OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that caffeine would be associated with a transient reduction in the right-to-left shunt and VA /Q. We aimed to explore the temporal effects of caffeine on right-to-left shunt, ventilation perfusion ratio (VA /Q) and shift of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) in premature ventilated infants. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study at a tertiary neonatal unit of infants born at less than 31 weeks of gestation that were mechanically ventilated on day three of life...

Prenatal Exome (pES) or Genome (pGS) Sequencing analysis showed a significant incremental diagnostic yield over karyotype and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in fetal structural anomalies. Optimized indications and detection rates in different fetal anomalies are still under investigation. The aim of this study was to assess the incremental diagnostic yield in prenatally diagnosed Central Nervous System (CNS) anomalies. A systematic review on antenatal CNS anomalies was performed according to PRISMA guidelines, including n = 12 paper, accounting for 428 fetuses...

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the reasons for refusal of aneuploidy screening in a multicultural Middle Eastern population. METHODS: The study included patients delivering in a university hospital, who had refused aneuploidy screening during their pregnancy. We evaluated through a questionnaire submitted during the postpartum period the sociodemographic characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, and the main reason underpinning their choice. Religious, ethical, and financial factors, personal beliefs, medical information, perceived media information, and familial input were assessed through a Likert scale...

OBJECTIVE: We present incidental detection of familial 8p23.2 microduplication encompassing CSMD1 associated with mosaic 46,XY,t(7;8)(q31.2;p23.1)/46,XY at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with no apparent phenotypic abnormality and a favorable outcome. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, phenotypically normal woman underwent amniocentesis at 19 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age.

OBJECTIVE: Kleefstra syndrome (KS), formerly known as 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome, is characterized by multiple structural abnormalities. However, most fetuses do not have obvious abnormal phenotypes. In this study, the fetus with KS presented with multiple system structural anomalies, and we aimed to explore the genotype-phenotype correlations of KS fetuses. CASE REPORT: Multiple systematic structural anomalies, including severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and cardiac defects, were detected by ultrasound in the fetus at 33 + 5 weeks' gestation...

OBJECTIVE: Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital abnormalities, and usually asymptomatic until adulthood. We present a fetus prenatally diagnosed with a bronchogenic cyst, experiencing compression symptoms immediately after birth and underwent thoracoscopic surgery at 14 days old. CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old primigravida had a suspicion of fetal tracheal cyst. Prenatal ultrasound scan revealed a cyst near the trachea at 23 weeks' gestation. Fetal MRI defined a cystic lesion in the upper mediastinum, displacing surrounding vessels...

PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate the application value of the atrial septum excursion index (ASEI) in fetuses with isolated restrictive foramen ovale (RFO) or redundant foramen ovale flap (RFOF) and the outcomes of these fetuses. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. Healthy pregnant women who were examined by antenatal fetal echocardiography from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital were enrolled. One hundred seventy-seven (177) fetuses were categorized into three groups by diagnosis: (1) RFOF (n = 33), (2) RFO (n = 21), and (3) normal (n = 123)...

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), involving mainly the right ventricle, is a rare form of congenital heart disorder characterized by a developmental arrest in myocardial compaction, resulting in a spongy appearance of the myocardium, mainly of the right ventricle, rarely detected in fetuses. We report the case of a female fetus with a gestational age of 41+4 weeks who came to our attention for intrapartum sudden unexpected death, resulting in stillbirth. The ventricular walls, particularly the right ventricular wall, appeared thick, hypertrabeculated and spongy, leading to the diagnosis of LVNC involving mainly the right ventricle...

INTRODUCTION: Hyaluronan (HA) is a major component of the extracellular matrix. Increased pulmonary HA concentrations are associated with several respiratory disorders and is a pathophysiological feature of lung disease. We investigated whether elevated urine HA is a biomarker of an unfavorable 40-week respiratory outcome in preterm infants. METHODS: Infants comprised a cohort of preterm neonates <31 weeks gestational age (GA) from the Prematurity-Related Ventilatory Control (Pre-Vent) multicenter study...

Endoscopes navigate within the human body to observe anatomical structures with minimal invasiveness. A major shortcoming of their use is their narrow field-of-view during navigation in large, hollow anatomical regions. Mosaics of endoscopic images can provide surgeons with a map of the tool's environment. This would facilitate procedures, improve their efficiency, and potentially generate better patient outcomes. The emergence of magnetically steered endoscopes opens the way to safer procedures and creates an opportunity to provide robotic assistance both in the generation of the mosaic map and in navigation within this map...

BACKGROUND: Poor outcomes from operative vaginal birth (OVB) have been associated with failure to recognize malposition, breakdown in interdisciplinary communication and deviation from accepted guidelines. We recently implemented a safety bundle, including routine intrapartum ultrasound (IPUS), a structured time-out and procedural checklist, aiming to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity from OVB. OBJECTIVES: To compare births where IPUS was and was not used during the safety bundle implementation period at Monash Health...

Acne vulgaris is a common condition that routinely affects females of childbearing age. Taking into consideration the reproductive journey of women when treating acne is of paramount importance given the safety concerns to both the mother and the fetus associated with certain medications. Therefore, careful consideration of therapeutic choices during pregnancy is crucial. Herein, we summarize the safety of acne treatments during pregnancy and offer practical clinical pearls for routine dermatology practice.

The present article concentrates on an innovative analysis that was performed to assess the development of the femur in human fetuses using artificial intelligence. As a prerequisite, linear dimensions, cross-sectional surface areas and volumes of the femoral shaft primary ossification center in 47 human fetuses aged 17-30 weeks, originating from spontaneous miscarriages and preterm deliveries, were evaluated with the use of advanced imaging techniques such as computed tomography and digital image analysis...
