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.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of measuring fasting plasma glucose (FPG) within 24-48 h postpartum in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as a predictor for abnormal 6-12-week postpartum oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study (2012-2021) included women with GDM and singleton pregnancies who had FPG levels recorded 24-28 h postpartum and underwent a 6-12-week OGTT. The study compared the predictive accuracy of these FPG readings with the OGTT results.
Background: Rapid delivery is important in cases of umbilical cord prolapse to prevent hypoxic injury to the fetus/neonate. However, the optimal decision-to-delivery interval remains controversial.
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between the decision-to-delivery interval in women with umbilical cord prolapse, stratified by fetal heart rate pattern at diagnosis, and neonatal outcome.
Purpose: To evaluate the association between a single abnormal value on a 3-h 100 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results and future type-2 diabetes mellitus (Type-2 DM).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of women between 18 and 45 years of age who underwent a 3-h OGTT during pregnancy and delivered in a tertiary medical center between 2007 and 2014. The women were followed for a median period of 64 months postpartum.
