The fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) records changes in the graph of fetal cardiac action potential during conduction, reflecting the developmental status of the fetus in utero and its physiological cardiac activity. Morphological alterations in the FE...

BACKGROUND: Electronic fetal monitoring is used in most US hospital births but has significant limitations in achieving its intended goal of preventing intrapartum hypoxic-ischemic injury. Novel deep learning techniques can improve complex data proce...
Independent component analysis (ICA) is widely used in the extraction of fetal ECG (FECG). However, the amplitude, order, and positive or negative values of the ICA results are uncertain. The main objective is to present a novel approach to FECG reco...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prenatal fetal monitoring, which can monitor the growth and health of the fetus, is very vital for pregnant women before delivery. During pregnancy, it is crucial to judge whether the fetus is abnormal, which helps obstetric...
The accurate decomposition of a mother's abdominal electrocardiogram (AECG) to extract the fetal ECG (FECG) is a primary step in evaluating the fetus's health. However, the AECG is often affected by different noises and interferences, such as the mat...
The invasive method of fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) monitoring is widely used with electrodes directly attached to the fetal scalp. There are potential risks such as infection and, thus, it is usually carried out during labor in rare cases. Recent ...
OBJECTIVE: Non-invasive fetal electrocardiography has the potential to provide vital information for evaluating the health status of the fetus. However, the low signal-to-noise ratio of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) impedes the applicability of t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is a fetal condition defined as the abnormal rate of fetal growth. The pathology is a documented cause of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. In clinical practice, diagnosis is...
This paper presents two new concepts for discrimination of signals of different complexity. The first focused initially on solving the problem of setting entropy descriptors by varying the pattern size instead of the tolerance. This led to the search...
