The authors prospect the fundus at 69 prematures with birth weight under 1,500 g and at 49 prematures with birth weight over 1,600 g, whose neonatal pathology required intermittent administration of oxygen. The examination were done at the medium age of 5.5-6.9 weeks, when the retinal development is completed. The results show a greater proportion of the nervous systems lesions and of the retinopathy at the prematures with birth weight less than 1,500 g, in similar conditions of oxygen administration and prophylaxis with E-vitamin. It is indicated the opportunity of fundus investigation at all the prematures with very low birth weight and the necessity of prophylactic administration of E-vitamin starting from the first day of life.

Detecting low birth weight is crucial for early identification of at-risk pregnancies which are associated with significant neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality risks. This study presents an efficient and interpretable framework for unsupervised detection of low, very low, and extreme birth weights. While traditional approaches to managing class imbalance require labeled data, our study explores the use of unsupervised learning to detect anomalies indicative of low birth weight scenarios.

Objectives: Sickle cell disease (SCD), which disproportionately affects minorities, increases complications during pregnancy. Severe maternal mortality is increased in women with SCD, including morbidity related to the disease and other nondisease-related complications. It also can have devastating complications for fetuses, with increases in premature birth and low birth weight.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study aims to develop a postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PPSUI) risk prediction model based on an updated definition of PPSUI, using machine learning algorithms. The goal is to identify the best model for early clinical screening to improve screening accuracy and optimize clinical management strategies.
Methods: This prospective study collected data from 1208 postpartum women, with the dataset randomly divided into training and testing sets (8:2).
Purpose: To assess the association between periodontal health and pregnancy or delivery complications in type 1 diabetic (TIDM) and non-diabetic pregnant women.
Materials And Methods: 15 TIDM and 15 non-diabetic primiparous women were enrolled in the prospective case-control study. We compared periodontal status, levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), gestational week of birth, birth weight of a newborn and pregnancy or delivery complications between the groups.
