With just over 2 weeks to go until the ISUOG education course 'Urogynecology and pelvic floor ultrasound', we wanted to remind you that there is still time to register! Join us on 6 July onsite in London, UK or via live stream for a one day problem-based overview of transperineal ultrasound. Recordings from the course will be available to all course delegates for one month after the course to re-watch.

Last week in Beijing at the 'ISUOG China Symposium - 8th Prenatal Ultrasound Diagnosis of Fetal Birth Defects and Counseling’, members of the ISUOG international faculty and China Task Force worked together to develop education in ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. Over 500 delegates attended this ISUOG approved course, with 300 delegates joining us on 13 June for the ISUOG Basic Training course.

On Thursday 24th October 2019, the ISUOG Basic Training Course will be delivered as a pre-congress course at SASUOG’s International Congress & Exhibition on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Johannesburg, South Africa. This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the ultrasound examination and is the first ISUOG BT course to be delivered on the African continent! You can register now to join the course onsite in Johannesburg. Alternatively, if you'd like to attend via livestream, host a satellite or register your interest for individual live stream

Read this month's newsletter for a special message from Katia Bilardo (ISUOG President), Rabih Chaoui and Kurt Hecher (ISUOG2019 World Congress Chairs), and Laurent Salomon (ISUOG Scientific Committee Chair) on what to expect from our 2019 World Congress scientific program. Furthermore, you can check out the highlights from this month's UOG issue, which include a new ISUOG guideline on ultrasound assessment of fetal biometry and growth, a Systematic Review on cell-free DNA analysis for trisomy screening in twins, and a Consortium Report on the proceedings of the First Annual Meeting of the International Fetoscopic Myelomeningocele Repair Consortium.

Watch the new video abstract on the performance of cell-free DNA screening in twin pregnancies from a UOG Journal study and meta-analysis by Dr. Gil & colleagues from Prof. Nicolaides group.

The performance of cfDNA testing for trisomy 21 in twin pregnancy is similar to that reported in singleton pregnancy and is superior to that of the first-trimester combined test or second-trimester biochemical testing.
