Liver metastases from Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers present significant challenges in oncology, often signaling poor prognosis. Traditional detection methods like imaging and tissue biopsies have limitations in sensitivity, specificity, and tumor heterogeneity represen-tation. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, driven by advancements in ma-chine learning, algorithms, and data science, offers a promising frontier for early detection and management of liver metastases.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of combining intrapartum ultrasound with free maternal positions in managing abnormal labor, specifically focusing on its impact on delivery outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 176 cases of abnormal labor progression in women who attempted vaginal delivery at our hospital from June 2021 to May 2022. Among these, 88 cases were diagnosed with abnormal fetal positions using a combination of intrapartum ultrasound and vaginal examination, and these patients were guided to adopt free maternal positions (experimental group).

The discovery of circulating fetal and tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) molecules in plasma has opened up tremendous opportunities in noninvasive diagnostics such as the detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and cancers and in posttransplantation monitoring. The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies makes it possible to scrutinize the characteristics of cfDNA molecules, opening up the fields of cfDNA genetics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, and fragmentomics, providing a plethora of biomarkers. Machine learning (ML) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that are known for their ability to integrate high-dimensional features have recently been applied to the field of liquid biopsy.

Background: In France, legislation concerning pregnancy monitoring only considers screening for Down syndrome (T21), while the contingent introduction of the circulating cell free DNA test (DPNI) also allows screening for trisomies 13 and 18 with similar performances.
Methods: We retrospectively studied more than 800,000 patients among whom 7971 presented serum markers suggestive of T18 (but without increased risk of T21), of which 438 benefited from NIPT and of a complete pregnancy follow-up.
Results: We show that the use of a specific risk calculation for T18 would have improve the relevance of the prescription.

To evaluate the value of increasing sequencing depths of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies based on the semiconductor sequencing platform. This study recruited a cohort of 59,800 singleton pregnancies from Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between January 2015 and December 2020, including 48,018 cases of NIPT and 11,782 cases of expanded NIPT. Cell-free DNA from plasma samples was sequenced at a sequencing depth of 0.
