Antidepressants increase proliferation of neuronal progenitor cells and expression of brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus. We investigated the role of BDNF …

Recent studies have indicated that exogenously administered neurotrophins produce
antidepressant-like behavioral effects. We have here investigated the role of endogenous brain-…

Introduction: Accurate early risk prediction for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) would
target intervention and prevention in women at the highest risk. We evaluated novel biomarker …

Modelling the risk of abnormal pregnancy-related outcomes such as stillbirth and preterm
birth have been proposed in the past. Commonly they utilize maternal demographic and …

Objective Minority oversampling is a standard approach used for adjusting the ratio between
the classes on imbalanced data. However, established methods often provide modest …

Aim Develop a first trimester risk prediction model for GDM based on maternal clinical
characteristics in a large metropolitan multi-ethnic population and compare its performance to that …

Objective: We examined whether first trimester aneuploidy and pre-eclampsia screening
markers predict gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a large multi-ethnic cohort and the …

Quality of randomness in generating random numbers is an attribute manifested by a
sufficiently random process, and a sufficiently large sample size. To assess it, various statistical …

BACKGROUND: Current screening methods for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are
insufficient in detecting the risk of GDM in the first trimester of the pregnancy. Recent …

Prenatal screening generates a great amount of data that is used for predicting risk of various
disorders. Prenatal risk assessment is based on multiple clinical variables and overall …
