Check out the latest issue of US in OB/Gyn: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jws/uog/2006/00000027/00000006 The thing I find most intriguing is the terrific tying together of the heart and nuchal lucency observations in Down Syndrome: Devore has seen a large right atrium in about 85 percent of Down Syndrome babies (pers comm). Now Falcon & al from nicolaides group finds TR in half the 10 to 13 week fetuses with Down Syndrome and correlates this finding with nuchal lucency in normal fetuses. The last finding diluted the power of the early fetal echo to independently detect Down syndrome, but it goes a long way to putting things together in the findings with this entity. Jim -- James S.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
