Prenatal ultrasound detection of fetal amniotic band ingestion in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy: a rare case report

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the formation of fibrous bands within the amniotic sac that can entangle and restrict fetal development, leading to various deformities. In this report, we present an

Nail bed expansion: A new technique for correction of multiple isolated congenital micronychia

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2014
Congenital micronychia may involve big toes or may involve other nails. The etiology of micronychia is not clear but amniotic bands, teratogens (drugs, alcohol), Nail Patella Syndrome etc. A 44-year-old woman with multiple isolated congenital micronychia

Fetal Heart Rate at 12 Weeks' Gestation and the Risk of Preterm Birth

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To prospectively validate the association between fetal heart rate (FHR) at the 12‐week scan and the risk of preterm birth (PTB), including spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Methods This prospective cohort study included 1276 singleton pregnancies undergoing routine first‐trimester screening at 11–13 + 6 weeks' gestation and followed until ...

Prenatal Exome Sequencing Identifies Dual Maternal‐Fetal Diagnosis of HbF Mission Bay, a Novel HBG2 Variant Associated With Methemoglobinemia, Hypoxia and Hemolytic Anemia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,

A Comprehensive Review of the Genetic Etiology and Management of Orofacial Clefts

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP), collectively referred to as orofacial clefts (OFCs), are among the most common birth defects and can have significant effects on speech, nutrition, and physical and psychosocial development. Manifestation, classification, and treatment plans of OFCs are diverse and not standardized.
