Artificial Neural Network Analysis of Spontaneous Preterm Labor and Birth and Its Major Determinants.

Journal of Korean medical science
BACKGROUND: Little research based on the artificial neural network (ANN) is done on preterm birth (spontaneous preterm labor and birth) and its major determinants. This study uses an ANN for analyzing preterm birth and its major determinants.

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants in Northern Tanzania and their distribution between breast milk, maternal blood, placenta and cord blood.

Environmental research
Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begins during pregnancy and may cause adverse health effects in the fetus or later in life. The present study aimed to assess prenatal POPs exposure to Tanzanian infants and evaluate the distribu...

Deep-learned placental vessel segmentation for intraoperative video enhancement in fetoscopic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
INTRODUCTION: Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a potentially lethal condition that affects pregnancies in which twins share a single placenta. The definitive treatment for TTTS is fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, a procedure in which pla...

Placental CD4 T cells isolated from preeclamptic women cause preeclampsia-like symptoms in pregnant nude-athymic rats.

Pregnancy hypertension
Preeclampsia (PE), new onset hypertension during pregnancy, is associated with a proinflammatory profile compared to normal pregnancy (NP). We hypothesize that CD4 T cells from PE patient placentas cause PE symptoms during pregnancy compared to those...

Automatic Lacunae Localization in Placental Ultrasound Images via Layer Aggregation.

Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ... International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention
Accurate localization of structural abnormalities is a precursor for image-based prenatal assessment of adverse conditions. For clinical screening and diagnosis of abnormally invasive placenta (AIP), a life-threatening obstetric condition, qualitativ...

Fully automated, real-time 3D ultrasound segmentation to estimate first trimester placental volume using deep learning.

JCI insight
We present a new technique to fully automate the segmentation of an organ from 3D ultrasound (3D-US) volumes, using the placenta as the target organ. Image analysis tools to estimate organ volume do exist but are too time consuming and operator depen...

DeepIGeoS: A Deep Interactive Geodesic Framework for Medical Image Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Accurate medical image segmentation is essential for diagnosis, surgical planning and many other applications. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the state-of-the-art automatic segmentation methods. However, fully automatic results may ...

A Crossover Comparison of Standard and Telerobotic Approaches to Prenatal Sonography.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
OBJECTIVES: To determine the feasibility of a telerobotic approach to remotely perform prenatal sonographic examinations.

Mining the literature for genes associated with placenta-mediated maternal diseases.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Automated literature analysis could significantly speed up understanding of the role of the placenta and the impact of its development and functions on the health of the mother and the child. To facilitate automatic extraction of information about pl...

SegQC: a segmentation network-based framework for multi-metric segmentation quality control and segmentation error detection in volumetric medical images.

Medical image analysis
Quality control (QC) of structures segmentation in volumetric medical images is important for identifying segmentation errors in clinical practice and for facilitating model development by enhancing network performance in semi-supervised and active l...
