Insights into neurosonographic indicators for prenatal diagnosis of fetal neurological anomalies and cortical development: A systematic review of the literature.

Background: Congenital defects of the central nervous system are the second cause of disability in childhood, representing up to 20 % of structural malformations diagnosed prenatally. The accurate prenatal diagnosis of fetal neurological anomalies and the assessment of cortical development are critical for early intervention and improved long-term outcomes. Neurosonography plays a vital role in this process, providing detailed insights into the structural and functional development of the fetal brain.

Rehabilitation Services for Young-Onset Dementia: Examples from High- and Low-Middle-Income Countries.

The WHO Dementia Global Action Plan states that rehabilitation services for dementia are required to promote health, reduce disability, and maintain quality of life for those living with dementia. Current services, however, are scarce, particularly for people with young-onset dementia (YOD). This article, written by an international group of multidisciplinary dementia specialists, offers a three-part overview to promote the development of rehabilitation services for YOD.

Assessing the impact of pregnancy planning on obstetric and perinatal outcomes in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus.

Aims: We investigated the role of pregnancy planning in improving glycemic control and its potential impact on the overall pregnancy outcomes, obstetric outcomes, and perinatal well-being in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM).

Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted, including all pregnant women with PGDM treated in our center 2012 and 2018.

Results: Among 425 participants, 26.

Long-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome After Selective Fetoscopic Laser Therapy for Stage I Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome.

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication in monochorionic (MC) pregnancies. Fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) is the primary treatment for advanced TTTS, but managing Quintero stage I TTTS is still controversial. We conducted an observational study evaluating the 2-year neurodevelopment of fetuses, which underwent FLS for stage I TTTS, compared with advanced TTTS and uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic twins (MCDTs).
