New UOG Journal videoclip on the role of ultrasound and genetic counselling in fetal hemangiomatosis related to PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome.

The April issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating perinatal and maternal outcomes of extremely early-onset fetal growth restriction, a prospective multicenter cohort study assessing single-cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing for detecting fetal pathogenic microimbalances, a retrospective cohort study investigating the predictive value of gB2-specific antibodies for maternal–fetal transmission following primary cytomegalovirus infection treated with valacyclovir, and a multicenter case–control study developing a radiomics-based ultrasound model for differentiating uterine sarcomas from leiomyomas.

New UOG Journal videoclip on the usefulness of 3D ultrasound in delineating the central nervous system anatomy of craniopagus twins from the first trimester of gestation.

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.

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.

Read the new ISUOG Practice Guidelines on the use of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in obstetrics and gynecology in various clinical scenarios that may be encountered by different healthcare professionals.

New UOG Journal videoclip on the prenatal assessment and treatment of obstructive fetal hydrocephalus: are there new perspectives?

The July issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a cohort study on determining the optimal sonographic dating approach in twin pregnancies beyond the first trimester, an assessment of the effect of interpregnancy interval on the odds of tubal ectopic pregnancy recurrence after expectant or surgical management, an investigation on the impact of aspirin administration on the incidence of preterm birth and an international multicenter cohort study evaluating fetal and neonatal outcomes in cases of monochorionic diamniotic twins with selective fetal growth restriction and either continuous or intermittent absent or reversed end-diastolic umbilical artery flow.

The June issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review presenting the differences in indications for fetal echocardiography between guidelines and consensuses of experts, a study evaluating the assessment of risk for pre-eclampsia at mid-gestation, a study assessing maternal stress and fetoplacental cortisol regulation in small-for-gestational-age pregnancy, and a nationwide study in the USA reporting on the racial and ethnic disparities in obstetric anal sphincter injury.

The March issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review evaluating the applications of artificial intelligence to ultrasound imaging for benign gynecological disorders, a study reporting the predictive performance of angiogenic factors alone or in combination with ultrasound Doppler criteria for adverse perinatal outcome, a study on the association of maternal body mass index with hemodynamic and vascular alterations at 35–37 weeks' gestation, and a cross-sectional study assessing the impact of deep or ovarian endometriosis on pelvic pain and quality of life.
