The transition from a fetus to a newborn is the most complex physiologic adaptation that
occurs in human experience. Before medicalization of delivery, the transition had to occur …

Transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) results from failure of the newborn to effectively clear
the fetal lung fluid soon after birth. TTN represents the most common etiology of respiratory …

We propose that the respiratory transition at birth passes through three distinct, but
overlapping phases, which reflect different physiological states of the lung. Accordingly …

The physiology of the fetus is fundamentally different from the neonate with both structural
and functional distinctions. The transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life requires rapid …

We provide a selective review of recent progress in the analysis of several physiological and
physiologically inspired fluid-structure interaction problems, our aim being to explain the …

Aim To test whether stabilising very preterm infants while performing physiological-based
cord clamping (PBCC) is at least as effective as the standard approach of time-based …

Umbilical cord clamping at birth has a major impact on an infant's cardiovascular system that
varies in significance depending upon whether the infant has commenced breathing. As …

The transition to life after birth is characterized by major physiological changes in respiratory
and hemodynamic function, which are predominantly initiated by breathing at birth and …

The newborn's transition from fetal to neonatal life includes aeration of the lungs,
establishment of pulmonary gas exchange and changing the fetal circulation into the adult …

Background Caffeine promotes spontaneous breathing by antagonizing adenosine. We
assessed the direct effect of caffeine on respiratory effort in preterm infants at birth. Methods …
