Neurodevelopmental impairments (NDIs) are significant long-term complications in preterm infants. While early recognition of infants at high risk for NDIs is essential for enabling timely intervention, it remains a challenging endeavor. Autonomous sc...
Neonatal mortality poses a critical challenge in global health, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Leveraging advancements in technology, such as machine learning (ML) algorithms, offers the potential to improve neonatal care by enabli...
Pediatric gastroenteritis is a major reason for sickness and death among children worldwide, especially in places where healthcare and clean sanitation are scarce. Conventional methods of diagnosis overlook possible risks and seasonal trends, which r...
Continuous adult hippocampal neurogenesis is involved in memory formation and mood regulation but is challenging to study in humans. Difficulties finding proliferating progenitor cells called into question whether and how new neurons may be generated...
BACKGROUND: Attentional processes in toddlers are characterized by a state of alertness in which they focus their waking state for short periods. It is essential to develop assessment and attention stimulation protocols from an early age to improve t...

BACKGROUND: Determining extubation readiness in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) is challenging. We used expert-augmented machine learning (EAML), a method that combines machine learning with human expert knowledge, to predict successful extubat...
Segmental/lobar pneumonia in children following Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection has a significant threat to the children's health, so early recognition of MP infection is critical to reduce the severity and improve the prognosis of segmental/lob...
Congenital syphilis is a global public health issue, and its diagnostic complexity poses a challenge to early treatment. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a promising technological tool that facilitates the detection and diagnosis of ...
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) opens new horizons to leverage, often unused, information in clinical text. Our study aims to capitalise on this new potential. Specifically, we examine the utility of text embeddings generated by LLMs in...
We use machine learning to identify innovative strategies to target azithromycin to the children with watery diarrhea who are most likely to benefit. Using data from a randomized trial of azithromycin for watery diarrhea (NCT03130114), we develop per...
