Comparison of Utero-Placental Perfusion Development From First to Second Trimester Between Low-Risk and High-Risk Pre-eclampsia Groups With Aspirin Prophylaxis.

Introduction Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a common diagnosis in pregnancy and affects pregnancies worldwide. Early-onset PE often leads to severe maternal and fetal complications. Prophylactic use of aspirin (150 mg/day) before the 16th week of pregnancy can reduce the risk of PE.

The 'Radiant Effect': Recent Sonographic Image-Enhancing Technique and Its Impact on Nuchal Translucency Measurements.

: This study assesses the effects of the 'Radiant' image enhancement technique on fetal nuchal translucency (NT) measurements during first-trimester sonographic exams. : A retrospective analysis of 263 ultrasound images of first-trimester midsagittal sections was conducted. NT measurements were obtained using a semi-automatic tool.

Role of Ductus Venosus Doppler Sonography for the Prediction of Perinatal Outcome in Term Pregnancies Complicated by Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose: Ductus venosus (DV) Doppler velocimetry reflects fetal cardiac function. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is assumed to impair cardiac function due to fetal hyperglycemia. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of DV Doppler to predict an adverse perinatal outcome (APO) in term pregnancies with GDM.

Natural history of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) and critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS) and prediction of outcome.

Objectives: To analyse prenatal parameters predicting biventricular (BV) outcome in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum/critical pulmonary stenosis (PAIVS/CPS).

Methods: We evaluated 82 foetuses from 01/08 to 10/18 in 3 centres in intervals 1 (< 24 weeks), 2 (24-30 weeks) and 3 (> 30 weeks).

Results: 61/82 (74.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Robin Sequence: Sensitivity, Specificity, and Clinical Relevance of an Index for Micrognathia.

Objective: Micrognathia in connection with glossoptosis (called Robin sequence) may lead to life-threatening respiratory problems immediately after birth. An objective detection during prenatal routine ultrasound sonography is possible using an index that relates fetal lower jaw length to femur length or gestational age. The aim of this study was to test the method's sensitivity and specificity and to discuss its predictive power concerning neonatal respiratory insufficiency.
