This paper asks how bioethics navigates, and should navigate, value pluralism in the increasingly global spaces in which bioethics operates. We juxtapose the ethical approaches suggested by East Asian societies, drawing primarily on Confucian ethics,...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model in estimating fetal brain age from MRI scans during second and third trimesters.
Although contemporary practice in in vitro fertilization (IVF) favors embryo transfer at blastocyst stage, several centres worldwide employ cleavage-stage Day-3 embryo transfers. The advantage of cultures extended to Day-5 and beyond, is to ensure th...
Maternal lipid levels change dynamically during gestation to support normal fetal growth. To obtain a detailed footprint of these changes and their differences in pregnancies with preterm or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, we analyzed 641 l...

BACKGROUND: The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to sperm selection during Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedures represents one of the most innovative advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Traditional sperm selec...
Continuous fetal movement monitoring in late pregnancy may improve fetal wellbeing and pregnancy outcomes. While fetal movements can be visualized with ultrasound, it is intermittent and limited to clinical settings. Inertial measurement units may en...
BACKGROUND: High-quality antenatal care (ANC) is defined as four or more antenatal visits with at least one to a medically trained provider, measurement of weight and blood pressure, testing of blood and urine, and receipt of information on potential...
Machine learning models are increasingly applied to assisted reproductive technologies (ART), yet most studies rely on conventional algorithms with limited optimization. This proof-of-concept study investigates whether a hybrid Logistic Regression-Ar...
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT-4o are increasingly utilized in prenatal care. However, their reliability and clinical applicability for healthcare providers in first-trimester screening remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate th...
OBJECTIVES: It remains debated whether gestational hypertension (GH) and pre-eclampsia (PE) are distinct entities or different spectra of the same disease. Currently, comparative studies of risk factors for GH and PE in the same population are limite...
