COMPARING QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC MARKERS TO ASSESS CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY IN NEWBORN INFANTS: PROTOCOL FOR A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Comparing qualitative and quantitative echocardiographic markers to assess cardiac contractility in newborn infants: protocol for a prospective cohort study

Introduction Neonatologist-performed echocardiography (NPE) is increasingly used in the neonatal intensive care unit, aiding clinicians in enhancing diagnostic precision and guiding treatment decisions based on underlying pathophysiology.Experienced NPE operators typically use visual estimation of the cardiac contractility and if required confirm f

Map as a Service: A Framework for Visualising and Maximising Information Return from Multi-ModalWireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents a distributed information extraction and visualisation service, called the mapping service, for maximising information return from large-scale wireless sensor networks.Such a service would greatly simplify the production of higher-level, information-rich, representations suitable for informing Exteriors other network services an

Biallelic inheritance in a single Pakistani family with intellectual disability implicates new candidate gene RDH14

Abstract In a multi-branch family from Pakistan, individuals presenting with palmoplantar keratoderma segregate in autosomal dominant fashion, and individuals with intellectual disability (ID) segregate in apparent autosomal recessive fashion.Initial attempts to identify the ID locus using homozygosity-by-descent (HBD) mapping were unsuccessful.How
