Fighting preterm birth with novel surgical tools and biomaterials engineering

Yannick Robert Devaud

With advances in fetal diagnosis and therapy, fetoscopy has become a good option to treat a series of life threatening diseases like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The efficacy of fetoscopy for those types of d ...

Adaptive Frequency Tracking for Robust Heart Rate Estimation Using Wrist-Type Photoplethysmographic Signals During Physical Exercise

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sibylle Fallet

In recent years, wearable photoplethysmographic (PPG) biosensors have emerged as promising tools to monitor heart rate (HR) during physical exercise. However, PPG waveforms are easily corrupted by motion artifacts, rendering HR estimation difficult. In thi ...

Connectomics across development : towards mapping brain structure from birth to childhood

Elda Fischi Gomez

The brain is probably the most complex system of the human body, composed of numerous neural units interconnected at dierent scales. This highly structured architecture provides the ability to communicate, synthesize information and perform the analytical ...

Liver receptor homolog-1 is essential for pregnancy

Kristina Schoonjans

Successful pregnancy requires coordination of an array of signals and factors from multiple tissues. One such element, liver receptor homolog-1 (Lrh-1), is an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates metabolism and hormone synthesis(1). It is strongly expres ...

Prenatally engineered autologous amniotic fluid stem cell-based heart valves in the fetal circulation

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni, Markus Rudin, Chad Brokopp, Marc Farine

Prenatal heart valve interventions aiming at the early and systematic correction of congenital cardiac malformations represent a promising treatment option in maternal-fetal care. However, definite fetal valve replacements require growing implants adaptive ...

An assessment of ductus venosus tapering and wave transmission from the fetal heart

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pressure and flow pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus (DV) but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein (UV). Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in p ...
