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...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and other chromosomal abnormalities (OCA) at 11-13 weeks' gestation using computational intelligence classification methods.
BACKGROUND: The usage of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for genome-enabled classifications and establishing genome-phenotype correlations have been investigated more extensively over the past few years. The reason for this is that ANNs are good ap...
BACKGROUND: Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone level with a normal thyroxin level without signs or symptoms of hypothyroidism. Although it is well accepted that overt hypothyroidism has a deleterious impa...

The objective of this study is to examine the potential value of using machine learning techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN) schemes for the noninvasive estimation, at 11-13 weeks of gestation, the risk for euploidy, trisomy 21 (T21), a...

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review the indications, rationale, and technique for abdominal cerclage, specifically focusing on a laparoscopic approach to this procedure during the first trimester of pregnancy.
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis, close follow-up and timely delivery constitute the main elements for appropriate detection and management of Fetal Growth Disorders (FGD). We hypothesized that fetoplacental FGD-associated alterations can be detected in c...
BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications and seriously threatens the health of mothers and offspring. Neonicotinoids (NEOs) is a new class of pesticide and widely used worldwide. Prenatal NEOs ...
IMPORTANCE: Accurate assessment of gestational age (GA) is essential to good pregnancy care but often requires ultrasonography, which may not be available in low-resource settings. This study developed a deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) mod...
