Funisitis Increases the Risk of Death or Cerebral Palsy in Extremely Preterm Infants https://t.co/wLnGCpHYWf

Proud to be part of the team! 🥰

🧵1/4 Doctors @OUHospitals are better prepared to identify those at increased risk of PTB following a cervical length scan pilot basic training day with 46 pregnant volunteers

First AJOG MFM Fellow Journal Club!!

We are about to open the ABOVE trial @uclh @UCL_IfWH to find out which type of cerclage (stitch) in the cervix is better at preventing recurrent preterm birth in women who have had a previous caesarean section in labour @tommys @OBSevidence Please RT https://t.co/G9uxTR0DlI

New study @UCLH @UCLHresearch Preterm Birth clinic shows 3D advanced labour stage Caesarean Birth (CB) scar sonographic features are highly reproducible in pregnancy. This validated protocol supports research on the link between CB scars & #pretermbirth https://t.co/S7wm6FzLUK

275 women died in the UK during pregnancy or up to six weeks after the end of pregnancy in 2020-2022 from causes related to or exacerbated by pregnancy among 2,028,543 women giving birth, a maternal mortality rate of 13.56 per 100,000 https://t.co/fFx5yHMOyk

Excited to have presented our research @UCL_IfWH on postnatal caesarean scar ultrasound assessment at @ISUOG World Congress 2024! Caesarean scar niches are iatrogenic complications that can impact on #WomensHealth @PrenatalTherapy @RaffNapolitano

Professor Lees presenting the real world application of many years of research on IUGR/SGA and timing of birth. Check out the new RCOG guideline. https://t.co/4P8L4XbX5x #trufflestudy

UCL experts, led by Professor Anna David @PrenatalTherapy @UCL_IfWH, have teamed up with pregnancy charity @tommys to launch the UK’s first centre for preterm birth research, which will aim to reduce the number of babies born prematurely across the country https://t.co/33z2MaQzr8

Prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in women with previous full dilatation cesarean delivery. C-section scar distance from the internal os predicts sPTB risk https://t.co/ReDkw5L0Hv @ucl @UCL_IfWH @uclh @UCLHresearch @RaffNapolitano @OBSevidence @crustymcrusty @ajogmfm

“Children with… open fractures, partial amputations, open chest wounds, horrendous lacerations… and burns. And that was every day.” Dr Deborah Harrington recently spent 2 weeks in a Gaza hospital. “I feel ashamed and shocked that we’re doing this to fellow humans,” she told me.

Study finds about 40% of infants exposed to early antenatal corticosteroids were born at term, with associated adverse outcomes, highlighting the need for caution when considering antenatal corticosteroids. Includes a visual abstract #BMJInfographic https://t.co/26HxkKEyDJ

Excited to discuss our research work findings @UCL_IfWH on full dilatation #caesarean section scars and risk of subsequent #preterm birth at the 20th FMF World Congress! @PrenatalTherapy @RaffNapolitano @davidecasagrand @uclh @OUH_Fetal

So nice to be back at F2F meetings. Attending 20th World Congress in Fetal Medicine with @drMariaIvan & @eurofoetus & @UCLH FMU @UCL_IfWH MFM teams + delegates from all over the world #fetalmedicinefoundation Thank you Kypros 😊

Congratulations to Maria Ivan for winning the Obstetric prize at OXSFOGS meeting @Ox_wrh for her PhD work @UCL_IfWH showing that TV USS imaging of the Caesarean section scar in pregnancy can predict the risk of developing a short cervix & #pretermbirth @RaffNapolitano @ucl @uclh
