UOG videoclip: Management of fetal cardiac resuscitation during fetal cardiac intervention
New UOG videoclip on the management of fetal cardiac resuscitation during cardiac intervention with ultrasound-guided fetal cardiac compressions.
September 2024 UOG Highlights
The September issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on maternal prepregnancy weight as an independent risk factor for congenital heart defect, a prospective study of cardiovascular adaptation in women with previous pregnancy complicated by a hypertensive disorder, an analysis of the discriminative performance of the ADNEX model and IOTA two-step strategy for adnexal masses in a low-risk population and a study assessing postnatal outcome following fetal aortic valvuloplasty for critical aortic stenosis.
UOG videoclip: Fetal left ventricular giant aneurysm: three-dimensional virtual and printed models
New UOG videoclip demonstrating the three-dimensional virtual and printed models that assisted the management of a case of fetal left ventricular giant aneurysm.
UOG videoclip: 'Red eye' in main pulmonary artery: new sonographic sign for diagnosing aortopulmonary window
New UOG videoclip on the early prenatal diagnosis of aortopulmonary window, seen as turbulent flow in the middle of the right ventricular outflow tract (‘red eye sign’).
July 2024 UOG Highlights
The July issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the detection of non-cardiac fetal anomalies at the 11–14-week scan, a study proposing an artificial intelligence model for detection of coarctation of the aorta, a longitudinal analysis of levator ani muscle avulsion after vaginal delivery and a study of cardiovascular function in children from hypertensive pregnancy.
Exploring the Fetal Heart at ISUOG Fetal Cardiology Conference
Congenital heart disease (CHD) has a prevalence of 8.2 per 1000 live births and is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality.
UOG videoclip: Giant left atrial appendage: fetal detection and neonatal surgical resection
New UOG videoclip on the ultrasonographic features and postnatal management of a giant aneurysm of the left atrial appendage.
Fetal Anomalies: Brain and Heart
Discover the latest research on screening and diagnosis of Fetal Anomalies: Brain and Heart at ISUOG2024.
May 2024 UOG Highlights
The May issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a randomized controlled trial on the effect of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation on fetal ductal constriction, a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the performance of externally validated risk-prediction models for pre-eclampsia, a cohort study delineating the ultrasound features of benign and malignant mesenchymal uterine tumors and a study comparing the performance of different fetal weight charts and definitions of fetal growth restriction in predicting adverse outcome.
AI's Potential to Improve Fetal Cardiology
One of the latest advancements in ultrasound is the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-assisted ultrasound imaging applications and tools are being developed to aid medical practitioners in their decision-making in gynecology and obstetrics. The goal is to address longstanding challenges in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately supporting and improving maternal and fetal health.
