This webinar on fetal lung management focused on the prenatal diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of fetal lung anomalies using ultrasound and fetal therapy techniques. It began with a review of normal fetal thoracic anatomy and then moved to major congenital anomalies involving the fetal thorax. For each condition, speakers discussed ultrasound diagnostic features, prognostic indicators, available fetal surgical interventions, and neonatal management strategies to improve perinatal outcomes. We are grateful that Valentina De Robertis have prepared this course program. Recorded sessions will be available to only premium members.

Diabetes in Pregnancy: Innovations, Interventions, and Insights for the Next Decade is a focused, high-impact webinar bringing together leading experts in maternal–fetal medicine, obstetrics, endocrinology, and basic science. The program spans the full spectrum of diabetic pregnancy: early prediction and screening, placental and fetal physiology, congenital heart and brain effects, and long-term metabolic risks for women. Participants will receive state-of-the-art updates on emerging therapies—including GLP-1 agonists, CGM technology, insulin strategies, and AI-supported management—alongside practical clinical guidance. With concise lectures, interactive Q&A sessions, and forward-looking discussions, this symposium is designed for clinicians and trainees aiming to stay at the forefront of innovation and evidence in diabetes and pregnancy.

While C-sections can be lifesaving, it is best when performed for medical necessity rather than convenience. Proper prenatal care and informed decision-making can help balance the risks and benefits. Unnecessary C-sections may contribute to rising global rates, straining medical resources. It creates some problems such as breathing problems with increased risk of transient tachypnea (fast breathing) at birth, lower gut microbiome diversity which may affect immunity and digestion due to lack of exposure to beneficial vaginal bacteria, possible NICU Admission. Also increased risk of placenta previa or uterine rupture, scar tissue may cause pain or bowel obstruction and higher risk of rupture if attempting a vaginal birth in subsequent pregnancies.

Preterm labor is one of the most common reasons for prenatal admission to hospital, accounting for up to one third of such cases in some reports. However, the diagnosis of true preterm labor remains unreliable, resulting in significant over-treatment, since fewer than 10% of these women will eventually deliver within 1 week or before 35 weeks, irrespective of treatment.
