Novel Technologies in Preterm Birth Prediction: Current Advances and Ethical Challenges.

Journal of mother and child
Preterm birth (PTB) remains a significant challenge in modern obstetric practice, posing considerable risks to maternal and neonatal health. Despite advancements in medical technology, the incidence of PTB remains high, and its prediction continues t...

Unlocking the Potential of Wear Time of a Wearable Device to Enhance Postpartum Depression Screening and Detection: Cross-Sectional Study.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder affecting 1 in 7 women after childbirth that is often underscreened and underdetected. If not diagnosed and treated, PPD is associated with long-term developmental challenges in the child and...

Preterm birth trends and risk factors in a multi-ethnic Asian population: A retrospective study from 2017 to 2023, can we screen and predict this?

Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore
INTRODUCTION: Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding Singapore's PTB trends and associated risk factors can inform effective strategies for screening and intervention. This study anal...

Postpartum depression in Northeastern China: a cross-sectional study 6 weeks after giving birth.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent mental health issue that poses significant challenges to maternal wellbeing and infant development. We aimed to determine the prevalence of PPD and to investigate its associated determinants an...

The association between maternal exposure to ten neonicotinoid insecticides and preterm birth in Guangxi, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Preterm birth (PTB) is a primary cause of mortality among newborns globally. Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants has been suggested to increase the PTB risk. Studies have shown NEOs may be linked to adverse birth outcomes. However, the impa...

Investigation of serum neuroserpin levels in pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia: a prospective case-control study.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed ...

Maternal and umbilical cord plasma purine concentrations after oral carbohydrate loading prior to elective Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intake of oral carbohydrates versus standard preoperative fasting prior to elective cesarean delivery on plasma purine levels (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) in...

Combining lipidomics and machine learning to identify lipid biomarkers for nonsyndromic cleft lip with palate.

JCI insight
Nonsyndromic cleft lip with palate (nsCLP) is a common birth defect disease. Current diagnostic methods comprise fetal ultrasound images, which are mainly limited by fetal position and technician skills. We aimed to identify reliable maternal serum l...

TCGAN: Temporal Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network for Fetal ECG Extraction Using Single-Channel Abdominal ECG.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Noninvasive fetal ECG (FECG) monitoring holds significant importance in ensuring the normal development of the fetus. Since FECG is usually submerged by maternal ECG (MECG) and background noise in abdominal ECG (AECG), it is challenging to exactly re...

Prediction of high-risk pregnancy based on machine learning algorithms.

Scientific reports
This study explores the application of machine learning algorithms in predicting high-risk pregnancy among expectant mothers, aiming to construct an efficient predictive model to improve maternal health management. The study is based on the maternal ...
