Developing innovative methods for measuring body temperature in preterm infants to enhance prediction of late-onset sepsis
(2024)Background and aim: Significant progress has been made in employing machine learning algorithms to predict late-onset sepsis (LOS). Despite the availability of body temperature measurements, it is underutilized due to ... -
Hereditary Background Of Retinal Dysplasia In The Labrador Retriever
(2024)Retinal dysplasia (RD) is a developmental abnormality, which can cause varying degrees of vision impairment and even blindness. This study investigates the prevalence and the possible hereditary pattern of RD among Labradors ... -
Stiffness, strain and blood volume, unraveling three (mechanical) properties of the brain
(2024)Mechanical properties of the brain can be indicators for different kinds of brain diseases. Separate measurements of different mechanical properties exist, however, little is known about their mutual influence. This study ... -
