Objective: This study was designed to investigate the clinical value of prenatal assessment of cervical length (CL) and placental thickness (PT) in pregnancy outcome and prognosis of pregnant women with placenta previa.

Methods: Eighty pregnant women with placenta previa treated in our hospital were enrolled for prenatal assessment of CL and PT, and were grouped as CL ≤ 30 mm (n=32) and CL > 30 mm (n=48) groups and PT ≥ 10 mm (n=34) and PT < 10 mm (n=46) groups, respectively. The pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were compared in different groups. ROC curve of CL and PT on preterm delivery was drawn, and the diagnostic value of CL and PT in diagnosing preterm delivery was calculated.

Results: The pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of CL ≤ 30 mm group were significantly inferior to those of CL > 30 mm group ( < 0.05). The pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of PT ≥ 10 mm group were also significantly inferior to those of PT < 10 mm group ( < 0.05). PT and CL had good predictive values for preterm delivery ( < 0.05), with high diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.

Conclusion: Prenatal assessment of CL and PT has practical clinical significance for pregnant women with placenta previa, which helps in assessing pregnancy and perinatal outcomes and is worthy of clinical application.

Fetal and neonatal cardiac tumors are rare and often benign. Clinical presentation is primarily related to mass effect, pericardial effusion or arrhythmia. Prenatal detection can assist with risk assessment and inform optimal delivery plan and postnatal management.

Large-scale evaluation of outcomes after a genetic diagnosis in children with severe developmental disorders.

Genet Med Open

October 2024

Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, Medical School, University of Exeter, St Luke's Campus, Exeter, United Kingdom.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate outcomes for clinical management after a genetic diagnosis from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study.

Methods: Individuals in the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study who had a pathogenic/likely pathogenic genotype in the DECIPHER database were selected for inclusion ( = 5010). Clinical notes from regional clinical genetics services notes were reviewed to assess predefined clinical outcomes relating to interventions, prenatal choices, and information provision.

Children born to mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) are at increased risk of maltreatment and out-of-home care (OOHC) placement. This study examines the parent-child interaction quality and home environments of 92 New Zealand children with prenatal opioid exposure (OE) and 106 non-opioid-exposed (NE) children. Experiences for those in maternal care versus OOHC were of particular interest.
