Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based algorithms are increasingly entering clinical practice, aiding in the assessment of fetal anatomy and biometry. One such tool for evaluating the fetal head and central nervous system structures is SonoCNS™, which delineates appropriate planes for measuring head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), occipitofrontal diameter (OFD), transcerebellar diameter (TCD), width of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle (Vp), and cisterna magna (CM) based on a 3D volume acquired at the level of the fetal head's thalamic plane. This study aimed to evaluate the intra- and interobserver variability of measurements obtained using this software.

BACKGROUND Congenital malformations of the alimentary tract constitute 5% to 6% of newborn anomalies, with congenital intestinal atresia being a common cause of alimentary tract obstruction. This study explores advanced ultrasound diagnostic possibilities, including 2D, HDlive, HDlive inversion, and HDlive silhouette imaging modes, through the analysis of 3 cases involving duodenal and intestinal obstructions. Congenital malformations of the alimentary tract often present challenges in prenatal diagnosis.

Introduction: The study aimed to determine the level of basic hope and symptoms of anxiety and depression in women after miscarriage.Methods: To evaluate the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and basic hope, the standardized questionnaires the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Basic Hope Inventory (BHI-12), respectively, were used. Patients hospitalized at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Provincial Combined Hospital in Kielce due to miscarriage in the period from September 2019 to August 2021 were included in the study.

Objectives: Basic hope is important for successfully coping with, and adapting to, difficult situations. The aim of the study was to determine the level of stress and basic hope and identify the associated coping processes in women after miscarriage during hospitalization and threemonths after discharge.

Material And Methods: Atotal of 161women hospitalized due to miscarriage were included.

MDD (major depressive disorder) is a highly prevalent mental disorder with a complex etiology involving behavioral and neurochemical factors as well as environmental stress. The interindividual variability in response to stress stimuli may be explained by processes such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). LTP can be described as the strengthening of synaptic transmission, which translates into more efficient cognitive performance and is regulated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein responsible for promoting neural growth.
