A systematic review and meta-analysis to revise the Fenton growth chart for preterm infants

BMC Pediatrics, 2013
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to revise the 2003 Fenton Preterm Growth Chart, specifically to: a) harmonize the preterm growth chart with the new World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Standard, b) smooth the data between the preterm and WHO ...

3D Bioprinted Coaxial Testis Model Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells:A Step Toward Bicompartmental Cytoarchitecture and Functionalization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to model developmental processes makes them a promising source for engineering testicular tissues to study in vitro maturation and sperm production. This work describes the first hiPSC‐derived testicular model and shows that it captures functional aspects of prepubertal testicular tissues ...

Infants’ perception of rhythmic patterns [PDF]

, 2006
We explored 9-month-old infants perception of auditory temporal sequences in a series of three experiments. In Experiment 1, we presented some infants with tone sequences that were expected to induce a strongly metric framework and others with a sequence

Disengagement of visual attention in infancy is associated with emerging autism in toddlerhood [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Early emerging characteristics of visual orienting have been associated with a wide range of typical and atypical developmental outcomes. In the current study, we examined the development of visual disengagement in infants at risk for autism.

“Therapies Through Gut:” Targeted Drug Delivery for Non‐Gastrointestinal Diseases by Oral Administration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

A model of infant speech perception and learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Infant speech perception and learning is modeled using Echo State Network classification and Reinforcement Learning. Ambient speech for the modeled infant learner is created using the speech synthesizer Vocaltractlab. An auditory system is trained to recognize vowel sounds from a series of speakers of different anatomies in Vocaltractlab. Having formed

Decreased gut microbiota diversity, delayed Bacteroidetes colonisation and reduced Th1 responses in infants delivered by Caesarean section

Gut, 2013
Objective The early intestinal microbiota exerts important stimuli for immune development, and a reduced microbial exposure as well as caesarean section (CS) has been associated with the development of allergic disease.

Effect of strategies to reduce exposure of infants to environmental tobacco smoke in the home : cross sectional survey [PDF]

, 2003
Objective To examine parents' reported knowledge and use of harm reduction strategies to protect their infants from exposure to tobacco smoke in the home, and the relation between reported use of strategies and urinary cotinine to creatinine ratios ...

Inorganic Nanomaterials Meet the Immune System: An Intricate Balance

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metal nanomaterials influence the immune responses, such as cytokine production and T‐cell activity. Unintended immune modulation can have significant consequences while its fine‐tuning may transform the oncology care. Within this review, a critical analysis is offered regarding the nano/immune‐interaction and suggests the future research directions to

Log-Contrast Regression with Functional Compositional Predictors: Linking Preterm Infant's Gut Microbiome Trajectories to Neurobehavioral Outcome [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience is known to be one of the most crucial factors that drive preterm infant's neurodevelopmental and health outcomes. It is hypothesized that stressful early life experience of very preterm neonate is imprinting gut microbiome by the regulation of the so-called brain-gut axis, and consequently, certain ...
