Progesterone and preterm birth [PDF]
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2020 AbstractProgestogens (vaginal progesterone and intramuscular 17‐hydroxyprogesterone acetate) are widely recommended for women at high risk of preterm birth. Typical regimens include 17‐hydroxyprogesterone caproate (250 mg intramuscularly weekly), starting at 16–20 gestational weeks until 36 weeks or delivery for women with a singleton gestation and a ...

Ethanol for preventing preterm birth in threatened preterm labor [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014 Preterm birth is the leading cause of death and disability in newborns worldwide. A wide variety of tocolytic agents have been utilized to delay birth for women in preterm labor. One of the earliest tocolytics utilized for this purpose was ethanol infusion, although this is not generally used in current practice due to safety concerns for both the ...

A Fast Segmentation-free Fully Automated Approach to White Matter Injury Detection in Preterm Infants [PDF]
Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing (Springer), 2018, 2018 White Matter Injury (WMI) is the most prevalent brain injury in the preterm neonate leading to developmental deficits. However, detecting WMI in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of preterm neonate brains using traditional WM segmentation-based methods is difficult mainly due to lack of reliable preterm neonate brain atlases to guide segmentation.

Overly Optimistic Prediction Results on Imbalanced Data: a Case Study of Flaws and Benefits when Applying Over-sampling [PDF]
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. 111 (2021). 101987, 2020 Information extracted from electrohysterography recordings could potentially prove to be an interesting additional source of information to estimate the risk on preterm birth. Recently, a large number of studies have reported near-perfect results to distinguish between recordings of patients that will deliver term or preterm using a public resource ...

Neuroprotection of the preterm brain [PDF]
, 2019 Despite notable advances in the care and survival of preterm infants, a significant proportion of preterm neonates will have life-long cognitive, behavioral, and motor deficits, and robustly effective neuroprotective strategies are still missing. These therapies must target the pathophysiologic mechanisms observed in contemporaneous infants and rely on
