Comparative StudyFetal lung volume and quantification of liver herniation by magnetic resonance imaging in isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
To determine associations between fetal lung and liver herniation volumes measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mortality/need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cases of isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). A secondary objective was to compare prenatal MRI parameters with two-dimensional ultrasound lung measurements. ⋯ Mortality and the need for ECMO in neonates with isolated CDH can be best predicted using a combination of MRI o/e-TLV and %LH.

Observational StudyUse of intrapartum ultrasound in the prediction of complicated operative forceps delivery of fetuses in non-occiput posterior position.
To evaluate the hypothesis that intrapartum ultrasound (ITU) measurements, including the angle of progression (AOP), progression distance (PD) and head direction (HD), can predict complicated forceps delivery in non-occiput posterior deliveries. ⋯ The sonographic parameters AOP and HD can be used to predict complicated operative forceps delivery in fetuses in non-occiput posterior position.
