Background: Existing mental health apps are largely not aimed at generally healthy young people who may be experimenting with addictive substances and mind-altering experiences.
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the interest and expectations of young people regarding a proposed smartphone app designed to help protect and promote mental health and resilience in the face of risks associated with substance use.
Methods: The study was based on agile system development and had 3 empirical substudies.
Objective: To evaluate ultrasound prenasal thickness (PT) as a way of enhancing the Down syndrome (DS) screening performance of second-trimester nasal bone (NB) length measurement.
Methods: Twenty-one DS and 500 normal fetuses were scanned at 14-27 weeks' gestation. The affected karyotype was known to the person performing the scan.
All five digits of the hands of fetuses with Down syndrome are short.

Objective: To compare mid-gestation sonographic measurements of all five digits of the hands of fetuses with Down syndrome with those of normal controls.
Methods: Twenty-nine fetuses between 17 and 26 weeks' gestation which had been confirmed by karyotyping to have Down syndrome were included in this prospective study. Each fetus was scanned once and the digits of only one hand were measured.
Objective: To evaluate the outcome of euploid fetuses with increased nuchal translucency thickness (NT) expressed in multiples of the median (MoM) or delta-NT.
Methods: Included in the study were euploid fetuses with increased NT >or= 95(th) centile, for which information about pregnancy outcome was available. The following parameters were defined as an adverse outcome: miscarriage, structural anomalies justifying termination of pregnancy, and structural anomalies, genetic syndromes and neurodevelopmental problems diagnosed postnatally.
