Pain Analysis, in Premature Infants, Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) [PDF]
Background: The role of neonatal pain on the developing nervous system is not completely understood, but evidence suggests that sensory pathways are influenced by an infants pain experience. Research has shown that an infants previous pain experiences lead to an increased, and likely abnormal, response to subsequent painful stimuli.

FRNET: Flattened Residual Network for Infant MRI Skull Stripping [PDF]
Skull stripping for brain MR images is a basic segmentation task. Although many methods have been proposed, most of them focused mainly on the adult MR images. Skull stripping for infant MR images is more challenging due to the small size and dynamic intensity changes of brain tissues during the early ages.

Allometric metabolic scaling and fetal and placental weight [PDF]
We tested the hypothesis that the fetal-placental relationship scales allometrically and identified modifying factors. Among women delivering after 34 weeks but prior to 43 weeks gestation, 24,601 participants in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) had complete data for placental gross proportion measures, specifically, disk shape, larger and ...
