Motion robust MR fingerprinting scan to image neonates with prenatal opioid exposure [PDF]
Background: A noninvasive and sensitive imaging tool is needed to assess the fast-evolving baby brain. However, using MRI to study non-sedated babies faces roadblocks, including high scan failure rates due to subjects motion and the lack of quantitative measures for assessing potential developmental delays.

HT-MMIOW: A Hypothesis Test approach for Microbiome Mediation using Inverse Odds Weighting [PDF]
The human microbiome has an important role in determining health. Mediation analyses quantify the contribution of the microbiome in the causal path between exposure and disease; however, current mediation models cannot fully capture the high dimensional, correlated, and compositional nature of microbiome data and do not typically accommodate ...

Study of Phase Stability in NiPt Systems [PDF]
We have studied the problem of phase stability in NiPt alloy system. We have used the augmented space recursion based on the TB-LMTO as the method for studying the electronic structure of the alloys. In particular, we have used the relativistic generalization of our earlier technique. We note that, in order to predict the proper ground state structures

Towards A Device-Independent Deep Learning Approach for the Automated Segmentation of Sonographic Fetal Brain Structures: A Multi-Center and Multi-Device Validation [PDF]
Quality assessment of prenatal ultrasonography is essential for the screening of fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. The interpretation of fetal brain structures is highly subjective, expertise-driven, and requires years of training experience, limiting quality prenatal care for all pregnant mothers.

Artificial Intelligence in Fetal Growth Restriction Management: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT This narrative review examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in prenatal care, particularly in managing pregnancies complicated by Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR). AI provides a transformative approach to diagnosing and monitoring FGR by leveraging advanced machine‐learning algorithms and extensive data analysis.
