As an effective way of routine prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely used recently. Biometrics obtained from the fetal segmentation shed light on fetal health monitoring. However, the segmentation in US images has strict require...
With self-supervised learning, both labeled and unlabeled data can be used for representation learning and model pretraining. This is particularly relevant when automating the selection of a patient's fertilized eggs (embryos) during a fertility trea...
All mammalian mothers form some sort of caring bond with their infants that is crucial to the development of their offspring. The Pup Retrieval Test (PRT) is the leading procedure to assess pup-directed maternal care in laboratory rodents, used in a ...
Magnetic resonance imaging offers unrivaled visualization of the fetal brain, forming the basis for establishing age-specific morphologic milestones. However, gauging age-appropriate neural development remains a difficult task due to the constantly c...

Spontaneous miscarriage is a common pregnancy complication. Multiple etiologies have been proposed such as genetic aberrations, endocrinology disorder, and immunologic derangement; however, the relevance of circulating lipidomes to the specific condi...
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), a common pregnancy complication associated with many maternal and neonatal consequences, is increased in mothers with overweight and obesity. Interventions initiated early in pregnancy can reduce the rate of GDM i...
Placenta localization from obstetric 2-D ultrasound (US) imaging is unattainable for many pregnant women in low-income countries because of a severe shortage of trained sonographers. To address this problem, we present a method to automatically detec...
Spatial resolution is a key factor of quantitatively evaluating the quality of magnetic resonance imagery (MRI). Super-resolution (SR) approaches can improve its spatial resolution by reconstructing high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR...

To see if HHV-6 may be a cause of infertility, researchers looked at 18 men and 10 women who had unexplained critical fertility and had at least one prior pregnancy. HHV-6 DNA was discovered in both infertile and fertile peripheral blood mononuclear ...
OBJECTIVE: To perform a series of analyses characterizing an artificial intelligence (AI) model for ranking blastocyst-stage embryos. The primary objective was to evaluate the benefit of the model for predicting clinical pregnancy, whereas the second...
