Decreased amygdala volume in adults after premature birth [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Premature-born infants have impaired amygdala structure, presumably due to increased stress levels of premature birth mediated by the amygdala. However, accounting for lifelong plasticity of amygdala, it is unclear whether such structural changes persist

Assessing the association between periodontitis and premature birth: a case-control study [PDF]

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2021
Background Premature delivery is among the leading causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity in developed societies, which is an important obstetrics problem. Maternal periodontitis is a prevalent condition that has been suspected to be associated with

Beyond survival: the lasting effects of premature birth. [PDF]

Front Pediatr, 2023
Preterm birth, defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation, is a major public health concern. It affects about 10% of all newborns globally and is the main cause of infant death and morbidity.

Sequelae of premature birth in young adults [PDF]

Clinical Neuroradiology, 2020
Background and Purpose Qualitative studies about the abnormalities appreciated on routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences in prematurely born adults are lacking. This article aimed at filling this knowledge gap by (1) qualitatively describing

Increased Brain Age Gap Estimate (BrainAGE) in Young Adults After Premature Birth

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Recent evidence suggests increased metabolic and physiologic aging rates in premature-born adults. While the lasting consequences of premature birth on human brain development are known, its impact on brain aging remains unclear.

RISK FACTORS FOR PREMATURE BIRTH IN INDONESIA

Jurnal Biometrika dan Kependudukan, 2021
Indonesia is currently taking on the challenge of the relatively high number of neonatal deaths influencing maternal and child health. Premature birth is the most significant contributor to the number of neonatal deaths. The occurrence of premature birth

Decreased cortical thickness mediates the relationship between premature birth and cognitive performance in adulthood [PDF]

Human Brain Mapping, 2020
Cortical thickness (CTh) reflects cortical properties such as dendritic complexity and synaptic density, which are not only vulnerable to developmental disturbances caused by premature birth but also highly relevant for cognitive performance.

An analysis of MRI derived cortical complexity in premature-born adults: Regional patterns, risk factors, and potential significance [PDF]

NeuroImage, 2020
Premature birth bears an increased risk for aberrant brain development concerning its structure and function. Cortical complexity (CC) expresses the fractal dimension of the brain surface and changes during neurodevelopment.

Newborn skin reflection: Proof of concept for a new approach for predicting gestational age at birth. A cross-sectional study [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Current methods to assess the gestational age during prenatal care or at birth are a global challenge. Disadvantages, such as low accessibility, high costs, and imprecision of clinical tests and ultrasonography measurements, may compromise health decisions at birth, based on the gestational age. Newborns organs and tissues can indirectly indicate their

Impaired structural connectivity between dorsal attention network and pulvinar mediates the impact of premature birth on adult visual–spatial abilities [PDF]

Human Brain Mapping, 2019
The dorsal attention network (DAN), including frontal eye fields and posterior parietal cortices, and its link with the posterior thalamus, contribute to visual–spatial abilities.
