Objectives And Design: Cardiac arrhythmias are one of the most frequent indications for the fetal echocardiographic assessment. The objective of this work is to present our own results of diagnosing and treating the fetuses with arrhythmias.
Materials And Methods: The 1485 prenatal echocardiographic examinations were performed in 1302 fetuses. The 109 of fetuses suffered from arrhythmias.
Results: 68 fetuses (62.8%) in the analysed group presented with arrhythmias in the form of extra-systoles, 19 fetuses (17.4%) with tachycardia and 22 (20.2%) with a complete atrioventricular block.
Conclusions: We concluded, that arrhythmias can be diagnosed precisely in the early prenatal period, which enables the introduction of the adequate pharmacological treatment and the coexistence of the fetal complete a-v block and structural heart defect in a fetus is associated with poor prognosis.

Background: Some mammals including the swine carry a fibrous vestigial clavicle, but a subclavius muscle (SBM) extends between the first rib and the supraspinatus muscle surface fascia. We aimed to examine development of the SBM and clavicle for finding a specific factor to provide the curious morphology.
Materials And Methods: Histological sections of early- and midterm fetuses of the swine, human and mouse were observed and compared at the almost same morphological stage.

Globally, obesity prevalence has progressively increased and is now at epidemic levels; this trend is mirrored in women of childbearing age. There is a high level of evidence that maternal obesity is associated with a range of adverse pregnancy complications and neonatal outcomes, such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), large for gestational age (LGA) fetuses, premature birth, stillbirth, cesarean section, and postpartum hemorrhage, among certain others. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively evaluate the relationship between maternal obesity and health outcomes for both mothers and infants.

Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.

Background: Vinblastine is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for various cancers. We report a case of transient congenital hypothyroidism following maternal exposure to vinblastine during the third trimester of pregnancy and propose possible mechanisms of action.
Method: We utilized the CARE guidelines to report the case.
