Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1627-1635, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives The congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), characterized by malformation of the diaphragm and lung hypoplasia, is a common and severe birth defect that affects around 1 in 4000 live births. However, the etiology of most cases of CDH remains unclear.

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1643-1649, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Many studies, largely from high‐income countries (HIC), have reported outcomes in babies with trisomy 18 (T18), with a paucity of data from Africa. Knowledge of outcomes is important in counselling women prenatally diagnosed with T18.

Does visual experience influence arm proprioception and its lateralization? Evidence from passive matching performance in congenitally-blind and sighted adults [PDF]
Neuroscience Letters, 2023, 137335, pp.137335, 2023 In humans, body segments' position and movement can be estimated from multiple senses such as vision and proprioception. It has been suggested that vision and proprioception can influence each other and that upper-limb proprioception is asymmetrical, with proprioception of the non-dominant arm being more accurate and/or precise than proprioception of ...

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 19, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Background We present the case report of synchronous trans‐fascial repair of a large congenital Morgagni hernia (MH) and low anterior resection using a fully robotic approach. Methods A 61‐year old female presented with fresh red blood in her stool. She had a previous history of abdominal hysterectomy and a performance status of 0.

Closed‐loop automated oxygen control in ventilated infants born at or near term: A crossover trial
Acta Paediatrica, Volume 112, Issue 2, Page 246-251, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim To determine if the use of closed‐loop automated oxygen control (CLAC) reduced the incidence and duration of hypoxemic episodes (SpO2 < 92%) in ventilated infants born at or above 34 weeks of gestation. Methods Infants were studied on two consecutive days for 6 h each day.

Auditory cortex and beyond: Deficits in congenital amusia [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2023, 437, pp.108855, 2023 Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder of music perception and production, with the observed deficits contrasting with the sophisticated music processing reported for the general population. Musical deficits within amusia have been hypothesized to arise from altered pitch processing, with impairments in pitch discrimination and, notably ...

Binary segmentation of medical images using implicit spline representations and deep learning [PDF]
Computer Aided Geometric Design, Volume 85, 2021, 2021 We propose a novel approach to image segmentation based on combining implicit spline representations with deep convolutional neural networks. This is done by predicting the control points of a bivariate spline function whose zero-set represents the segmentation boundary.

Toward improved inference for Krippendorff's Alpha agreement coefficient [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this article I recommend a better point estimator for Krippendorff's Alpha agreement coefficient, and develop a jackknife variance estimator that leads to much better interval estimation than does the customary bootstrap procedure or an alternative bootstrap procedure.

HEDI: First-Time Clinical Application and Results of a Biomechanical Evaluation and Visualisation Tool for Incisional Hernia Repair [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Abdominal wall defects often lead to pain, discomfort, and recurrence of incisional hernias, resulting in significant morbidity and repeated surgical repairs worldwide. Mesh repair for large hernias is usually based on the defect area with a fixed overlap, neglecting biomechanical factors such as muscle activation, intra-abdominal pressure, tissue ...

A link between solar events and congenital malformations: Is ionizing radiation enough to explain it? [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics 120.3, 1537-1542
(2015), 2015 Cosmic rays are known to cause biological effects directly and through ionizing radiation produced by their secondaries. These effects have been detected in airline crews and other specific cases where members of the population are exposed to above average secondary fluxes.
