This book investigates
pathogenetic mechanisms implicated in fetal brain injury, sleep apnea, as well
as covering the field of neonatal gastroenterology and nutrition care. It
stimulates further research by fully acquainting the reader with the current
knowledge and future perspectives in the sphere of an epidemiologic study for
low birthweight, and the introduction of an effective, evidence-based
innovational newborn program of care.
