Deep-learning models improve on community-level diagnosis for common congenital heart disease lesions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Prenatal diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), two serious congenital heart defects, improves outcomes and can in some cases facilitate in utero interventions. In practice, however, the fetal diagnosis rate for these lesions is only 30-50 percent in community settings. Improving fetal diagnosis of congenital

When rare meets common: Treatable genetic diseases are enriched in the general psychiatric population

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 194, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Mental illnesses are one of the biggest contributors to the global disease burden. Despite the increased recognition, diagnosis and ongoing research of mental health disorders, the etiology and underlying molecular mechanisms of these disorders are yet to be fully elucidated.

The diagnosis and management of congenital and adult-onset hyperinsulinism (nesidioblastosis) – literature review

open access: yesPolish Journal of Pathology, 2017
Congenital and adult-onset hyperinsulinism (CHI) must be taken under consideration in the differential diagnosis of hypoglycaemia symptoms with endogenous hyperinsulinism, especially in cases in which there was failure to find an insulinoma. Histological

Hypoglycemia in CDG patients due to PMM2 mutations: Follow up on hyperinsulinemic patients

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2020
Background Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2‐CDG) is the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG). Hypoglycemia has been reported in various CDG including PMM2‐CDG.

Topology-preserving augmentation for CNN-based segmentation of congenital heart defects from 3D paediatric CMR [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Patient-specific 3D printing of congenital heart anatomy demands an accurate segmentation of the thin tissue interfaces which characterise these diagnoses. Even when a label set has a high spatial overlap with the ground truth, inaccurate delineation of these interfaces can result in topological errors.

Monogenic diabetes in a Chinese population with young‐onset diabetes: A 17‐year prospective follow‐up study in Hong Kong

open access: yesDiabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 40, Issue 5, July 2024.
Abstract Aims Asians have a high prevalence of young‐onset diabetes, but the pattern of monogenic diabetes is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of monogenic diabetes in Chinese patients with young‐onset diabetes and compare the clinical characteristics and outcome between patients with and without monogenic diabetes.

Automatic Tissue Segmentation with Deep Learning in Patients with Congenital or Acquired Distortion of Brain Anatomy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Brains with complex distortion of cerebral anatomy present several challenges to automatic tissue segmentation methods of T1-weighted MR images. First, the very high variability in the morphology of the tissues can be incompatible with the prior knowledge embedded within the algorithms.

Bardet‐Biedl syndrome: A clinical overview focusing on diagnosis, outcomes and best‐practice management

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 26, Issue S2, Page 25-33, April 2024.
Abstract Bardet‐Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetic disorder characterized by early‐onset obesity, polydactyly, genital and kidney anomalies, developmental delay and vision loss due to rod‐cone dystrophy. BBS is an autosomal recessive disorder with >20 implicated genes.

Congenital hyperinsulinism: diagnostic and management challenges in a developing country – case report [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2017
Management of congenital hyperinsulinemia of infancy (CHI) is challenging. A 4-month-old female infant with persistent hypoglycemia and elevated insulin levels was diagnosed with CHI.

Automated Detection of Congenital Heart Disease in Fetal Ultrasound Screening [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Prenatal screening with ultrasound can lower neonatal mortality significantly for selected cardiac abnormalities. However, the need for human expertise, coupled with the high volume of screening cases, limits the practically achievable detection rates.
