Intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: salvage mechanism for oligohydramnios complicating fetal growth restriction.

Objective: Portosystemic shunts in growth-restricted fetuses are more common than previously thought. We aimed to describe fetuses with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios in which a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CIPSS) was noted during follow-up.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of all fetuses diagnosed with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios during a 5-year period in a large tertiary referral center.

Pregnancy and cardiovascular outcomes among patients post Fontan surgery: a 25-year single-centre retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Data on the characteristics and outcomes of pregnancy and among patients with Fontan physiology are limited. We aimed to evaluate the immediate and long-term outcomes among these patients who were followed at our centre.

Methods: We included adult patients who had undergone Fontan surgery for congenital heart disease and were pregnant between 1994 and 2021.

Chronobiological Factors Influencing Glycemic Control and Birth Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Background/objectives: Studies have shown that chronobiological factors may adversely affect glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We assessed the association of chronobiological factors with glycemic control and neonatal birth weight in women with GDM.

Methods: A prospective cohort study included 208 women aged 18-45 years with a singleton pregnancy who were randomly selected from among women undergoing follow-up for GDM at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Unit of a tertiary medical center.

Risks and Outcomes of Uterine Rupture in Women With and Without a Trial of Labour.

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients who experienced uterine rupture, comparing those who underwent a trial of labour to those who did not.

Methods: A population-based retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary university medical centre from 2008 to 2019. The cohort consisted of all women who were diagnosed with uterine rupture during cesarean delivery (CD) or laparotomy.

Fetal Heart Rate and Amniotic Fluid Volume Measurements with a Home Ultrasound Device.

Objective:  Pulsenmore ES is a self-scanning ultrasound (US) system for remote fetal assessment. It comprises a handheld transducer that serves as a smartphone cradle coupled with an application and clinician's web-viewer dashboard. Recently, a novel capability was added to the system allowing offline fetal heart rate (FHR) and maximal vertical pocket (MVP) measurements.
