متن کاملFracture of the femur, fish odour, and copper deficiency in a preterm infant.
A preterm baby boy with blood and bone changes of copper deficiency is described. Copper deficiency was suspected after fracture of the left femur during examination of the hip joint.

With respect to the former, although many neonatal intensive care units are brightly and continuously lit, there is a trend to employ lower levels of illumination and to introduce cycling regime...
