Joint Landmark and Structure Learning for Automatic Evaluation of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip [PDF]
The ultrasound (US) screening of the infant hip is vital for the early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The US diagnosis of DDH refers to measuring alpha and beta angles that quantify hip joint development. These two angles are calculated from key anatomical landmarks and structures of the hip. However, this measurement process is

Impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia on pulmonary function during childhood: a systematic review [PDF]
Introduction: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactorial chronic lung disease that contributes to disruption of pulmonary development. It may impair pulmonary function in early childhood and persist throughout school-age, adolescence, and ...

The new bronchopulmonary dysplasia [PDF]
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains the most common severe complication of preterm birth. A number of recent animal models and clinical studies provide new information about pathophysiology and treatment.The epidemiology of BPD continues to demonstrate that birth weight and gestational age are most predictive of BPD.

The study explored the clinical characteristics and risk factors of HBoV‐positive severe pneumonia in children. These findings indicate that HBoV can be identified in respiratory samples from children with severe pneumonia, denoting its role as a viral pathogen in hospitalized children with this condition.

Multimodal Optical Techniques in Pre-Clinical Evaluation of Oral Cancer: Fluorescence Imaging and Spectroscopic Devices [PDF]
Objective: Survival rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients is very poor and can be improved using highly sensitive, specific and accurate techniques. Autofluorescence and fluorescence techniques are very sensitive and useful in cancer screening.

Anemia and retinopathy of prematurity: A narrative review
Anemia in infants who are at greatest risk of developing severe retinopathy of prematurity is almost universal. There is plausible evidence in the literature correlating anemia with severe ROP. However, the relationship is complex, and further study is needed to better understand the potential molecular mechanisms for anemia‐associated ROP.

A Fully Automated and Explainable Algorithm for the Prediction of Malignant Transformation in Oral Epithelial Dysplasia [PDF]
Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a premalignant histopathological diagnosis given to lesions of the oral cavity. Its grading suffers from significant inter-/intra- observer variability, and does not reliably predict malignancy progression, potentially leading to suboptimal treatment decisions.
