An Automatic Guidance and Quality Assessment System for Doppler Imaging of Umbilical Artery [PDF]

ASMUS 2023. Simplifying Medical Ultrasound pp 13-22. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 14337, 2023
Examination of the umbilical artery with Doppler ultrasonography is performed to investigate blood supply to the fetus through the umbilical cord, which is vital for the monitoring of fetal health. Such examination involves several steps that must be performed correctly: identifying suitable sites on the umbilical artery for the measurement, acquiring ...

Multi-task learning for joint weakly-supervised segmentation and aortic arch anomaly classification in fetal cardiac MRI [PDF]

Machine.Learning.for.Biomedical.Imaging. 2 (2023), 2023
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a group of cardiac malformations present already during fetal life, representing the prevailing category of birth defects globally. Our aim in this study is to aid 3D fetal vessel topology visualisation in aortic arch anomalies, a group which encompasses a range of conditions with significant anatomical heterogeneity ...

Maternal Physical Activity and Neonatal Cord Blood pH: Findings from the Born in Bradford Pregnancy Cohort

Physical Activity and Health, 2020
Objective: Evidence suggests that physical activity whilst pregnant is beneficially associated with maternal cardiometabolic health and perinatal outcomes. It is unknown if benefits extend to objective markers of the neonate condition at birth.

Transplanting FVIII/ET3-secreting cells in fetal sheep increases FVIII levels long-term without inducing immunity or toxicity

Nature Communications, 2023
Hemophilia A is the most common X-linked bleeding disorder affecting more than half-a-million individuals worldwide. Persons with severe hemophilia A have coagulation FVIII levels 3 years post-treatment.

Prenatal treatment of severe fetal hemolytic disease due to anti-M alloimmunization by serial intrauterine transfusions

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2017
Objective: Fetal hemolytic disease is a common cause of fetal hydrops and fetal morbidity and mortality. Despite its relatively low frequency, the anti-M IgG antibody is one of the causes of severe fetal anemia and intrauterine death; only a few cases ...

Comparison of different gene addition strategies to modify placental derived-mesenchymal stromal cells to produce FVIII

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionPlacenta-derived mesenchymal cells (PLCs) endogenously produce FVIII, which makes them ideally suited for cell-based fVIII gene delivery.

Recording and manipulation of vagus nerve electrical activity in chronically instrumented unanesthetized near term fetal sheep [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2021, 2020
Background: The chronically instrumented pregnant sheep has been used as a model of human fetal development and responses to pathophysiologic stimuli. This is due to the unique amenability of the unanesthetized fetal sheep to the surgical placement and maintenance of catheters and electrodes, allowing repetitive blood sampling, substance injection ...
