» New insights into fetal pain
31/05/19 00:00 from Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
Fetal pain is difficult to assess, because the main feature needed to spot pain, is the subject's capability of declaring it. Nonetheless, much can be affirmed about this issue. In this review we first report the epochs of the developmen...

» Impact of maternal intrapartum antibiotics on the initial oral microbiome of neonates
02/05/19 00:00 from Pediatrics & Neonatology
Prior studies have proposed that maternal intrapartum antibiotic exposure shapes the gut microbiota and, subsequently the child's health. However, the effect of maternal intrapartum antibiotic exposure and its influence on the developmen...

» Secular trends of birthweight in boys from 1950 to 2010
23/02/19 00:00 from Pediatrics & Neonatology
Birthweight is an indicator of fetal development and intrauterine conditions and is associated with future health outcomes. Secular birthweight trends prior to the 1970s are mostly unknown. Our aim was to explore secular birthweight tren...

» Maternal HBeAg positivity and viremia associated with umbilical cord blood hepatitis B viremia
