Developing a social vulnerability index for antenatal care screening of risk for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Social determinants of health influence maternal and perinatal outcomes, yet tools to operationalize these risks in clinical care remain scarce. We aimed to study social determinants in Brazilian pregnant women and develop a social vulnerability index (SVI) that could correlate with pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.

Temporal dynamics of visual awareness and target detection revealed by EEG‐based univariate and multivariate analyses

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we combined univariate ERP analysis with multivariate decoding of EEG data to examine target detection and reported visual awareness in a near‐threshold visual task. The results revealed partly overlapping yet distinguishable temporal dynamics associated with the two processes.

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.
