Early Detection of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in Retinal Fundus Images Via Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an abnormal blood vessel development in the retina of a prematurely-born infant or an infant with low birth weight. ROP is one of the leading causes for infant blindness globally. Early detection of ROP is critical to slow down and avert the progression to vision impairment caused by ROP.

Transfer Learning for Retinal Vascular Disease Detection: A Pilot Study with Diabetic Retinopathy and Retinopathy of Prematurity [PDF]
Retinal vascular diseases affect the well-being of human body and sometimes provide vital signs of otherwise undetected bodily damage. Recently, deep learning techniques have been successfully applied for detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The main obstacle of applying deep learning techniques to detect most other retinal vascular diseases is the ...

Cysteinyl leukotriene involvement in chronic lung disease in premature infants [PDF]
The pathophysiology of chronic lung disease (CLD) in premature infants who require mechanical ventilation and prolonged oxygen supplementation has been well-described but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that excess cysteinyl leukotriene (LT) production was a contributing factor in CLD.

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications
HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

Microvillus Inclusion Disease Associated with Necrotizing Enterocolitis in a Premature Infant
Microvillus inclusion disease is one of the congenital diarrheal disorders characterized by the appearance of inclusion bodies on the intestinal epithelium. To date there are a few cases and also a few other associated finding reports related to this life-threatening disease in literature.

Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) can induce dysfunction in adrenal steroid synthesis in adult male offspring. This study demonstrate that the mechanism is associated with the upregulation of fetal adrenal cholesterol 27 hydroxylase (CYP27A1)promoter region histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) levels and expression mediated by PDE through the ...
