Reframing antepartum and intrapartum surveillance.

The original goal of electronic fetal monitoring was to reduce stillbirths. It worked. Then the mission expanded to reducing neurologic impairment including cerebral palsy.

SeqImprove: Machine-Learning-Assisted Curation of Genetic Circuit Sequence Information.

The progress and utility of synthetic biology is currently hindered by the lengthy process of studying literature and replicating poorly documented work. Reconstruction of crucial design information through post hoc curation is highly noisy and error-prone. To combat this, author participation during the curation process is crucial.

A contact binary satellite of the asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh.

Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques (that is, YORP, short for the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack effect) to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830) Dinkinesh is a small asteroid orbiting the Sun near the inner edge of the main asteroid belt with a heliocentric semimajor axis of 2.19 AU; its S-type spectrum is typical of bodies in this part of the main belt.

Etiology and Ontogeny of Cerebral Palsy: Implications for Practice and Research.

Cerebral palsy (CP) has been recognized as a group of neurologic disorders with varying etiologies and ontogenies. While a percentage of CP cases arises during labor, the expanded use of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) to include prevention of CP has resulted in decades of vastly increased interventions that have not significantly reduced the incidence of CP for infants born at term in the USA. Litigation alleging that poor obstetrical practice caused CP in most of these affected children has led to contentious arguments regarding the actual etiologies of this condition and often resulted in substantial monetary awards for plaintiffs.
