Postoperative Ultrasound as a Predictor of Newborn Function and Ambulation after Open Fetal Myelomeningocele Repair
Conclusion: Lower extremity movement increases between POD 1 and POD 5 in fetuses after open fetal MMC repair. Knee and hip movement on US at 32 weeks correlates with ambulation at 30 –36 months. These data may inform counseling, and direct therapy and spark prospective investigations.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Longitudinal Analysis of Fetal Ventricular Rate for Risk Stratification in Immune Congenital Heart Block
Conclusions: The prognostic classification we developed based on longitudinal heart rate assessment may be used in the late 2nd or early 3rd trimester to identify iCCHB cases at high risk of adverse perinatal outcome. This prognostic stratification should help refine counseling and perinatal management earlier in pregnancy instead of waiting for late gestation or predelivery assessment.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Usefulness of an Intrapartum Ultrasound Simulator (IUSim ™) for Midwife Training: Results from an RCT
Conclusion: The use of a dedicated simulator may facilitate the midwives in learning how to measure the AoP and the HPD on transperineal ultrasound images.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Intra-Amniotic Infection and Sterile Intra-Amniotic Inflammation in Cervical Insufficiency with Prolapsed Fetal Membranes: Clinical Implications
Conclusions: Both phenotypes of intra-amniotic inflammation, with sterile intra-amniotic inflammation being more frequent, are associated with worse outcomes in pregnancies with cervical insufficiency with prolapsed fetal membranes.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Anesthesia-Related Factors Associated with Preterm Labor and Delivery after Open Fetal Surgery
Conclusions: Our findings confirm what has been previously reported regarding the association of nulliparity with preterm delivery. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of maintaining stable perioperative hemodynamics during the intraoperative and postoperative phases of care for patients undergoing in utero surgery.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Impact of the Israeli Ministry of Health Cytomegalovirus Guidelines on the Local Pregnancy Outcome
Conclusion: Implementation of the new MOH guidelines has reduced the rate of pregnancy termination, without increasing the rate of neonatal complications in Israel with a similar outcome of complication rate as reported in the literature.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Alternative Hysterotomy Technique for the Reduction of Prenatal Complications of Intrauterine Myelomeningocele Repair
Conclusions: The alternative hysterotomy technique for fetal surgery of MMC results in low occurrences of CMS, PPROM, preterm delivery, and the rare use of tocolytics.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Open Fetal Surgical Outcomes for Myelomeningocele Closure Stratified by Maternal Body Mass Index in a Large Single-Center Cohort
Conclusion: Increasing maternal BMI did not result in a negative impact on maternal, obstetric, and fetal/neonatal outcomes in a large cohort of patients undergoing open maternal-fetal surgery for fMMC closure. Further study is warranted to determine the generalizability of these results.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)

Surviving Lambs with Myelomeningocele Repaired in utero with Placental Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for 6 Months: A Pilot Study
Conclusion: Postnatal physical therapy and bracing counteracted the inherent morbidity of the absent paraspinal muscles in the ovine MMC model allowing for survival and maintenance of rescued motor function of the prenatally treated lamb up to 6 months.Fetal Diagn Ther (Source: Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy)
