Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate an AI software that detects and quantifies breast arterial calcifications (BAC) in women who had both mammograms and CT scans from 2009 to 2018.
- The AI software demonstrated a strong correlation with manual BAC scoring by radiologists and had specific metrics for its effectiveness in identifying significant coronary artery calcification (CAC).
- The findings suggest that the automated BAC AI score could be beneficial for integrating BAC information into mammography results, enhancing the understanding of women's cardiovascular health risks.
[Antenatal care for fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia].
Gynecol Obstet Fertil Senol
September 2024
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can be diagnosed prenatally and its severity assessed by fetal imaging. The prognosis of a fetus with CDH is based on whether or not the hernia is isolated, the measurement of lung volume on ultrasound and MRI, and the position of the liver. The birth of a child with CDH should take place in a center adapted to the care of such children, and in accordance with the recommendations defined by the French National Diagnosis and Care Protocol.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative study by reviewing the medical records of women with severe preeclampsia at ≤ 26+0 weeks, from January 2010 to June 2018, in two centers: Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina, in Sao Paulo, Brazil (where medical abortion is forbidden in this indication) and Hôpital Antoine-Béclère, Clamart, France (where medical termination is accepted). We collected information on maternal characteristics, laboratory tests, maternal complications and fetal and newborn characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are key prenatal diagnostic procedures with a small miscarriage risk of about 0.5%, and a training model for these procedures has been developed and evaluated using simulation-based learning for obstetricians-gynecologists.
- A preliminary study was conducted through an anonymous online survey sent to 82 trained obstetricians-gynecologists to assess whether simulation training impacted their professional practices.
- Out of 48 respondents, 98% felt the training significantly influenced their work, with half deeming the impact major, and 60% now affiliated with a Multidisciplinary Center for Prenatal Diagnosis, indicating the training's effectiveness.
Fetal supraventricular tachycardia and cystic fibrosis: Coincidence or association? Two case reports.
J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod
October 2018
Prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is difficult and is mainly considered upon identification of digestive sonographic signs. Although such an association has never been described until now to our knowledge, we report two cases of fetal arrhythmia associated with cystic fibrosis. This association may be explained by the physiopathology of heart in the context of CF, but nevertheless needs to be confirmed by other reports.
