How to facilitate ultrasound examination of the fetal heart: the 5‐4‐3‐2‐1 method
ABSTRACT We propose a new standardized, systematic method of fetal cardiac screening, the step‐by‐step ‘5‐4‐3‐2‐1’ method. This method is based on understanding the cardiac structures through a process of navigating between the different recommended views during an abdominothoracic sweep, following a user‐friendly checklist to identify the main ...

Molar incisor hypomineralisation: current knowledge and practice
Background Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Areas of poorly formed enamel affect one or more first permanent molars and can cause opacities on the anterior teeth. MIH presents a variety of challenges for the dental team as well as functional and social impacts for affected ...

Non-invasive prenatal screening using cell-free fetal DNA : how good a screening assay is this ?
Prenatal diagnosis provides expectant mothers with important information which may affect subsequent pregnancy management. Karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) following chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis are the gold

ABSTRACT Objectives To quantify the discrepancy between anatomical and motor levels in foetuses with open spinal dysraphism and identify prenatal factors associated with this difference. We also examined associations between anatomical level and ultrasound findings. Design Retrospective observational study.
