The consequences of fetal growth restriction on brain structure and neurodevelopmental outcome
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a significant complication of pregnancy describing a fetus
that does not grow to full potential due to pathological compromise. FGR affects 3–9% of …

Cardiorespiratory consequences of intrauterine growth restriction: Influence of timing, severity and duration of hypoxaemia
At birth, weight of the neonate is used as a marker of the 9-month journey as a fetus. Those
neonates born less than the 10th centile for their gestational age are at risk of being …
