Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a risk factor for neurodevelopmental problems, yet remains poorly understood. We sought to examine the relationship between intrauterine development and neonatal neurobehavior in pregnancies diagnosed with antenatal FGR.
Methods: We recruited women with singleton pregnancies diagnosed with FGR and measured placental and fetal brain volumes using MRI.
Small bowel obstruction is a common operative finding following an acute surgical admission. However, small bowel obstruction due to an enterolith is a rarer finding. Enteroliths are formed in conditions contributing to hypomotility and stasis within the gastrointestinal tract.

However, this technology is not common practice for anatomy instruction in nonmedical graduate-level courses. Ultrasound sessions provide a clear view of local anatomy and could help graduate students transfer anatomical content from a didactic context onto a living, moving body.

- Cichlids have diversified significantly across Africa, particularly in rivers and lakes, with a focus on the economically important oreochromine cichlids, or tilapia, which have unique adaptations to soda environments.
- This study presents a comprehensive DNA analysis of the Oreochromis genus and closely related Alcolapia, revealing discordance between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, which may suggest complex evolutionary histories.
- The research indicates that adaptation to harsh conditions has occurred multiple times in Oreochromis, with extreme adaptations likely originating once, leading to a taxonomic revision that places Alcolapia as a subgenus of Oreochromis.
Objectives: National societies provide little guidance regarding which colonoscopy bowel preps are best tolerated and most effective; this reflects a lack of comparative effectiveness studies that directly evaluate the available preps in a "real-world" setting. To address this gap, we conducted a prospective, commercially unfunded comparative effectiveness study of currently available bowel preps and measured their impact on bowel cleansing.
Methods: We included patients aged ≥18 years, who presented for an outpatient colonoscopy at a large medical center serving more than 70 academic and community-based endoscopists who are free to prescribe the bowel prep of their choice.
