Electronic fetal monitoring, cerebral palsy, and caesarean section: assumptions versus evidence.
Given evidence that cerebral palsy is not reduced by electronic fetal monitoring, Karin Nelson, Thomas Sartwelle, and Dwight Rouse ask why routine monitoring and related litigation continue to contribute to high rates of caesarean ...

Making stillbirths count, making numbers talk - issues in data collection for stillbirths. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Stillbirths need to count. They constitute the majority of the world's perinatal deaths and yet, they are largely invisible. Simply counting stillbirths is only the first step in analysis and prevention.

Are Routine Interventions Necessary in Normal Birth?
Routine interventions during labor and birth, such as perineal shaving and enemas before vaginal delivery, continuous intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), and episiotomy are prevalent in Taiwan, but they may not always be necessary.

In Vitro Consequences of Electronic-Cigarette Flavoring Exposure on the Immature Lung. [PDF]
Background: The developing lung is uniquely susceptible and may be at increased risk of injury with exposure to e-cigarette constituents. We hypothesize that cellular toxicity and airway and vascular responses with exposure to flavored refill solutions ...

When intra-partum electronic fetal monitoring becomes court business [PDF]
Sadly but inevitably, the clinical fruit of all scientific research, like the profile of the Roman god Janus, presents us with two faces - one is patient benefit while the other is medico-legal vulnerability.

Cell‐free DNA aneuploidy score as a dynamic early response marker in prostate cancer
mFast‐SeqS‐based genome‐wide aneuploidy scores are concordant with aneuploidy scores obtained by whole genome sequencing from tumor tissue and can predict response to ARSI treatment at baseline and, at an early time point, to ARSI and taxanes. This assay can be easily performed at low cost and requires little input of cfDNA. Cell‐free circulating tumor

Actionable Wearables Data for the Neurology Clinic: A Proof‐of‐Concept Tool
ABSTRACT Objective Wearable devices can monitor key health and fitness domains. In multiple sclerosis (MS), monitoring step count and sleep is feasible, valid, and offers a holistic glimpse of patient functioning and worsening. However, data generated from wearables are typically unavailable at the point of care.

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Role of fetal monitoring in high risk pregnancy by fetal electrocardiogram [PDF]
Background: Non-stress test is an external monitoring of fetal heart rate by electrocardiograph. Although intermittent auscultation of fetal heart rate is equivalent to continuous electronic fetal monitoring in detecting fetal compromise1 but continuous ...
