Quantitative analysis for grading uterine electromyography activities during labor

Xueya Qian et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify and grade electromyography activity during the latent phase of the first stage of labor and explore its relationship with oxytocin treatment and length of labor. The results showed that electromyography parameters root mean square and power had high predictive values for later oxytocin treatment, and patients with low-grade electromyography were more likely to need oxytocin treatment. Electromyography grading is very important for its clinical promotion and use, and it could lead to more reliable analyses of oxytocin treatments and eventually to more effective interventions to prevent prolonged labor.

Network Theory Based EHG Signal Analysis and its Application in Preterm Prediction

Jinshan Xu et al.

Summary: This study developed a high-precision classifier for accurately classifying term and preterm pregnancies based on the analysis of features extracted from electrohysterogram (EHG) signals. The classifier demonstrated improved performance in identifying essential frequency components of uterine activities related to preterm birth, with sensitivity, specificity, overall accuracy, and auc values reaching as high as 0.89, 0.93, 0.91, and 0.97, respectively.

Bio-process inspired characterization of pregnancy evolution using entropy and its application in preterm birth detection

Hangxiao Lou et al.

Summary: This study proposes a method for the early diagnosis of preterm births by using machine learning to process the Electrohysterogram (EHG) signals. Entropy features extracted from the time-frequency expansion of the original EHG signal are used to characterize uterine activities, and the evolution speed of the uterus towards delivery is represented by rescaling these entropy features with the recording time. The Gaussian Naive Bayes classifier trained using the most relevant frequency components selected by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) achieves high accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC values in predicting preterm births.

Combination of Feature Selection and Resampling Methods to Predict Preterm Birth Based on Electrohysterographic Signals from Imbalance Data

Felix Nieto-del-Amor et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effect of combining feature selection and resampling methods for predicting preterm labor using EHG. The best strategy involved undersampling the majority class of the validation dataset to 1:1 during feature selection and did not involve subsequent resampling of the training data. This approach achieved better performance than current techniques used in clinical practice.

Review and Study of Uterine Bioelectrical Waveforms and Vector Analysis to Identify Electrical and Mechanosensitive Transduction Control Mechanisms During Labor in Pregnant Patients

R. E. Garfield et al.

Summary: This study analyzed uterine electromyographic signals in different stages of labor and found significant differences in the amplitudes of slow waves and fast waves produced by uterine muscle. Utilizing uterine vector analysis helped to understand the mechanism of uterine contractions and may provide a potential indicator for delivery time and gestational pathologies.

Overly optimistic prediction results on imbalanced data: a case study of flaws and benefits when applying over-sampling

Gilles Vandewiele et al.

Summary: Although information extracted from electrohysterography recordings could provide valuable insights into estimating the risk of preterm birth, recent studies have reported overly optimistic results due to a methodological flaw. Specifically, applying over-sampling before partitioning the data could lead to biased results, impacting the predictive performance of related studies.

Leveraging recent advances in deep learning for audio-Visual emotion recognition

Liam Schoneveld et al.

Summary: Emotional expressions communicate our emotional state or attitude to others through verbal and non-verbal communication. Understanding complex human behavior can be achieved by studying physical features from various modalities, such as facial expressions, vocal cues, and body gestures. Recent research has focused on multi-modal emotion recognition for human behavior analysis, which has led to significant advancements in the field.

Realistic preterm prediction based on optimized synthetic sampling of EHG signal

Jinshan Xu et al.

Summary: Preterm labor is a major concern in neonatal health, and the use of synthetic samples in machine learning models shows promise in improving predictive accuracy. By quantifying the impact of synthetic samples, researchers were able to develop a more effective method for detecting preterm births while reducing bias and maintaining feature importance. The proposed approach was validated through numerical tests on real-world data, showcasing its effectiveness in improving prediction accuracy.

Multi-Modal Uterine-Activity Measurements for Prediction of Embryo Implantation by Machine Learning

Federica Sammali et al.

Summary: In this study, a new method was proposed to predict the success of IVF by analyzing quantitative features extracted from EHG and TVUS recordings using machine learning. The results showed that KNN, SVM, and GMM machine learning models achieved high accuracy in different phases, with contraction frequency, unnormalized first moment, and standard deviation being the best feature selections.
