OverviewAI-generated summary
Nafisa K. Dajani's research centers on maternal and fetal health, with a particular focus on pregnancy complications and their impact on newborns. Her work investigates conditions such as polyhydramnios, fetal intracranial hemorrhage, and the effects of maternal diabetes on infant cardiovascular development. Dajani also explores novel diagnostic tools, including magnetoencephalography for assessing fetal brain activity and diagnosing fetal seizures. Her publications address nutritional interventions for pregnant individuals with diabetes and review topics like gastric and esophageal cancer during pregnancy. She has authored 42 publications with 515 citations and an h-index of 13. Dajani collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Everett F. Magann, Nirvana Manning, Megan Pagan, and Kaitlyn H. Taylor, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
