Objective: To determine maternal and perinatal outcomes after induction of labor (IOL) at 39 weeks compared with expectant management.
Methods: This is a retrospective national cohort study from the National Center for Health Statistics birth database. The study included singleton, low-risk pregnancies with a non-anomalous fetus delivered at 39-42 weeks gestation between 2015 and 2018.
Article Synopsis
- * A specific variant, p.I668F, was found to be common among Ashkenazi Jews, with a notable allele frequency of about 2%, indicating a potential genetic marker for these heart defects.
- * The study revealed that PLD1 variants affected the protein's enzymatic activity, which is vital for heart development, and showed that inhibiting PLD1 could reduce early heart valve formation issues.
Objectives: To establish normal ranges of fetal nasal bone length throughout gestation in the East African population and to subsequently compare these measurements with the standardized reference.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed at the University of Minnesota from January 2011 to December 2016. Fetal nasal bone length measurements were generated in a midsagittal plane at an angle of insonation of 45° from ultrasound images of 1407 nonanomalous fetuses of 1130 mothers of East African decent between 14 and 40 weeks' gestation.
The occurrence of simultaneous de novo chromosomal aberrations is extremely rare. Here, we describe two, previously unreported, simultaneous de novo interstitial duplications of chromosomes 7p and 15q. Amniocentesis was completed for a healthy gravida 4 para 3 woman due to her advanced maternal age and concurrent ultrasound findings of partial vermian agenesis, choroid-plexus cysts, and hypoplastic nasal bone.

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter cohort study included singleton pregnancies between 23 and 42 weeks of gestation from January 2005 to April 2016. Women with BMI 60 or greater were compared with a random sample of women with BMI 30-59.
