Multiple pregnancy substantially contributes to preterm birth rate worldwide. Sonographic markers of preterm birth, such as cervical length measurement, have limited prediction accuracy. Combining sonographic mid‐trimester cervical length with uterocervical angle improves the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic and uncomplicated ...

Hypoxic Cell Waves around Necrotic Cores in Glioblastoma: A Biomathematical Model and its Therapeutic Implications [PDF]
Glioblastoma is a rapidly evolving high-grade astrocytoma that is distinguished pathologically from lower grade gliomas by the presence of necrosis and microvascular hiperplasia. Necrotic areas are typically surrounded by hypercellular regions known as "pseudopalisades" originated by local tumor vessel occlusions that induce collective cellular ...

During the past two decades, necrotizing enterocolitis has emerged as a major cause of mortality and morbidity in premature infants. The specific cause of the disease remains enigmatic, but several putative risk factors provide clues to a pathophysiology that seems to be multifactorial. With the use of newly developed scientific tools, an understanding

Tracking visual outcomes – Follow‐up on patients born preterm with childhood‐onset visual impairment
Abstract Purpose Preterm birth is associated with a risk of ocular complications. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the main cause of visual impairment (VI) in a cohort of preterm born patients who had childhood‐onset VI. The association between health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and age, cause—and severity of VI and impairment type was ...

Trisomy 18 and necrotizing enterocolitis
Introduction: Both Trisomy 18 (T18) and Necrotizing enterocolitis totalis (NEC-T) are major causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates. However, to our knowledge there has never been a case of a full-term infant born with both T18 and NEC-T published ...

Analysis of a free boundary problem modeling the growth of necrotic tumors [PDF]
In this paper we make rigorous mathematical analysis to a free boundary problem modeling the growth of necrotic tumors. A remarkable feature of this free boundary problem is that it contains two different-type free surfaces: One is the tumor surface whose evolution is governed by an evolution equation and the other is the interface between the living ...

Epidemiology of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
The descriptive epidemiology of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is presented. Areas addressed include incidence, race, sex, age of onset, mortality rates, and endemic versus epidemic disease. Both descriptive and case control studies are reviewed to uncover clues relevant to the causes, pathogenesis, and prevention of NEC.

Abstract Purpose Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are believed to be associated with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood, partly due to the lack of information on RBC transfusion timing. The aim was to determine the association between the timing and amount of RBC transfusions and the development and ...

Ultrasonography in diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]
Necrotizing enterocolitis is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal emergencies in neonates, and it is generally detected clinically and radiographically. Early diagnosis is fundamental in order to limit morbidity and mortality.
