  1. 1. Estimating Brain Maturation in Very Preterm Neonates : An Explainable Machine Learning Approach

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Patrik Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Preterm Neonates; Brain Maturation; aEEG; Explainable Machine Learning; Feature Importance;

    Abstract : Introduction: Assessing brain maturation in preterm neonates is essential for the health of the neonates. Machine learning methods have been introduced as a prospective assessment tool for neonatal electroencephalogram(EEG) signals. READ MORE

  3. 2. Simulations and modeling of light propagation in biological tissue

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska Högskola

    Author : Emma Hjörneby; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The GASMAS technique has previously proven useful for examining and measuring the oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants. GASMAS can distinguish absorption by one gas from the bulk absorption of the surrounding media, and can provide an instant, non-invasive and non-destructive way of examining lungs, and diagnosing dangerous conditions such as pneumothorax.

  4. 3. Ambient temperature and risk of preterm birth in three Nepalese regions from March 2019 to May 2020: a retrospective secondary data analysis using distributed lag non-linear models

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Katharina Albert; [2022]
    Keywords : preterm birth; ambient temperature; neonatology; Nepal; DLNM;

    Abstract : Background: Preterm birth is a global health problem which causes significant short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Pathophysiology is not entirely clear and due to climate change environmental risk factors, such as extreme temperatures, should be considered as emerging and modifiable risk factors. READ MORE

  5. 4. Histological evaluations of mesenchymal stem cell therapy in a preterm IVH rabbit model.

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Emma Tordebrand; [2022]
    Keywords : histochemistry; immunofluorescence; immunohistochemistry; intraventricular hemorrhage; mesenchymal stem cells; peroxidase stain; rabbit brain; histokemi; immunfluorescens; immunhistokemi; intraventrikulär blödning; kaninhjärna; mesenkymala stamceller; peroxidasfärgning;

    Abstract : Human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has shown neuroprotective effects and improvement on recovery from neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). This study focused on histological evaluations of human amniotic fluid MSC therapy during early prenatal life in a preterm IVH rabbit model. READ MORE

  6. 5. Predicting Birth Outcome Using Cardiotocography and Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Josefine Öder; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Cardiotography, CTG, is a monitoring method that is commonly used during childbirth. The method measures the fetal heart rate, FHR, alongside the uterine contractions, TOCO. Clinicians use this tool to evaluate the health of the infant, and to observe changes which might imply hypoxia, lack of oxygen supply, for the fetus. READ MORE
