By: Monica Leff, M.D., obstetrician & gynecologist, Chair, Women’s Division, MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Each year, January marks National Birth Defects Awareness Month, a time ...

So the abnormalities they can cause in newborns are neural tube defects and limb malformations. “Also, it can cause low birth weight, meaning that the baby will be born below the genetic ...

However, how birth-associated metabolic changes affect the fate of tissue stem cells, especially NSCs, is largely unknown. Sawamoto's group focused on metabolic changes in radial glia (RG), the ...

A research group from Nagoya City University has elucidated the significance of birth in the maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs).The findings of the study are published in Science Advances.

BUT ON HER CHEST IS A SCAR THAT TELLS A SCARY START TO HER YOUNG LIFE. IT WILL MAKE ME SUPER EMOTIONAL, BUT SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TWO DIFFERENT BIRTH DEFECTS. DOCTORS FOUND A HOLE IN QUINCY’S HEART ...

The most common neural tube defect is spina bifida. This birth defect happens when the baby’s neural tube doesn’t close all the way, and as a result, the backbone, which is supposed to protect ...

To enhance quality control and safety, nondestructive testing (NDT) methods, such as active infrared thermography (AIRT), are used for defect detection. In this study, we propose a physics-informed ...

Birth rates in Italy have been falling for years but the problem is particularly acute in small, often isolated communities where the population is ageing and there are no longer couples of ...

This article proposes a high precision defect sizing method for the CI technique based on a physics informed neural network. First, the physical model of the CI technique for the detection of defects ...
