Open AccessThe effect of early postnatal auditory stimulation on outcomes in preterm infants
Preterm infants are deprived of in utero sensory stimulation during the third trimester, an important period of central nervous system development. As a result, maturational trajectories are often reduced in infa...

Open AccessMonitoring Activity and Gait in Children (MAGIC) using digital health technologies
Digital health technologies (DHTs) can collect gait and physical activity in adults, but limited studies have validated these in children. This study compared gait and physical activity metrics collected using...

Maturation of cardioventilatory physiological trajectories in extremely preterm infants
In extremely preterm infants, persistence of cardioventilatory events is associated with long-term morbidity. Therefore, the objective was to characterize physiologic growth curves of apnea, periodic breathing...

Open AccessReduction in regulatory T cells in preterm newborns is associated with necrotizing enterocolitis
Despite multifactorial pathogenesis, dysregulation of inflammatory immune response may play a crucial role in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are involved in immune tolerance early ...

Hypoxemia events in preterm neonates are associated with urine oxidative biomarkers
Intermittent hypoxemia (IH) events are common in preterm neonates and are associated with adverse outcomes. Animal IH models can induce oxidative stress. We hypothesized that an association exists between IH a...

Plasma serotonergic biomarkers are associated with hypoxemia events in preterm neonates
Hypoxemia is a physiological manifestation of immature respiratory control in preterm neonates, which is likely impacted by neurotransmitter imbalances. We investigated relationships between plasma levels of t...

CT-based identification of pediatric non-Wilms tumors using convolutional neural networks at a single center
Deep learning (DL) is more and more widely used in children’s medical treatment. In this study, we have developed a computed tomography (CT)-based DL model for identifying undiagnosed non-Wilms tumors (nWTs) f...
