Prevalence and determinants of thrombocytopenia in newborn unit at Alexandria University Hospital: a three-year report including 1000 patients.

Background: Thrombocytopenia might be the only clinical clue of diseases in neonates. Classification of thrombocytopenia according to severity, onset offset, nadir and duration might help in identification of the etiology.

Aim: This study aims to estimate the prevalence and, identify the determinants and patterns of thrombocytopenia among neonates.

pyPCG: a Python toolbox specialized for phonocardiography analysis.

Objective: Phonocardiography has recently gained popularity in low-cost and remote monitoring, including passive fetal heart monitoring. The development of methods which analyse phonocardiographic data tries to capitalize on this opportunity, and in recent years a multitude of such algorithms and models have been published. In these approaches there is little to no standardization and multiple parts of these models have to be reimplemented on a case-by-case basis.

A Centrifuge Polarizing Microscope (CPM) That Enables the Visualization of Intracellular Structures Under High Centrifugal Forces.

The mitotic spindle consists of aligned filaments of dynamic microtubules that faithfully segregate mitotic chromosomes. This view of the mitotic spindle was initially established by detecting weak birefringence of the aligned filaments, which was realized by developing polarized light microscopy (Inoué S, Chromosoma 5:487-500. https://doi.

Live-cell imaging under centrifugation characterized the cellular force for nuclear centration in the embryo.

Organelles in cells are appropriately positioned, despite crowding in the cytoplasm. However, our understanding of the force required to move large organelles, such as the nucleus, inside the cytoplasm is limited, in part owing to a lack of accurate methods for measurement. We devised a method to apply forces to the nucleus of living embryos to measure the force generated inside the cell.
