Recent advances in fetal imaging open the door to enhanced detection of fetal disorders and computer-assisted surgical planning. However, precise segmentation of womb's tissues is challenging due to motion artifacts caused by fetal movements and mate...
Cortisol is involved in the initiation of parturition and we hypothesized that increased maternal cortisol release advances the onset of foaling. Transport is a stressor for horses and induces an increase in cortisol release. To determine stress effe...

Fetal echocardiography (FE) is a widely used medical examination for early diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). The apical four-chamber view (A4C) is an important view among early FE images. Accurate segmentation of crucial anatomical structu...
The objectives of this study were to determine the plasma profile of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and its association with the formation of supplementary corpus luteum (CL) and plasma progesterone concentrations in embryo transfer Hokkaido nat...
Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome is commonly treated with minimally invasive laser surgery in fetoscopy. The inter-foetal membrane is used as a reference to find abnormal anastomoses. Membrane identification is a challenging task due to small field ...

OBJECTIVE: We describe a novel machine-learning based method to estimate total Hemoglobin (Hb) using photoplethysmograms (PPGs) acquired non-invasively.
Obstetric ultrasound examination of physiological parameters has been mainly used to estimate the fetal weight during pregnancy and baby weight before labour to monitor fetal growth and reduce prenatal morbidity and mortality. However, the problem is...
