Molecular Principles of Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Plasmodium Falciparum Infection
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Malaria in pregnancy still constitutes a particular medical challenge in tropical and subtropical regions. Of the five Plasmodium species that are pathogenic to humans, infection with Plasmodium falciparum leads to fulminant progression of the disease ...

Placenta Segmentation in Ultrasound Imaging: Addressing Sources of Uncertainty and Limited Field-of-View [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Automatic segmentation of the placenta in fetal ultrasound (US) is challenging due to the (i) high diversity of placenta appearance, (ii) the restricted quality in US resulting in highly variable reference annotations, and (iii) the limited field-of-view of US prohibiting whole placenta assessment at late gestation. In this work, we address these three

The effects of strain, reproductive condition, and strain of placenta donor on placentophagia in nonpregnant mice [PDF]
, 1973 The effects on placentophagia of strain, reproductive condition, and strain of placenta donor were observed in nonpregnant mice. Mice of the C57BL/6By and BALB/cBy strains were exposed to placentas of either strain after either no previous parturitional ...

Autism risk classification using placental chorionic surface vascular network features
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2017 Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the fastest-growing developmental disorders in the United States. It was hypothesized that variations in the placental chorionic surface vascular network (PCSVN) structure may reflect both the overall ...

Volumetric Parameterization of the Placenta to a Flattened Template [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We present a volumetric mesh-based algorithm for parameterizing the placenta to a flattened template to enable effective visualization of local anatomy and function. MRI shows potential as a research tool as it provides signals directly related to placental function.
