GESTATION OF PATIENTS WITH EISENMENGER’S SYNDROME: IS IT ALWAYS CONTRAINDICATED?
The management of gestation and labor in a patient with Eisenmenger’s syndrome due to multiple defects of inter-ventricular septum was described. The possibility of gestation prolongation in the patient with the said pathology was discussed, supporting ...

Fetal MRI by robust deep generative prior reconstruction and diffeomorphic registration: application to gestational age prediction [PDF]
Magnetic resonance imaging of whole fetal body and placenta is limited by different sources of motion affecting the womb. Usual scanning techniques employ single-shot multi-slice sequences where anatomical information in different slices may be subject to different deformations, contrast variations or artifacts.

Unveiling the initial conditions of open star cluster formation [PDF]
Open clusters (OCs) are infrequent survivors of embedded clusters gestated in molecular clouds. Up to now, little is known about the initial conditions for the formation of OCs. Here, we studied this issue using high-precision astrometric parameters provided by Gaia data release 3.

Background: Neonatal problems and adverse outcomes may be minimized by up to 90–75% when preterm delivery is diagnosed early and managed properly. This study aimed to determine the association of maternal plasma lipid indices with the occurrence of ...

Quantifying myelin in brain tissue using color spatial light interference microscopy (cSLIM) [PDF]
Deficient myelination of the brain is associated with neurodevelopmental delays, particularly in high-risk infants, such as those born small in relation to their gestational age (SGA). New methods are needed to further study this condition. Here, we employ Color Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (cSLIM), which uses a brightfield objective and RGB ...

Sham-Chewing in Sows Is Associated With Decreased Fear Responses in Their Offspring
We hypothesized that sham-chewing expressed by the dam during gestation affects fetus programming. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of maternal sham-chewing on offspring welfare indicators, such as behavior and physiology.

A Deep Generative Model of Neonatal Cortical Surface Development [PDF]
The neonatal cortical surface is known to be affected by preterm birth, and the subsequent changes to cortical organisation have been associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes. Deep Generative models have the potential to lead to clinically interpretable models of disease, but developing these on the cortical surface is challenging since ...
