Iodine deficiency in pregnancy: Still a health issue for the women of Cassino city, Italy.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: The World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders recommend a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in pregnant women between 150 µg/L and 24...

Relevant Features Selection for Automatic Prediction of Preterm Deliveries from Pregnancy ElectroHysterograhic (EHG) records.

Journal of medical systems
In this study, we proposed an approach able to predict whether a pregnant woman with contractions would give birth earlier than expected (i.e., before the 37 week of gestation (WG)). It only processes non-invasive electrohysterographic (EHG) signals...

Changes in maternal placental growth factor levels during term labour.

Placenta
UNLABELLED: Placental growth factor (PlGF) has important angiogenic function that is critical to placental development. Lower levels of PlGF are associated with fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia and intrapartum fetal compromise. The aim of this...

Collaborative targeted learning using regression shrinkage.

Statistics in medicine
Causal inference practitioners are routinely presented with the challenge of model selection and, in particular, reducing the size of the covariate set with the goal of improving estimation efficiency. Collaborative targeted minimum loss-based estima...

A Deep Learning Solution for Automatic Fetal Neurosonographic Diagnostic Plane Verification Using Clinical Standard Constraints.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
During routine ultrasound assessment of the fetal brain for biometry estimation and detection of fetal abnormalities, accurate imaging planes must be found by sonologists following a well-defined imaging protocol or clinical standard, which can be di...

Nano-topography Enhances Communication in Neural Cells Networks.

Scientific reports
Neural cells are the smallest building blocks of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Information in neural networks and cell-substrate interactions have been heretofore studied separately. Understanding whether surface nano-topography can dir...

Reinforcement learning-based control of drug dosing for cancer chemotherapy treatment.

Mathematical biosciences
The increasing threat of cancer to human life and the improvement in survival rate of this disease due to effective treatment has promoted research in various related fields. This research has shaped clinical trials and emphasized the necessity to pr...

The ResQu Index: A new instrument to appraise the quality of research on birth place.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Place of birth is a known determinant of health care outcomes, interventions and costs. Many studies have examined the maternal and perinatal outcomes when women plan to give birth in hospitals compared with births in birth centres or at h...

SonoNet: Real-Time Detection and Localisation of Fetal Standard Scan Planes in Freehand Ultrasound.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Identifying and interpreting fetal standard scan planes during 2-D ultrasound mid-pregnancy examinations are highly complex tasks, which require years of training. Apart from guiding the probe to the correct location, it can be equally difficult for ...
