Contraceptive uptake and compliance after structured contraceptive counseling ‐ secondary outcomes of the LOWE trial
ConclusionsThe LOWE trial intervention resulted in increased LARC use also at 12  months. Strategies on how to sustain LARC use needs to be further investigated. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Preterm birth and subsequent intelligence and academic performance in youth: A cohort study
ConclusionsLow gestational age at birth was associated with not graduating from LSE and USE, achieving lower GPAs in LSE, not attending conscription, and lower intelligence scores in young adulthood. The findings remained significant after adjusting for potential confounders. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Accessory cavitated uterine malformation (ACUM): A scoping review
ConclusionsDespite its increasing recognition as a clinical entity, ACUM often remains underdiagnosed as it shares similarities with other myometrial masses. We propose a unified terminology and definition for ACUM based on the data in this review. ACUM presents as a cavitated lesion, surrounded by a myometrial mantle, in continuity with the anterolateral uterine wall and located beneath the insertion of the round ligament and the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube. In contrast to other uterine abnormalities, a normal uterine cavity is visualized. Future studies are needed, using a clear definition for ACUM, and pr...

Fetal indusium griseum is a possible biomarker of the regularity of brain midline development in 3T MR imaging: A  retrospective observational study
ConclusionsThe knowledge of developmental brain histology and fetal age allows us to predict the IG-visibility in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and use it as a biomarker to evaluate the morphogenesis of the brain midline. As a biomarker, IG is significant for post-mortem pathological examination by MRI. Therefore, in the clinical in  vivo imaging examination, IG should be anticipated when an assessment of the brain midline structures is needed in mid-gestation, including corpus callosum thickness measurements.

Results of an international survey on the current organization of care for pregnant women with cancer
This research describes the outcomes of a survey distributed to physicians all over the world focusing on clinical experience with pregnant women with cancer, the organization of care and current gaps in knowledge. We included 249 responses from physicians working across 36 countries. Responses demonstrate a wide variation in the organization of care – generally lacking centralization, and the physicians’ acknowledgement of insufficient knowledge on the management of pregnant women with cancer. AbstractThe global incidence of cancer is increasing, including its incidence in women of reproductive age. Still, physicians ...
