To investigate whether early nuchal translucency measurement at 7+0 to 9+0 weeks (NT7-9w) is feasible, obtain normal values for different crown-rump lengths (CRL) in the above weeks and create percentile tables. ⋯ According to the literature, this is the first attempt to measure NT in such weeks of pregnancy. NT measurement as early as 7+0 to 9+0 is feasible and normal values can be created and correlated with CRL measurements. HIPPOKRATIA 2021, 25 (4):151-155.

Cannabis is the most widespread illicit drug among young adults globally. This study aimed to detect the extent of cannabis use in the study population and its impact on users' lives. We hypothesized that early cannabis use would significantly predict later high-risk use. ⋯ As the legislation on the use of cannabis changes rapidly, and given the increasing popularity of cannabis, there is a need for continued research on how various factors differentially impact its use.

Smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMPs) are infrequent and represent an extremely rare cause of oligohydramnios in pregnant women. ⋯ This is the only reported case of a pregnant woman with STUMPs of this size that underwent myomectomy during the cesarean section and avoided hysterectomy.

A floating thrombus in the ascending aorta is a rare finding that may cause multiple ischemic strokes with catastrophic consequences. The treatment algorithm for such lesions is yet to be defined. ⋯ An anticoagulation treatment strategy may be feasible, safe, and effective in patients with large mobile thrombus in the aorta who are not eligible for thrombectomy.
