Deep-learned placental vessel segmentation for intraoperative video enhancement in fetoscopic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
INTRODUCTION: Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a potentially lethal condition that affects pregnancies in which twins share a single placenta. The definitive treatment for TTTS is fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, a procedure in which pla...

Arterial stiffness in normal pregnancy as assessed by digital pulse wave analysis by photoplethysmography - A longitudinal study.

Pregnancy hypertension
INTRODUCTION: It might in the future be valuable to screen for increased maternal arterial stiffness, i.e. low compliance, since it is associated with development of hypertensive complications in pregnancy. Digital pulse wave analysis (DPA) is an eas...

Placental CD4 T cells isolated from preeclamptic women cause preeclampsia-like symptoms in pregnant nude-athymic rats.

Pregnancy hypertension
Preeclampsia (PE), new onset hypertension during pregnancy, is associated with a proinflammatory profile compared to normal pregnancy (NP). We hypothesize that CD4 T cells from PE patient placentas cause PE symptoms during pregnancy compared to those...

Use of Topical Lidocaine Gel Plus Paracervical Blockade vs. Paracervical Blockade Alone for Pain Management During Manual Vacuum Aspiration: ADouble-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology Canada : JOGC = Journal d'obstetrique et gynecologie du Canada : JOGC
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if the use of lidocaine gel applied to the cervix prior to manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) in addition to paracervical blockade is useful in reducing the level of pain associated with the procedure.

Effect of Using Two Cryopreservation Methods on Viability and Fertility of Frozen Stallion Sperm.

Journal of equine veterinary science
Studies involving different methods and techniques of cryopreservation and its interactions with the conception rates in artificial insemination (AI) programs are reported in the literature. This study evaluated the sperm kinetics, plasma membrane in...

Machine-learning-based automatic identification of fetal abdominal circumference from ultrasound images.

Physiological measurement
OBJECTIVE: Obstetricians mainly use ultrasound imaging for fetal biometric measurements. However, such measurements are cumbersome. Hence, there is urgent need for automatic biometric estimation. Automated analysis of ultrasound images is complicated...

Non-surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Best practice & research. Clinical endocrinology & metabolism
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the options available for patients with primary hyperparathyrodism (PHPT) not undergoing parathyroidectomy (PTx). Adequate hydration should be recommended in all patients. Calcium intake should not be restric...

Automatic Lacunae Localization in Placental Ultrasound Images via Layer Aggregation.

Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ... International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention
Accurate localization of structural abnormalities is a precursor for image-based prenatal assessment of adverse conditions. For clinical screening and diagnosis of abnormally invasive placenta (AIP), a life-threatening obstetric condition, qualitativ...
