Use of What-if Scenarios to Help Explain Artificial Intelligence Models for Neonatal Health [PDF]
arXivEarly detection of intrapartum risk enables interventions to potentially prevent or mitigate adverse labor outcomes such as cerebral palsy. Currently, there is no accurate automated system to predict such events to assist with clinical decision-making.

Uterine muscle networks: Connectivity analysis of the EHG during pregnancy and Labor [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this paper, we propose a new framework to analyze the electrical activity of the uterus recorded by electrohysterography (EHG), from abdominal electrodes (a grid of 4x4 electrodes) during pregnancy and labor. We evaluate the potential use of the synchronization between EHG signals in characterizing electrical activity of the uterus during pregnancy ...

X‐linked ichthyosis: New insights into a multi‐system disorder
Skin Health and Disease, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 X‐linked ichthyosis is a rare genetic skin condition. We discuss here how it is also associated with multiple medical conditions which may impact affected individuals' education, quality of life and mortality. Awareness and understanding of these comorbidities will be important for ensuring the best multidisplinary care for individuals with XLI ...
