Objective: To assess the accuracy and readability of social media content on pediatric ankyloglossia and other oral ties.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cross-sectional study, the top 200 posts on an image-based social media platform tagged with #tonguetie, #liptie, or #buccaltie were collected using a de novo account on March 27, 2023.
A prospective blinded diagnostic accuracy study to assess the accuracy of fetal weight estimation at term by clinical method using Leopold's maneuvers and ultrasonography in predicting the actual birth weight.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Context: Over-medicalization of normal pregnancy is associated with unnecessary inductions of labor leading to operative deliveries. In a busy outpatient department (OPD) or low-resource setup where ultrasound availability, experience, and cost will be a concern, routine ultrasound at term can be avoided if the clinical estimation of fetal weight is more or less equal to the actual birth weight.
Aims: To assess the reliability and validity of fetal weight estimation at term by ultrasound and clinical estimation.
