BACKGROUND: Short stature is a prevalent pediatric endocrine disorder for which early detection and prediction are pivotal for improving treatment outcomes. However, existing diagnostic criteria often lack the necessary sensitivity and specificity be...
BACKGROUND: Converging evidence indicates an adolescent mental health crisis in Western societies that has developed and exacerbated over the past decade. The proposed driving factors of this trend include more screen time, physical inactivity, and s...
Rapidly increasing healthcare spending globally is significantly driven by high-need, high-cost (HNHC) patients, who account for the top 5% of annual healthcare costs but over half of total expenditures. The programs targeting existing HNHC patients ...
BACKGROUND: The microbiome of adolescents is poorly understood, as are factors influencing its composition. We aimed to describe the healthy adolescent microbiome and identify early-life and concurrent predictors of its composition.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the performance of machine learning (ML) methods based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) parameters in distinguishing children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) from healthy controls (HCs).
PURPOSE: Malnutrition remains a critical public health issue in low-income countries, significantly hindering economic development and contributing to over 50% of infant deaths. Under nutrition weakens immune systems, increasing susceptibility to com...
Structural neuroimaging studies of patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) typically present two findings: 1-volume reduction of subcortical gray matter structures, and 2-abnormalities of cortical thickness. The general trend has been to obse...
BACKGROUND: Exposure to air pollution and meteorological conditions, such as humidity, has been linked to adverse respiratory health outcomes in children. This study aims to develop predictive models for pediatric hospitalizations based on both envir...
Purpose To develop a deep learning (DL) model that derives aligned strain values from cine (noncontrast) cardiac MRI and evaluate performance of these values to predict myocardial fibrosis in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Materials...
