1. Estimating Brain Maturation in Very Preterm Neonates : An Explainable Machine Learning Approach
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)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

2. Simulations and modeling of light propagation in biological tissue
University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska HögskolaAbstract : 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.

3. A summary of research on the association between periodontitis and pre-eclampsia, pre-term birth and low birth weight
University essay from Umeå universitet/TandläkarutbildningAbstract : ABSTRACT Background: In the late 1980s the possibility was raised that periodontal infections could constitute maternal infections so it could influence adversely birth outcomes. Adversely birth outcomes such as preterm infants (born before 37 weeks of gestation). Low birth weight (LBW) (<2500g) is also usual with preterm infants. READ MORE

4. Movement initiation and execution in 6 - 8 year old children born preterm: effects of gestational age and physical activity
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologiAbstract : The purpose of this study was to explore differences in movement initiation and execution, and their associations with amount of physical activity (PA) and cognitive abilities, in 6 to 8 year old children born PT compared to peers born at term. The sample consisted of in total 78 children divided in subgroups, 16 born very preterm (VPT), 24 born moderate preterm (MPT) and 38 age matched controls born at term (FT) with no diagnosed cognitive or motor impairments.

5. Optimization of measurement geometry for GASMAS lung function monitoring of infants
University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : A technique for measuring oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants is one of the latest advancements in neonatal care. It is called GAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) and enables non-invasive, bed-side monitoring of the lung function of our most fragile patients, preterm newborns. READ MORE
