A Semi-Markov Chain Approach to Modeling Respiratory Patterns Prior to Extubation in Preterm Infants [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
After birth, extremely preterm infants often require specialized respiratory management in the form of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Protracted IMV is associated with detrimental outcomes and morbidities. Premature extubation, on the other hand, would necessitate reintubation which is risky, technically challenging and could further lead to ...

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.

Release of functional peptides from mother's milk and fortifier proteins in the premature infant stomach.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Digestion of milk proteins in the premature infant stomach releases functional peptides; however, which peptides are present has not been reported. Premature infants are often fed a combination of human milk and bovine milk fortifiers, but the variety of

Postnatal Progressive Craniosynostosis: An Unusual Case Presentation Leading to Cascade Diagnosis for Multiple Generations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NM_000141.5: FGFR2 c.1032G>A is a pathogenic variant that causes Crouzon syndrome through activation of a new donor splice site. This clinical report highlights the intrafamilial variability that can exist with this specific variant. The proband is a 4‐year‐old boy who initially presented with concern for seizures.

Growth Charts for Children With Beckwith–Wiedemann Spectrum

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beckwith–Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is an overgrowth disorder caused by (epi)genetic alterations in chromosome 11p15. This study aimed to develop BWSp‐specific growth charts and explore genotype/phenotype correlations with respect to growth. Heights, weights, and head circumferences were retrospectively collected from 581 individuals with BWSp ...

Machine learning without a feature set for detecting bursts in the EEG of preterm infants [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Deep neural networks enable learning directly on the data without the domain knowledge needed to construct a feature set. This approach has been extremely successful in almost all machine learning applications. We propose a new framework that also learns directly from the data, without extracting a feature set.

Adverse Cardiovascular Risk Profile and Increased Diurnal Salivary Cortisol in Girls With Turner Syndrome: An Exploratory Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) and those exposed to high concentrations of glucocorticoids have a number of characteristics in common, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Pediatric TS patients underwent studies of salivary cortisol (SC) and cortisone (SCn), body composition, continuous glucose monitoring, vascular ...

PERSISTENT PNEUMOTHORAX IN A PREMATURE INFANT [PDF]

, 2023
Introduction: Pneumothorax is a condition in which the air is present in the pleural space with a collapse of the ipsilateral lung. Spontaneous pneumothorax is divided into primary and secondary. Primary pneumothorax makes 80% of all pneumothoraxes and

A Newly Defined, Common Ophthalmologic Condition Requires Special Neurological Attention

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
A host of acquired abnormalities in visual function are known to occur in persons who suffer stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disorders. Cerebral visual impairment occurs in children with early neurological injury or disorders, especially neonatal hypoxic‐ischemic injury.
