Feasibility of Imaging the Uvula at the Midtrimester Anomaly Ultrasound
Objectives The fetal palate is not routinely imaged as part of the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound, despite being associated with many syndromes. The “equal sign” depicts the lateral borders of the uvula on 2‐dimensional fetal ultrasound. We assessed the feasibility of adding the equal sign to the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound.

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

Objectives Accurate nuchal translucency (NT) measurement for assessing the risk of fetal genetic abnormalities requires precise acquisition of the mid‐sagittal plane (MSP). However, achieving an appropriate MSP is technically challenging due to anatomical variability and operator dependence inherent in conventional 2‐dimensional (2D) ultrasound.

ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.
