BACKGROUND: Acquired neonatal intestinal diseases have an array of overlapping presentations and are often labeled under the dichotomous classification of necrotizing enterocolitis (which is poorly defined) or spontaneous intestinal perforation, hind...
OBJECTIVES: Mechanical ventilation in prematurely born infants, particularly if prolonged, can cause long term complications including bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Timely extubation then is essential, yet predicting its success remains challenging. Ar...

For the care of neonatal infants, abdominal auscultation is considered a safe, convenient, and inexpensive method to monitor bowel conditions. With the help of early automated detection of bowel dysfunction, neonatologists could create a diagnosis pl...
In any healthcare setting, it is important to monitor and control airflow and ventilation with a thermostat. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can be carried out to investigate the airflow and heat transfer taking place inside a neonatal...
BACKGROUND: Rapidly and efficiently identifying critically ill infants for whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a costly and challenging task currently performed by scarce, highly trained experts and is a major bottleneck for application of WGS in the NI...
Robust and rabid mortality prediction is crucial in intensive care units because it is considered one of the critical steps for treating patients with serious conditions. Combining mortality prediction with the length of stay (LoS) prediction adds an...
Continuity of care is achieved in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) through careful documentation of all events of clinical significance, including clinical interventions and routine care events (e.g., feeding, diaper change, weighing, etc.). A...
Premature birth is the primary risk factor in neonatal deaths, with the majority of extremely premature babies cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Mortality risk prediction in this setting can greatly improve patient outcomes and reso...
