Congenital heart disease (CHD) has a prevalence of 8.2 per 1000 live births and is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality.

ISUOG trustee Prof. Asma Khalil and Prof. John Hyett come together for a new episode of the ISUOG podcast, shining a spotlight on the topic of pre-eclampsia.

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is pleased to announce registrations are now open for its 34th World Congress, taking place from September 15-18, 2024, in Budapest. The Congress will bring together ultrasound professionals in obstetrics and gynecology, alongside global leaders in women’s health. Over four days they will explore the latest research, technological advances and clinical applications of ultrasound in women’s health.

Cervical cancer, a malignancy that arises from the cervix, is the fourth most common cancer in women, accounting for an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths worldwide. The most frequent histotypes are HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.

The culmination of a major international collaboration spanning three years has resulted in the publication of an International Consensus Statement on the use of non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis and classification of pelvic deep endometriosis.

Read the joint consensus statement aiming to guide clinicians involved in treating women with suspected endometriosis during patient assessment, counseling and planning of surgical treatment strategies in the UOG Journal.

May is pre-eclampsia awareness month and May the 22nd is world pre-eclampsia awareness day, where we aim to illuminate this condition, thereby improving outcomes and highlighting the need for increased awareness among health professionals, women and families.

The May issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a randomized controlled trial on the effect of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation on fetal ductal constriction, a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the performance of externally validated risk-prediction models for pre-eclampsia, a cohort study delineating the ultrasound features of benign and malignant mesenchymal uterine tumors and a study comparing the performance of different fetal weight charts and definitions of fetal growth restriction in predicting adverse outcome. 

Today, we celebrate International Day of the Midwife, recognizing the invaluable contributions and impact of midwives worldwide in improving women’s health.

Prof. Eik-Nes and Assoc.prof Tegnander discuss the crucial role of midwives in supporting pregnant women and their offspring, emphasizing the growing importance of ultrasound in their practice. Focusing on Norway and South Africa, it highlights similarities in midwifery education programs and highlights the benefits of incorporating ultrasound training in South Africa to address rural populations' needs. This inclusion not only benefits communities but also offers environmental advantages.

Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders caused by abnormal development of the cerebral cortex in utero secondary to genetic, infectious or vascular factors. This VISUOG chapter will focus specifically on Group 2 (Barkovich Classification) malformations, which include lissencephaly, cobblestone malformation, and heterotopia. These conditions all result from abnormal neuronal migration.

One of the latest advancements in ultrasound is the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-assisted ultrasound imaging applications and tools are being developed to aid medical practitioners in their decision-making in gynecology and obstetrics. The goal is to address longstanding challenges in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately supporting and improving maternal and fetal health.

The April issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the diagnostic performance of prenatal ultrasound in coarctation of the aorta, a nationwide cohort study on the outcome of multifetal reduction in quadruplet pregnancy, a study validating the IETA-1 model for intracavitary uterine pathology in women without abnormal uterine bleeding and a summary of the findings of a systematic review on cervical cerclage in twin pregnancy.

VISUOG offers accurate, peer-reviewed, and evidence-based visual chapters covering a range of pregnancy and gynecological conditions. Detailed anatomical visualisations are provided to enhance diagnostic accuracy and understanding of the implications for sonographic screening of vasa previa.

We are thrilled to announce that we have received over 1400 abstracts from 78 countries for our 34th World Congress on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This marks the highest number of abstracts received to date, representing an increase in the total number of abstracts ever and the number of countries participating compared to last year.

As we reach the end of March, drawing near to the end of Endometriosis Awareness Month, ISUOG is excited to present another Spotify episode on the topic, and introduce expert Dr Pietro Bortoletto.

The ISUOG Outreach team has just returned from completing Phase I of the Outreach Program in Kyrgyzstan. What began under unique circumstances, launching Trip 1 back in January of 2022 virtually due to COVID restrictions, has resulted in a successful project, marking a significant milestone in the history of ISUOG Outreach and setting new precedents for the future.  Elated by the success of this recent mission, the ISUOG International Trainers who worked with us on the ground share their experiences and reflections on the journey.
