Prenatal diagnosis and treatment of fetal intestinal volvulus: A case report.

Rationale: Fetal intestinal volvulus, a rare and severe disorder, poses significant diagnostic challenges prenatally and can lead to intrauterine death or adverse neonatal outcomes if untreated in a timely manner. This study reports a case of fetal intestinal volvulus confirmed postoperatively, providing insights into its clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes, thereby enhancing understanding of this rare condition.

Patient Concerns: A Chinese gravida 2, para 1 female presented at 32 weeks and 5 days of gestation with decreased fetal movements.

Efficacy of Circumferential Intensive Phototherapy in Treating Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: A Pilot Study.

Objective: The present study was aimed at developing a circumferential phototherapy unit using 3M reflective materials in the double-sided phototherapy unit and investigating its efficacy in treating neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Study Design: Forty-two infants with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were selected from our hospital; they were randomly divided into control ( = 21) and experimental groups ( = 21). The experimental group was treated with the circumferential phototherapy unit, while the control group was treated with an ordinary phototherapy unit.
