The December issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes an observational cohort study assessing the neurodevelopmental outcomes of uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic twins, a systematic review evaluating the use of twin vs singleton growth charts for identifying small-for-gestational-age fetuses at risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, a study investigating the performance of non-invasive prenatal testing in vanishing-twin and multiple pregnancies, and a prospective cohort study examining the prevalence of LAM avulsion after forceps-assisted and vacuum-assisted deliveries.
December is International Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) Awareness Month - a time to recognise a life-threatening complication that affects 9-15% of monochorionic pregnancies.

ISUOG Women's Health Ultrasound Artificial Intelligence strategy
In light of the recent concerns, highlighted in a news piece by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), in relation to the existence and role of private baby scan clinics, the Safety Committee of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is taking this opportunity to state the Society’s position on the non-diagnostic use of ultrasound in obstetrics performed by non-trained practitioners.
This document provides recommendations regarding the appropriate use of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) in various clinical scenarios encountered by different healthcare professionals (e.g. emergency physicians, obstetrician-gynecologists, midwives, residents and family physicians). The target population consists of patients with Ob/Gyn complications or those needing an interventional procedure for which an immediate bedside sonographic evaluation is helpful.
