A drugs are an essential part of the management and prevention of the risk of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE). The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has produced guidelines to assist in reducing this risk.1 The risk of fatal embolism after high-risk surgery is 1-5%. In orthopedic and gynecological surgeries anti-thrombotics are widely used because VTE in patients underg...

Ultrasound examination of the fetal palate is known to be problematic. The difficulties identified include shadowing by facial bones, its curved anatomy, and its location deep inside the fetal head especially for the posterior part of palate. The soft tissues in the area, e.g. the fetal tongue, also make it more difficult to delineate the palate. Antenatal detection rate of fetal cleft palate h...
