Our latest episode in the podcast series, presented by NGEN members, dives into a topic that isn’t often discussed—pediatric and adolescent gynecology.

The September issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on maternal prepregnancy weight as an independent risk factor for congenital heart defect, a prospective study of cardiovascular adaptation in women with previous pregnancy complicated by a hypertensive disorder, an analysis of the discriminative performance of the ADNEX model and IOTA two-step strategy for adnexal masses in a low-risk population and a study assessing postnatal outcome following fetal aortic valvuloplasty for critical aortic stenosis.

This autumn, ISUOG (International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology) will host a series of webinars in various languages aimed at engaging healthcare professionals involved in ultrasound who speak Portuguese, French, and/or Spanish.

The August issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the role of ultrasound in the detection of lymph-node metastasis in gynecological cancer, a study on the influence of ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation on adverse pregnancy outcomes, a prospective analysis of the screening performance of increased nuchal translucency before 11 weeks’ gestation for adverse pregnancy outcome and a study investigating the need for individualization of levator–urethra gap measurement for diagnosis of levator avulsion.

The June issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the trimester-specific diagnostic performance of ultrasound in placenta accreta spectrum, a neuroimaging study investigating brain injury in pregnancies with twin–twin transfusion syndrome, a longitudinal evaluation of cervical stiffness in women who undergo spontaneous preterm delivery and a study comparing the characteristics of ovarian and tubal ectopic pregnancies.

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.

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. 

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.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with more than 660,000 new cases and nearly 350,000 deaths reported in 2022 alone¹.

The March issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review evaluating the yield of prenatal exome sequencing in agenesis of the corpus callosum, a study comparing singleton and twin growth charts in the prediction of neonatal morbidity in twin pregnancy, a prospective study updating the M6 risk-prediction model in pregnancy of unknown location and an analysis of a new machine-learning model for predicting first-trimester pre-eclampsia in a Latin American population.

The February issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review evaluating adverse perinatal outcome in dichorionic twin pregnancy complicated by selective fetal growth restriction, a study deriving chorionicity-specific reference ranges for fetal growth in twin pregnancy, an analysis of emergency Cesarean delivery in placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum and an evaluation of the diagnostic test accuracy of a standardized transvaginal examination for deep endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments and torus uterinus.

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 clinical decision-making and diagnostic accuracy of Saplingitis and Uterine Fibroids.

The January issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review exploring the value of whole-genome sequencing in the diagnosis of congenital anomalies, a randomized controlled trial investigating the utility of visual biofeedback during the second stage of labor in facilitating maternal pushing, a study on the diagnosis of superficial endometriosis using transvaginal ultrasound, and a study demonstrating the potential of deep learning in improving fetal heart screening. This issue also features the new ISUOG Practice Guidelines on the performance of third-trimester obstetric ultrasound scan.

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (UOG) is the leading peer-reviewed journal in its field with an impact factor of 7.1. Published monthly, it includes research articles, systematic reviews, guidelines and expert perspectives. You can read the January issue for FREE until the end of January.

Upper Egypt is historically one of the most disadvantaged areas in the country. For a week in November, the ISUOG Outreach team was privileged to work on a training program with 21 medical practitioners from Egypt. The ultimate aim of the program was to improve women’s healthcare in the local community.

The December issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review collating the current evidence on prenatal diagnosis and perinatal outcome of congenital knee dislocation, a multicenter study proposing a new model for prediction of adverse outcome in extremely preterm growth-restricted fetuses requiring early delivery, a large regional study evaluating the role of SARS-CoV-2 infection as a cause of fetal death, a study assessing the impact of choroid plexus size in cases with an abnormal closure of the fourth ventricle, and a prospective study demonstrating the potential of photoacoustic imaging in improving O-RADS risk assessment of adnexal lesions. Also in the issue, we celebrate the award winners announced at the 33rd World Congress on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology and thank all contributors to the Journal’s peer-review process in 2023.

VISUOG is a comprehensive visual encyclopedia for ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology. Detailed anatomical visualisations, case studies and expert commentary have collectively contributed to enhancing clinical decision-making and diagnostic accuracy.
