Objective: Fetal cerebellar abnormalities are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and structural brain malformations. Accurate and early diagnosis is crucial for prenatal counseling and planning postnatal interventions. While prenatal ultrasound is a key tool for detecting fetal brain abnormalities, variations in diagnostic accuracy across studies necessitate a systematic evaluation of its effectiveness in diagnosing cerebellar abnormalities.

Predictive coding and attention in developmental cognitive neuroscience and perspectives for neurodevelopmental disorders.

Dev Cogn Neurosci

January 2025

Normandie Univ, UNICAEN, INSERM, COMETE, GIP CYCERON, Caen 14000, France. Electronic address:

Sensory prediction and repetition suppression are closely related cognitive mechanisms that allow the brain to form predictions about the environment, and guide perception in synergy with attention. Predictive coding is a theory of the fundamental role of predictive mechanisms in brain functions. Authors have proposed a central role of predictive impairments in autism and possibly other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Prenatal metal(loid) exposure and preterm birth: a systematic review of the epidemiologic evidence.

J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol

January 2025

Department of Environmental Sciences & Engineering, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is a common pregnancy complication associated with significant neonatal morbidity. Prenatal exposure to environmental chemicals, including toxic and/or essential metal(loid)s, may contribute to PTB risk.

Objective: We aimed to summarize the epidemiologic evidence of the associations among levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) assessed during the prenatal period and PTB or gestational age at delivery; to assess the quality of the literature and strength of evidence for an effect for each metal; and to provide recommendations for future research.

Quantification and profiling of urine cells by integrated cytocentrifugation and infrared spectroscopy.

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc

January 2025

Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Valencia, Dr. Moliner 50, 46100 Burjassot, Spain. Electronic address:

The presence of cells in urine and in particular White Blood Cells (WBCs) is often associated with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and other diseases. Non-invasive screening of WBCs requires the development of cost-effective point of care diagnostic tools. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has the potential to identify and quantify cells in urine.

Effect of Model of Neonatal Care on Neurodevelopment at the 18 Month Follow-Up in Moderate and Late Preterm Infants.

J Clin Med

January 2025

Faculty of Nursing and Department of Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, Alberta Health Services, University of Calgary, 2500 University Drive NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada.

Preterm birth, even for moderate or late preterm infants (MLPIs), is associated with longer-term developmental challenges. Family Integrated Care (FICare) models of care, like Alberta FICare, aim to improve outcomes by integrating parents into neonatal care during hospitalization. This follow-up study examined the association between models of care (Alberta FICare versus standard care) and risk of child developmental delay at 18 months corrected age (CA) and explored the influences of maternal psychosocial distress.
