The October issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a prospective longitudinal study investigating anthropometric and cardiovascular parameter trajectories across 12 months postpartum in women at high risk for pre-eclampsia (PE), a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial evaluating risk factors for PE in high-risk women receiving low-dose aspirin prophylaxis, an observational study assessing the accuracy of gestational-age estimation using an artificial intelligence system applied to non-targeted ultrasound sweeps, and a retrospective observational study investigating the potential for radiomics features to distinguish between high-grade and low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma and whether their incorporation into machine-learning models can provide additional discriminatory value over models based on conventional ultrasound.

The September issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the maternal and perinatal outcomes in cases of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy that received hemodynamics-guided treatment, a retrospective cohort study evaluating the ability of the umbilical artery Doppler-based classification system for selective fetal growth restriction to predict adverse outcomes in affected monochorionic twin pregnancies, a longitudinal cohort study assessing lung growth patterns in cases of left- and right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia over a 6-week period following fetoscopic endoluminal tract occlusion and a retrospective cohort study evaluating the coexistence of polycystic ovarian morphology and endometriosis among patients at a tertiary gynecological ultrasound clinic.

The August issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating fetal cardiac function in growth-restricted fetuses using left and right myocardial performance indices, a prospective study examining the incidence and predictors of hypertension at 5 months postpartum in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus, an evaluation of whether the ratio of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 to placental growth factor is associated with hemodynamic changes in ophthalmic artery Doppler in near-term pregnancy and a prospective study externally validating the diagnostic performance of ADNEX model for distinguishing between malignant and benign adnexal masses when used by non-expert ultrasound examiners in general gynecological settings.

The July issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology is a Special Issue on Congenital Heart disease, produced in collaboration with ISUOG’s ongoing global initiative, Every Little Heart Matters, and curated by UOG Editors Prof. Anita Moon-Grady and Dr Taisto Sarkola. This issue includes an evaluation of the Danish prenatal screening program for detection and outcomes of major fetal CHDs, an assessment of the risk of minor CHD in infants conceived via assisted reproductive technology, a registry based case–cohort study investigating outcome of fetal cardiac intervention in hydropic fetuses with CHD and a How To article from the Fetal Heart Society on assessment of ventricular function by fetal echocardiography.

The June issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review evaluating perinatal outcomes following intrauterine transfusion for fetal anemia secondary to fetal or placental tumor, a 7-year national cohort study reporting national epidemiological data on maternal cytomegalovirus infection during pregnancy in France and the impact of evolving screening and management practices, a prospective study assessing the predictive performance of the Fetal Medicine Foundation first-trimester screening algorithm for pre-eclampsia in pregnancies conceived by assisted reproductive technology, after ovulation induction or through spontaneous conception, and a prospective multicenter study reporting primary results of the CANNES trial comparing the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, positron-emission tomography/computed tomography and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for preoperative pelvic lymph node assessment in cervical cancer patients.
