Objective: To assess whether, and to what extent, performing triplicate measurements can improve accuracy of estimation of fetal weight (EFW) compared to single measurements.
Methods: This was a prospective study conducted at a single medical center. A total of 100 term parturients with an anticipated delivery within 72 hours were recruited for EFW measurements.
Visual biofeedback for shortening second stage of labor: randomized controlled trial.
Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
January 2024
Objective: To determine whether visual biofeedback can be used during labor as an effective tool for shortening the second stage of labor and reducing the need for instrumental delivery.
Methods: This was a single-center randomized controlled trial. Nulliparous women under epidural anesthesia were randomized at the point of full dilation into the biofeedback group (n = 50) or the control group (n = 50).
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants banned for use worldwide. Due to their biodegradation resistance, they accumulate along the food chain and in the environment. Maternal exposure to PCBs may affect the fetus and the infant.

- Intrapartum transperineal ultrasound (ITU) is used to check fetal head position before operative vaginal deliveries, but the effectiveness of this tool with less experienced operators needs further evaluation.
- A study looked at AOP (angle of progression) measurements taken by OBGYN specialists compared to residents, revealing that while the average measurements were similar, residents had higher variability in their readings.
- The findings suggest that specialist measurements are more precise, highlighting the need for improved training and assessment programs for residents in using ITU effectively.
