Prediction of birth weights from body weights of newborns.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of prediction of birth weights from body weights of newborns till six days after birth. DESIGN Prospective follow-up. SETTING Four villages near Hyderabad. METHODS Weights of 47 newborns were recorded daily from the day of birth for seven days. The birth weights were regressed on the weights of the babies taken on the 2nd day to the 7th day.

متن کاملIncidence of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in Low Birth Weight Newborns
Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common cause of blindness and accounts for up to 10% of childhood blindness in developed countries. Also Before surfactant became available in the NICU, an incidence of 11% to 60% was reported in the VLBW population. However, there are few studies on the incidence of ROP among low-birth-weight (LBW) infants in Iran and the aim of this study is d...
متن کاملAction-oriented colour-coded foot length calliper for primary healthcare workers as a proxy for birth weight & gestational period
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Foot length of the newborn has a good correlation with the birth weight and is recommended to be used as a proxy measure. There can be variations in the measurement of foot length. A study was, therefore, carried out to develop a foot length calliper for accurate foot length measurement and to find cut-off values for birth weight and gestational age groups to be used by ...

متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
