervix is a software program that uses intrinsic compression to excite tissue and allows the evaluation of quantitative parameters on the basis of pixel distribution in an elastogram.

Collection of umbilical cord blood and the risk of complications in postpartum women after natural labour in the context of the possibility of umbilical cord stem cells usage in clinical practice.

Objectives: Comparison of changes in peripheral blood venous morphology and the frequency of select complications in patients who underwent umbilical cord blood collection during the third stage of labour by in the utero method compared to patients who did not undergo this procedure. Presentation of current therapeutic possibilities of cord blood stem cells.

Material And Methods: The study involved 248 patients who had a vaginal delivery and had umbilical cord blood taken by in utero method during the third stage of labour.
