Cortisol is involved in the initiation of parturition and we hypothesized that increased maternal cortisol release advances the onset of foaling. Transport is a stressor for horses and induces an increase in cortisol release. To determine stress effe...

BACKGROUND: Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is a screening tool used by obstetricians to evaluate the fetal state. Because of the complexity and non-linearity, a visual interpretation of FHR signals using common guidelines usually results in signif...

BACKGROUND: Cardiotocography is a common method of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for fetal well-being. Data-driven analyses have shown potential for automated EFM assessment. For this preliminary study, we used a novel artificial intelligence met...
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the performance of an annotation-free embryo scoring system on the basis of deep learning for pregnancy prediction after single vitrified blastocyst transfer (SVBT) compared with the performance of other blastocyst grading syste...

Computer assisted cardiotocography holds a great promise in minimizing human errors thereby improving perinatal outcome. Despite exponential growth (Moore's law) in computing power for decades, this promise remains unrealized. The systematic analyses...
The availability of standardized guidelines regarding the use of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) in clinical practice has not effectively helped to solve the main drawbacks of fetal heart rate (FHR) surveillance methodology, which still presents in...
This work is devoted to the problems of one of the most common screening examinations used in medical practice: fetal cardiotocography (CTG). The technology of ultrasonic monitoring of fetal heart rate (HR) variations has been used for more than 70 y...
We have developed deep learning models for automatic identification of the maternal heart rate (MHR) and, more generally, false signals (FSs) on fetal heart rate (FHR) recordings. The models can be used to preprocess FHR data prior to automated analy...

INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining more interest in the field of medicine due to its capacity to learn patterns directly from data. This becomes interesting for the field of cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation, since it promises ...

BACKGROUND: Clinically cardiotocography is a technique which is used to monitor and evaluate the level of fetal distress. Even though, CTG is the most widely used device to monitor determine the fetus health, existence of high false positive result f...
