Hypersecretion of FSH in infant boys and girls born small for gestational age.
Prenatal growth restraint, as reflected in a low birthweight for gestational age, is a risk factor for postpubertal FSH hypersecretion and for reduced gonadal size. The ontogeny of the low-birthweight effect on the FSH-inhibin B feedback loop is unknown.

Infant Vocal Tract Development Analysis and Diagnosis by Cry Signals with CNN Age Classification [PDF]
From crying to babbling and then to speech, infant's vocal tract goes through anatomic restructuring. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive fast method of using infant cry signals with convolutional neural network (CNN) based age classification to diagnose the abnormality of the vocal tract development as early as 4-month age.

Multi-feature classifiers for burst detection in single EEG channels from preterm infants [PDF]
The study of electroencephalographic (EEG) bursts in preterm infants provides valuable information about maturation or prognostication after perinatal asphyxia. Over the last two decades, a number of works proposed algorithms to automatically detect EEG bursts in preterm infants, but they were designed for populations under 35 weeks of post menstrual ...
