A new method to assess fetal head descent in labor with transperineal ultrasound.
TL;DR: To assess the feasibility and reproducibility of measuring fetal head station and descent during labor using transperineal ultrasound (TPU) imaging, to compare the evaluation of fetal station through digital examinations with concurrent TPU assessments, and to assess its utility in distinguishing patients whose pregnancy will result in spontaneous vaginal delivery from those who will require operative vaginal delivery or Cesarean section.

TL;DR: The results suggest that although preterm infants have individualized microbiota that are detectable at birth, the differences decrease during the neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization with increasing prominence of pathogenic microbiota.
A comparison between acoustic output indices in 2D and 3D/4D ultrasound in obstetrics
Eyal Sheiner,R. Hackmon,Ilana Shoham-Vardi,Xavier Pombar,Michael J. Hussey,Howard T. Strassner,Jacques S. Abramowicz +6 more
TL;DR: Comparing the acoustic output, as expressed by thermal index (TI) and mechanical index (MI), of conventional two‐dimensional (2D) and 3D/4D ultrasound during pregnancy is compared.

An Increased Thermal Index Can Be Achieved When Performing Doppler Studies in Obstetric Sonography
Eyal Sheiner,Ilana Shoham-Vardi,Xavier Pombar,Michael J. Hussey,Howard T. Strassner,Jacques S. Abramowicz +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluating acoustic outputs during clinical ultrasound examinations, as expressed by the thermal index (TI) and the mechanical index (MI), during the second half of pregnancy and comparing acoustic outputs between B‐mode and Doppler examinations.

Evaluating rapid diagnostic tests of intra-amniotic infection: Gram stain, amniotic fluid glucose level, and amniotic fluid to serum glucose level ratio
TL;DR: The diagnostic performance levels of these tests were similar when used in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes and in patientswith premature rupture of the membranes, and the combination of Gram stain with amniotic fluid glucose level is superior to any individual test.
