Announcing the FMFI Fetal Neuroimaging Conference.

12-14th August 2022
Caravela Beach Resort, Varca, GOA

Dear Friends,

The last two years gave many specialists a chance to realise that they wanted to up-skill and go into the depths of a particular subject. The fetal brain is an area which attracts deeper exploration. It throws up challenges and confounders and is a maze which can be navigated with more confidence with the help of our invited Gurus in the field of Fetal Neuroimaging.

Prof Malinger introduced Neurosonography to the world. Prof Daniela Prayer pioneered Fetal MRI imaging globally, and Dr BS Ramamurthy has been the leader in this field in India. Come and attend this meeting amid nature, where our capacity to learn and imagine can only soar.

Highlights:
- Didactic lectures by the Main Faculty covering ultrasound and MRI aspects of Fetal Neuroimaging
- A single session: Emerging neurosonologists presenting their original work

Pre and Post Conference Workshops
- 12th August: Masterclass in Fetal Brain, Multiplanar Optimisation and Analysis with Dr.B.S.Rama Murthy
- 14th August: Masterclass in Fetal MRI with Prof Daniela Prayer
- 14th August: Hands-On OPUS Simulation Fetal Brain Sonography: Fundamentals and Basic Principles with Prof Gustavo Malinger ( to be confirmed)

World Prematurity Day 2019

Preterm birth complications

According to the most recent estimates, preterm birth is a leading cause of under-5 mortality, claiming nearly 1 million lives every year, with the rate of preterm birth increasing in many countries.

The World Health Organization defines preterm birth as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed. While many preterm babies survive in high-income countries, in low- and middle-income countries a lack of adequate newborn care puts the lives of many preterm babies at risk.

World TTTS Awareness Day is an international mobilization effort created by The Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foundation to increase awareness of the #1 problem facing multiples.

It is crucial for women to get an ultrasound in the first trimester to identify multiples and then to determine whether there is one placenta or two.

THE TTTS FOUNDATION’S
15 MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Confirm at initial ultrasounds (preferably by 10-16 weeks)

1. Is the placenta monochorionic?
2. Are the babies the same gender?
3. Can you see the dividing membrane?
4. Is the placenta implanted on the anterior or posterior surface of the womb?
5. Do the twins’ umbilical cords each have the normal 3 blood vessels, or does one of them have 2 vessels?
6. Are the umbilical cords fully attached to the placenta?

Questions to ask at weekly ultrasounds (16 weeks to delivery)

7. What is the largest vertical pocket of amniotic fluid in each baby’s sac?
8. What is the largest vertical pocket of amniotic fluid in each baby’s sac?
9. What are the weights of the babies in grams? (every 2-3 weeks)
10. Are the Doppler ultrasound studies normal for both babies?
11. Is the heart of the recipient baby thickened or enlarged?
12. Does the recipient baby have any signs of hydrops?
13. How long is my cervix by ultrasound, and it is showing any signs of funneling or thinning?
14. Is the smaller baby growing at the same rate?
15. What is the fundal height measurement?
