Hormonal biomarkers and preterm birth: insights from a study of pregnant women in Lahore, Pakistan
Objective. Reduced calciferol (vitamin D) levels in pregnant women have been associated with an increased risk to infant health. Progesterone sustains pregnancy and reduces the risk of premature birth through its metabolites affecting myometrial ...

Associations of maternal and neonatal serum trace element concentrations with neonatal birth weight.
BackgroundTrace elements play important nutritional roles in neonates. Our objective was to examine whether there are differences in maternal/neonatal serum trace element concentrations between mature infants and premature infants.MethodsDuring 2012, 44 ...

Premature aging as a consequence of Mis-construction of tissues and organs during body development [PDF]
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome, Werner syndrome, and Cockayne syndrome are three genetic disorders, in which the children have premature aging features. To understand the phenomenon of premature aging, the similarity of aging features in these syndromes to that in normal aging is investigated. Although these three syndromes have different genetic

Self-supervised contrastive learning unveils cortical folding pattern linked to prematurity [PDF]
Brain folding patterns have been reported to carry clinically relevant information. The brain folds mainly during the last trimester of pregnancy, and the process might be durably disturbed by preterm birth. Yet little is known about preterm-specific patterns. In this work, we train a self-supervised model (SimCLR) on the UKBioBank cohort (21070 adults)
