Electroencephalography (EEG) is essential for studying infant brain activity but is highly susceptible to artifacts due to infants' movements and physiological variability. Manual artifact detection is labor-intensive and subjective, underscoring the...
Changes in the pace of neurodevelopment are key indicators of atypical maturation during early life. Unfortunately, reliable prognostic tools rely on assessments of cognitive and behavioral skills that develop towards the second year of life and afte...
UNLABELLED: A new lung sound analysis software program has been developed. It can automatically select a typical lung sound spectrogram and calculate lung sound parameters using machine learning programs. This study aimed to clarify lung sound charac...
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 ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a severe hematological malignancy characterized by high recurrence rates, especially in pediatric patients, highlighting the need for reliable prognostic markers. This study proposes methylation signatures associated w...
INTRODUCTION: Pneumonia is the leading cause of child morbidity and mortality and accounts for 5.6 million under-five child deaths. Pneumonia has a significant impact on the quality of life, the country's economy, and the survival of children. Theref...
IMPORTANCE: Unrecognized deterioration among hospitalized children is associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity. The current approach to pediatric risk stratification is fragmented, as each hospital unit (emergency, ward, or intensive ca...
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...
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...
