The right question is : how many fetus do we lose because of amniocenteses in this low-low-risk population ? I think we lose more healthy fetus than we find out trisomies 21. I'm worry about that. In my opinion, after nuchal translucency and serum screening the genetic sonogram is a very dangerous tool for baby and mother. -- Bien tropicalement, Dr J-M BRIDERON (MD) Gyn-Obs ECHOLIST : liste de diffusion sur l'echographie gyn-obs http://www.gyneweb.fr/echolist.htm Next message: Patrizia: "risk for down syndrome" Previous message: Philippe Coquel: "Thanksgiving" In reply to: Philippe Coquel: "Re: Nasal bones: images"

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.
