The effect of mindfulness-based intervention on neurobehavioural functioning and its association with white-matter microstructural changes in preterm young adolescents

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Vanessa Siffredi, Petra Susan Hüppi

Very preterm (VPT) young adolescents are at high risk of executive, behavioural and socio-emotional difficulties. Previous research has shown significant evidence of the benefits of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on these abilities. This study aims t ...

Corpus callosum structural characteristics in very preterm children and adolescents: Developmental trajectory and relationship to cognitive functioning

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Vanessa Siffredi

Previous studies suggest that structural alteration of the corpus callosum, i.e., the largest white matter commissural pathway, occurs after a preterm birth in the neonatal period and lasts across development. The present study aims to unravel corpus callo ...

Through-Plane Super-Resolution With Autoencoders in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Developing Human Brain

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Gabriel Girard, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Hamza Kebiri

Fetal brain diffusion magnetic resonance images (MRI) are often acquired with a lower through-plane than in-plane resolution. This anisotropy is often overcome by classical upsampling methods such as linear or cubic interpolation. In this work, we employ a ...

An automatic multi-tissue human fetal brain segmentation benchmark using the Fetal Tissue Annotation Dataset

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Hamza Kebiri

It is critical to quantitatively analyse the developing human fetal brain in order to fully understand neurodevelopment in both normal fetuses and those with congenital disorders. To facilitate this analysis, automatic multi-tissue fetal brain segmentation ...

Device and method for pre-term birth risk assessment

Carlotta Guiducci, Erick Antonio Garcia Cordero, David Baud, Gloria Porro

The invention relates to a vaginal fluid monitoring device embedded into a feminine sanitary pad, said device comprising a stack of the following elements: An absorbent layer (100) configured to be in proximity to, and collect, a vaginal fluid; and A biose ...

Gastric insufflation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A study in human cadavers

Introduction: Bag-valve-mask ventilation is the first-line ventilation method during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Risks include excessive volume delivery and gastric insufflation, the latter increasing the risk of pneumonia. The efficacy of ventila ...

Maternal glucose homeostasis is impaired in mouse models of gestational cholestasis

Kristina Schoonjans

Women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a disorder characterised by raised serum bile acids, are at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus and have impaired glucose tolerance whilst cholestatic. FXR and TGR5 are modulato ...

A congenital case of intermediate-type fetal rhabdomyoma in an Ardi goat kid

Alessandra Piersigilli, Ahmed Ali

A 5-year-old pregnant Ardi goat presented with dystocia of 36h duration. Vaginal examination showed normal fetal presentation; however, a large neck mass prevented vaginal delivery and cesarean section was performed to deliver the stillborn kid. A well-cir ...

Structural Brain Network Reorganization and Social Cognition Related to Adverse Perinatal Condition from Infancy to Early Adolescence

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez

Adverse conditions during fetal life have been associated to both structural and functional changes in neurodevelopment from the neonatal period to adolescence. In this study, connectomics was used to assess the evolution of brain networks from infancy to ...

Transcriptomic regulations in oligodendroglial and microglial cells related to brain damage following fetal growth restriction

Yohan Van de Looij, Maxime Olivier Baud

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major complication of human pregnancy, frequently resulting from placental vascular diseases and prenatal malnutrition, and is associated with adverse neurocognitive outcomes throughout life. However, the mechanisms link ...

Definition and quantification of acute inflammatory white matter injury in the immature brain by MRI/MRS at high magnetic field

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major risk factor for both perinatal and long-term morbidity. Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) is a major milk glycoprotein considered as a pleiotropic functional nutrient. The impact of maternal supplementat ...

Does Cancer Start in the Womb? Altered Mammary Gland Development and Predisposition to Breast Cancer due to in Utero Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors

Cathrin Brisken

We are now witnessing a resurgence of theories of development and carcinogenesis in which the environment is again being accepted as a major player in phenotype determination. Perturbations in the fetal environment predispose an individual to disease that ...

Developmental and metabolic brain alterations in rats exposed to bisphenol A during gestation and lactation

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

In recent years, considerable research has focused on the biological effect of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been implicated as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) due to its ability to mimic the action of endogenous estrogenic h ...

Brain Surface Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Images of the Fetus

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer, Dominique Zosso, Nawal Houhou, Damien Ferrario

In this work we present a method for the image analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of fetuses. Our goal is to segment the brain surface from multiple volumes (axial, coronal and sagittal acquisitions) of a fetus. To this end we propose a two-step ...
