Objective: To determine the prenatal detection rate (PDR) of congenital heart disease (CHD) in Arizona as well as describe various factors that may influence detection rates.
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and Phoenix Children's Fetal Cardiology databases. We included all cases of CHD requiring surgery <1 year of age between 2013 and 2018. A total of 1137 patients met the criteria, and various demographic, socioeconomic, and patient outcome data were collected.
Results: The overall PDR was 58% with an improving detection rate over the course of our study, with the final year having a PDR of 67%. Over time, PDR improved in urban communities, but this was not seen in rural communities. Rural address, public insurance, and Native American ethnicity were associated with lower PDR. Postnatal outcomes, including Apgars, initial pH, and lactate, did not differ with the presence of a prenatal diagnosis. Diagnoses typically identified with the outflow tract and 3-vessel views on the fetal echocardiogram were less likely to be detected prenatally.
Conclusions: The PDR of CHD continues to improve with evolving technologies and guidelines. We highlight a discrepancy between urban, rural, and Native American populations. Additionally, by supplying descriptors of missed diagnosis and associated echocardiography views, we hope to provide data for future interventions.

Purpose: To study the platelet adhesion and aggregation behaviour of late pregnancy women under arterial shear rate using microfluidic chip technology and evaluate the risk of thrombosis in late pregnancy.
Methods: We included pregnant women who were registered in the obstetrics department of our hospital between January 2021 and October 2022 and underwent regular prenatal examinations. Blood samples were collected at 32-35 weeks of gestation for routine blood tests and progesterone, oestradiol, and platelet aggregation function.

Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, Joe C. Wen School of Population and Public Health, University of California, Irvine, California.
Background: Few studies have investigated associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and childhood cancers. Detectable levels of PFAS in California water districts were reported in the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule for 2013-2015.
Methods: Geocoded residences at birth were linked to corresponding water district boundaries for 10,220 California-born children (aged 0-15 years) diagnosed with cancers (2000-2015) and 29,974 healthy controls.
Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) for monogenic nephropathy: a single-center retrospective cohort analysis.

Background: Hereditary nephropathy is an important cause of renal insufficiency and end-stage renal disease. Therefore, for couples with monogenic nephropathy, preventing transmission of the disease to offspring is urgent. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) is a means to prevent intergenerational inheritance by screening and transplanting normal embryos.
