A study by UPF and BCNatal opens the door to designing therapies to improve lung development in growth-restricted ... - EurekAlert

The study, carried out by the BCNatal Fetal Medicine Research Center (Hospital Clínic Barcelona and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu) and the UPF BCN MedTech Research Unit, provides new scientific evidence that shows that problems with lung development in a fetus that grows below normal levels are related to vascular resistance. Using AI, computational modelling and ultrasound techniques, the resistance of the lungs of normal and growth-restricted fetuses and how it changes when the mother receives extra oxygen has been analysed and compared.
