Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed the effectiveness of fetal Doppler ultrasound and various maternal factors in predicting cesarean sections caused by intrapartum fetal compromise (IFC), low Apgar scores, and adverse perinatal outcomes in high-risk pregnant women.
- - Conducted on 613 women, it found that specific measurements like abnormal umbilical artery resistance index (UA RI) and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) were key indicators for cesarean sections and low Apgar scores, whereas maternal traits did not significantly influence outcomes.
- - The research concluded that high UA RI is a strong predictor for adverse perinatal outcomes, and that CPR can effectively signal potential cesarean sections due to IFC in late preterm and
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of Intergrowth-21 st (INT) and Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) curves in predicting perinatal and neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborns weighing below the 3rd percentile.
Methods: Pregnant women with a single fetus aged less than 20 weeks from a general population in non-hospital health units were included. Their children were evaluated at birth and in the second or third years of life.
. Adams-Oliver syndrome is a congenital disease whose main findings are aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp and terminal transverse limb defect. The pathogenesis is unknown, but it is postulated that ischemic events in susceptible tissues cause the lesions in the embryonic period.

To date, only one account of this condition has been published in the world literature. Due to the low frequency of both complications, the hypothesis has been raised that this association may have happened not by mere coincidence, but rather by a possible common etiopathogenic mechanism.

Methods This prospective cohort study comprised 275 women whose fetuses had CAs. Maternal variables to establish potential risk factors for each group of CA and perinatal outcomes were evaluated.

- The study aimed to assess how maternal demographics and abnormal first-trimester ultrasound markers impact the risk of congenital anomalies (CAs) in newborns, specifically when initial scans show a structurally normal fetus.
- Conducted with high-risk pregnant women, the research involved detailed ultrasounds between 11-14 weeks and applied multilevel regression analysis to identify correlations between maternal factors, abnormal markers, and CAs at birth.
- Findings revealed that abnormal ultrasound indicators, like increased nuchal translucency, significantly raised the odds of congenital anomalies, highlighting a notable risk especially for conditions like trisomies 21, 18, and 13.
Purpose: To evaluate the cases of uterine rupture and dehiscence of the uterine scar at a low-risk maternity and to point out possibilities for an improved approach to these complications.
Methods: A descriptive study was conducted at a 30-bed low-risk maternity hospital that provides care to users of the public health system. The investigation was carried out by searching for cases in the delivery room registry book and later reading the medical records in order to obtain the data.
