Application of signal processing techniques in the assessment of clinical risks in preterm infants [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Preterm infants with very low birth weight suffer from a high risk of intra-ventricular hemorrhage(IVH) and other serious diseases. To improve the clinical risk assessment of preterm infants and develop potential clinically makers for the adverse outcome, the first part of the paper develops the frequency spectral analysis on the non-invasively ...

Using Undersampling with Ensemble Learning to Identify Factors Contributing to Preterm Birth [PDF]

ICMLA 2020, 2020
In this paper, we propose Ensemble Learning models to identify factors contributing to preterm birth. Our work leverages a rich dataset collected by a NIEHS P42 Center that is trying to identify the dominant factors responsible for the high rate of premature births in northern Puerto Rico.

Autistic Traits and Emotion Dysregulation in 5–11‐Year‐Old Intellectually Able Children With Autism Spectrum Condition: Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation Strategies

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emotion dysregulation (ED) is common among children with an autism spectrum condition (ASC). However, the mechanisms underlying emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) and their impacts on ED in this population remain unclear. The current study examined whether ED is directly related to autistic traits or mediated by deficits in ERSs after ...

Racial Disparities in the Association Between Stress and Preterm Birth

, 2015
Background: High levels of maternal stress have been linked to preterm births. However, findings from previous studies are inconsistent due to the varied use of stress measures.

Built Environment and Preterm Birth [PDF]

, 2014
Background. Preterm birth affects approximately 500,000 babies a year in the United States. One out of nine babies born in the United States deliver before 37 weeks gestation. Preterm birth can cause lifelong neurological problems, cerebral palsy, vision

Pharmacokinetics of betamethasone in pre‐eclampsia: An in vivo and ex vivo study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims To enhance understanding of betamethasone and its metabolites' pharmacokinetics in pregnancy, specifically early‐onset pre‐eclampsia, through a population pharmacokinetic model. Additionally, to investigate the placental metabolism and transfer of betamethasone and its main metabolites.

Low Birth weight, Preterm Birth, and their Associations with The Risk Of Asphyxia [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Perinatal asphyxia, neonatal asphyxia, or birth asphyxia has been defined as the medical condition resulting from deprivation of oxygen to a newborn infant that lasts long enough during the birth process to cause physical harm, usually to the

Using Kernel Methods and Model Selection for Prediction of Preterm Birth [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
We describe an application of machine learning to the problem of predicting preterm birth. We conduct a secondary analysis on a clinical trial dataset collected by the National In- stitute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) while focusing our attention on predicting different classes of preterm birth. We compare three approaches for deriving
