Unusual concomitance during the neonatal period: Tachyarrhythmia and hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism and Thyroid Function Alterations During the Neonatal Period

Functional and anatomical maturation of the gastrointestinal tract is strictly related to gestational age (GA); hence, premature infants are more prone to develop FD. Feeding intolerance (FI) is very common ...
