Predicting Extubation Readiness in Extreme Preterm Infants based on Patterns of Breathing [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Extremely preterm infants commonly require intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation after birth. While the duration of mechanical ventilation should be minimized in order to avoid complications, extubation failure is associated with increases in morbidities and mortality.

Safe recovery after cesarean in rural Africa: Technical consensus guidelines for post‐discharge care

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 160, Issue 1, Page 12-21, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite increasing cesarean rates in Africa, there remain extensive gaps in the standard provision of care after cesarean birth. We present recommendations for discharge instructions to be provided to women following cesarean delivery in Rwanda, particularly rural Rwanda, and with consideration of adaptable guidelines for sub‐Saharan Africa ...

Iris Recognition for Infants [PDF]

arXiv
Non-invasive, efficient, physical token-less, accurate and stable identification methods for newborns may prevent baby swapping at birth, limit baby abductions and improve post-natal health monitoring across geographies, within the context of both the formal (i.e., hospitals) and informal (i.e., humanitarian and fragile settings) health sectors.

Towards Reliable, Automated General Movement Assessment for Perinatal Stroke Screening in Infants Using Wearable Accelerometers [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Perinatal stroke (PS) is a serious condition that, if undetected and thus untreated, often leads to life-long disability, in particular Cerebral Palsy (CP). In clinical settings, Prechtl's General Movement Assessment (GMA) can be used to classify infant movements using a Gestalt approach, identifying infants at high risk of developing PS.

Placental pathology and neonatal encephalopathy

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 160, Issue 1, Page 22-27, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, there remain gaps in our knowledge about its pathogenesis. The placenta has been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease but conclusive evidence related to the placental factors that influence it is sparse.

AGE2HIE: Transfer Learning from Brain Age to Predicting Neurocognitive Outcome for Infant Brain Injury [PDF]

arXiv
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) affects 1 to 5 out of every 1,000 newborns, with 30% to 50% of cases resulting in adverse neurocognitive outcomes. However, these outcomes can only be reliably assessed as early as age 2. Therefore, early and accurate prediction of HIE-related neurocognitive outcomes using deep learning models is critical for ...
