Journal Article
Jinsakul, N., Tsai, C., Tsai, C., & Wu, P. (2019). Enhancement of Deep Learning in Image Classification Performance Using Xception with the Swish Activation Function for Colorectal Polyp Preliminary Screening. Mathematics, 7(12), Article 1170. https://doi.org/10.3390/math7121170

One of the leading forms of cancer is colorectal cancer (CRC), which is responsible for increasing mortality in young people. The aim of this paper is to provide an experimental modification of deep learning of Xception with Swish and assess the poss...

Chorionic and amniotic placental membrane‐derived stem cells, from gestational diabetic women, have distinct insulin secreting cell differentiation capacities (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, L., Forsyth, N. R., & Wu, P. (2020). Chorionic and amniotic placental membrane‐derived stem cells, from gestational diabetic women, have distinct insulin secreting cell differentiation capacities. Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 14(2), 243-256. https://doi.org/10.1002/term.2988

Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and their offspring, are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Chorionic (CMSCs) and amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) derived from placental membranes provide a source of autologous stem ce...

Dietary components and risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: A review of evidence from meta-analyses (2019)
Journal Article
Watson, L., Loke, Y., Mallen, C., Mamas, M., Gulati, M., Kwok, C., …Wu, P. (2019). Dietary components and risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: A review of evidence from meta-analyses. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 26(13), 1415-1429. https://doi.org/10.1177/2047487319843667

Aims The optimal diet for cardiovascular health is controversial. The aim of this review is to summarize the highest level of evidence and rank the risk associated with each individual component of diet within its food group. Methods and results...

Planned early delivery or expectant management for late preterm pre-eclampsia (PHOENIX): a randomised controlled trial (2019)
Journal Article
Wu. (2019). Planned early delivery or expectant management for late preterm pre-eclampsia (PHOENIX): a randomised controlled trial. The Lancet, 394(10204), 1181 - 1190. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2819%2931963-4

BACKGROUND: In women with late preterm pre-eclampsia, the optimal time to initiate delivery is unclear because limitation of maternal disease progression needs to be balanced against infant complications. The aim of this trial was to determine whethe... Read More about Planned early delivery or expectant management for late preterm pre-eclampsia (PHOENIX): a randomised controlled trial.

Pregnancy as a Predictor of Maternal Cardiovascular Disease: The era of CardioObstetrics (2019)
Journal Article
Mamas, & Wu. (2019). Pregnancy as a Predictor of Maternal Cardiovascular Disease: The era of CardioObstetrics. Journal of Women's Health, 1037-1050. https://doi.org/10.1089/jwh.2018.7480

Globally, cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in women accounting for 1 in 3 deaths. There remains an under recognition of cardiovascular disease as well as a lack of awareness of risk in women. Promotion of cardiovascular di...

Chorionic and amniotic membrane-derived stem cells have distinct, and gestational diabetes mellitus independent, proliferative, differentiation, and immunomodulatory capacities (2019)
Journal Article
Wu. (2019). Chorionic and amniotic membrane-derived stem cells have distinct, and gestational diabetes mellitus independent, proliferative, differentiation, and immunomodulatory capacities. Stem Cell Research, 40, Article 101537. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scr.2019.101537

Placental membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with the advantages of being non-invasive and having fewer ethical issues, are a promising source for cell therapy. Gestational diabetes (GDM) alters the uterine environment and may affect the...
