Intrauterine or fetal growth restriction describes the pregnancy complication of pathological …

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 …

The minimally—or non-invasive detection of circulating tumor-derived components in
biofluids, such as blood, liquid biopsy is a revolutionary approach with significant potential …

The human brain rapidly develops during the final weeks of gestation and in the first two
years following birth. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a unique in vivo imaging technique …

Background This study aimed to investigate the effect of nutrition and growth during the first
4 weeks after birth on cerebral volumes and white matter maturation at term equivalent age …

Background Preterm infants are at high risk of diffuse white matter injury and adverse
neurodevelopmental outcome. The multiple hit hypothesis suggests that the risk of white …

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is principally caused by suboptimal placental function. Poor
placental function causes an under supply of nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus …

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a pregnancy complication. Multiple studies
have connected FGR to poor cognitive development, behavior disorders, and academic …

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) describes a condition of failed fetal weight gain based on
genetic potential and gestational age. FGR is often misquoted as being equivalent to small …

Background It is well established that preterm infants have altered brain development
compared with full-term (FT;≥ 37 weeks' gestational age [GA]) infants, however the perinatal …
