The FemTech revolution: Unlocking the potential of new technology for optimizing pregnancy outcomes in low‐ and middle‐income countries and remote areas

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity rates uncover major global health disparities. Despite ongoing efforts, the rates of maternal and neonatal complications remain substantially higher in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) compared to high‐income countries (HICs). These high rates are the result of several unmet needs in LMICs,

In Silico Fragment Size Selection for Enhanced Fetal Fraction and Abnormality Origin Discernment Using Pair‐End Sequencing of Maternal Plasma DNA

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study presents a new bioinformatics pipeline for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) that filters DNA fragments to significantly improve the fetal DNA fraction. This enhanced method successfully analyzed samples previously rejected for low fetal fraction and could distinguish between fetal and maternal chromosomal abnormalities.

Double Slag Operating Standard for Mitigation of CO2 Emissions in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking

steel research international, EarlyView.
Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking uses a double slag process (DSP) to produce low‐phosphorus steel. To reduce carbon emissions in a BOF, the hot metal ratio (HMR) must be lowered. The present article describes the optimal conditions for DSP operations under low‐HMR conditions: temperature of 1360 ± 5 °C, total Fe content of 10 ± 2 wt%, basicity (=

Experimental and Computational Investigation of Slag–Refractory Interactions Under Conditions Relevant to Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study investigates how slag interacts with magnesia–carbon (MgO–C) refractories under conditions relevant to hydrogen plasma smelting reduction. High‐temperature refractory wear tests are combined with thermodynamic modeling to examine refractory dissolution into slag and slag infiltration into the refractory.
