Congenital growth hormone deficiency associated with hip dysplasia and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease [PDF]
Objective: Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is usually treated with recombinant human GH (rhGH), and this has been rarely associated with hip disorders.

Artificial neural networks for 3D cell shape recognition from confocal images [PDF]
We present a dual-stage neural network architecture for analyzing fine shape details from microscopy recordings in 3D. The system, tested on red blood cells, uses training data from both healthy donors and patients with a congenital blood disease. Characteristic shape features are revealed from the spherical harmonics spectrum of each cell and are ...

Less known aspects of central hypothyroidism: Part 2 – Congenital etiologies
Central hypothyroidism (CH) occurs approximately in 1:50,000, and therefore is expected to be one thousand times rarer compared with primary hypothyroidism.

Background: Multiple genes can disrupt hypothalamic–pituitary axis development, causing multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies (MPHD). Despite advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) identifying over 30 key genes, 85% of cases remain unsolved ...

The Role of Machine Learning in Congenital Heart Disease Diagnosis: Datasets, Algorithms, and Insights [PDF]
Congenital heart disease is among the most common fetal abnormalities and birth defects. Despite identifying numerous risk factors influencing its onset, a comprehensive understanding of its genesis and management across diverse populations remains limited.

Transfer learning for diagnosis of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract in children based on Ultrasound imaging data [PDF]
Classification of ultrasound (US) kidney images for diagnosis of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in children is a challenging task. It is desirable to improve existing pattern classification models that are built upon conventional image features.

Knockout mice with pituitary malformations help identify human cases of hypopituitarism
Background Congenital hypopituitarism (CH) and its associated syndromes, septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) and holoprosencephaly (HPE), are midline defects that cause significant morbidity for affected people. Variants in 67 genes are associated with CH, but a

Congenital Heart Disease recognition using Deep Learning/Transformer models [PDF]
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality, yet non-invasive screening methods often yield false negatives. Deep learning models, with their ability to automatically extract features, can assist doctors in detecting CHD more effectively. In this work, we investigate the use of dual-modality (sound and image)
