Practice questions
- A fetus has an abdominal wall defect, an extremely short umbilical cord, kyphoscoliosis, and lower-limb abnormalities. Which diagnosis best fits the pattern described in the supplied case report?
- In the reported monoamniotic twin pregnancy, which set of findings was described in the fetus suspected antenatally to have limb body wall complex?
- Which set contains only mechanisms proposed in the supplied review of limb body wall complex?
- A first-trimester scan identifies an omphalocele together with marked spinal curvature abnormality. According to the supplied case report, which approach is most appropriate?
- Which statement about the chromosomal microarray findings in the reported twin pregnancy is accurate?
- Which conditions does the supplied case report name as differential diagnoses for limb body wall complex?
- A study of UK ART outcomes analyzes only patients who consented to disclosure of identifying information for research. What is the principal methodological concern raised by the supplied HFEA-register study?
- In the supplied UK HFEA-register study, when were patients first asked for specific consent to disclosure of identifying information for research?
- Which trend in consent rates was reported for the UK HFEA ART register after specific consent to disclosure was introduced?
- Which group-level pattern was reported for consent to disclosure in the supplied ART cohort study?
- The supplied ART-register study found higher live-birth rates in the consent group than in the non-consent group. Which conclusion is most defensible?
- What potential approach do the authors of the supplied HFEA-register study mention for addressing some post-2009 consent-related bias?
- According to the supplied 2025 review, what combination of developments underlies the growing potential for machine-learning approaches in developmental-biology and clinical-embryology image analysis?
- Which claim about machine learning in clinical embryology is supported by the supplied review abstract?
