The effect of ambient air pollution on birth outcomes in Norway [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Ambient air pollution is harmful to the fetus even in countries with relatively low levels of pollution. In this paper, I examine the effects of ambient air pollution on birth outcomes in Norway. I find that prenatal exposure to ambient nitric oxide in the last trimester causes significant birth weight and birth length loss under the same sub-postcode ...

Temperature and Term Low Birth Weight in California
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2018 Few investigations have explored temperature and birth outcomes. In a retrospective cohort study, we examined apparent temperature, a combination of temperature and relative humidity, and term low birth weight (LBW) among 43,629 full-term LBW infants and

Glucose and glycogen levels in piglets that differ in birth weight and vitality [PDF]
, 2019 In the pig, intrauterine crowding can greatly affect postnatal characteristics, among which birth weight and locomotion. In a previous study, we discovered that piglets with a low birth weight/low vitality (L piglets) have a reduced motor performance ...

Optimizing Nutrition in Preterm Low Birth Weight Infants—Consensus Summary
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2017 Preterm birth survivors are at a higher risk of growth and developmental disabilities compared to their term counterparts. Development of strategies to lower the complications of preterm birth forms the rising need of the hour.

Low birth weight in a heterogenic population [PDF]
jpme, 1989 In order to elucidate some of the factors which influence the low birth weight rate, 22,815 deliveries were studied. It is already known that low birth weight (LBW) underlies the majority of infant deaths. It is also associated with an increased risk of permanent disability such as cerebral palsy, learning difficulties, and mental retardation of ...

Geographic and Racial Disparities in the Incidence of Low Birthweight in Pennsylvania [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Babies born with low and very low birthweights -- i.e., birthweights below 2,500 and 1,500 grams, respectively -- have an increased risk of complications compared to other babies, and the proportion of babies with a low birthweight is a common metric used when evaluating public health in a population.

Determinants of Low Birth Weight among Deliveries at a Referral Hospital in Northern Ethiopia
BioMed Research International, 2018 Background Low birth weight is the leading cause of infant and child mortality and contributes to several poor health outcomes. Proper knowledge of risk factors of low birth weight is important for identifying those mothers at risk and thereby for ...

Amazon Forest Fires Between 2001 and 2006 and Birth Weight in Porto Velho [PDF]
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, July 2012,
Volume 89, Issue 1, pp 1-7, 2019 Birth weight data (22,012 live-births) from a public hospital in Porto Velho (Amazon) was used in multiple statistical models to assess the effects of forest-fire smoke on human reproductive outcome. Mean birth weights for girls (3,139 g) and boys (3,393 g) were considered statistically different (p-value < 2.2e-16).

BabyNet: Residual Transformer Module for Birth Weight Prediction on Fetal Ultrasound Video [PDF]
, 2022 Predicting fetal weight at birth is an important aspect of perinatal care, particularly in the context of antenatal management, which includes the planned timing and the mode of delivery. Accurate prediction of weight using prenatal ultrasound is challenging as it requires images of specific fetal body parts during advanced pregnancy which is difficult
