Re: nuchal translucency From: DuBose, Terry (DuboseTerryJ@exchange.uams.edu) Mon Aug 3 16:38:01 1998 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Mary Shoup: "This Week In Chat" Previous message: James S Smeltzer MD: "Re: nuchal translucency" There is an interesting series of articles in the current White journal (US in OBGYN), June, 1998. There are actually 3 articles, and an editorial. One of the articles follows-up on children with 10-14 week Nuchal transucencies, with follow-up out to 7-75 months age. However, the Editorial does have a few criticisms of the articles, particularly the lack of consistent methodology and protocol, gives good references. Perhaps it is time for some one to do a literature review for publication on the OBGYN.net on this topic. There certainly does not seem to be a consensus yet... may be we could encourage some common ground. I would but will not have time to do it for some time (months). Thanks. Peace, Terry J. DuBose, M.S., RDMS -- Hi OnebornJoy, Amnio detection rates are still the Gold standard ~100%. I do not think it is the equipment - as I have seen it equally well with high and low end with TVS. It is the sonographers and the sensitization.

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.
