Obstetrical and perinatal outcomes in fetuses with early versus late sonographic diagnosis of short femur length: a single-center, prospective, cohort study

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate obstetrical and perinatal outcomes in fetuses with short femur length diagnosed before or after 24 weeks of gestation. Study Design: This was a prospective cohort study on singleton pregnancies with a diagnosis of fetal femur < 5 centile. Included patients were divided into two groups: patients with a first diagnosis of femur length < 5th percentile at 14-24 weeks (group A) and those with the first diagnosis made at > 24 weeks (group B). Results: 147 patients were included for the analysis.

Outcome of isolated fetal talipes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this systematic review was to explore the outcome of fetuses with a prenatal diagnosis of isolated talipes.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Molecular Analysis and Chromosome Mapping of Repetitive DNAs in the Green Terror Andinoacara rivulatus (Cichlidae: Cichlasomatini)

Neotropical cichlids include hundreds of species whose taxonomy has benefited of molecular phylogeny and whose karyotype evolution has been related to the amount and distribution of different classes of repetitive sequences. This study provides the first integrative molecular (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and 16S sequences) and cytogenetic analyses of wild samples of the green terror Andinoacara rivulatus, a cichlid naturally distributed in Ecuador and spread throughout the world as an aquarium pet.
