Routine brain imaging to detect injuries affecting preterm infants is used to predict long-term
outcomes and identify complications that might necessitate an intervention. Although …

Cerebellar hemorrhagic injury (CHI) is a common complication of preterm birth. There are
now many studies that have investigated the developmental consequences of CHI. This …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for observing and assessing the
properties of brain tissue and structures. In particular, in the context of neonatal care, MR …

Background Preterm birth affects almost 9–11% of newborns and is one of the leading
causes of childhood neurodevelopmental disabilities; the underlying molecular networks are …

The brain of neonates is small in comparison to adults. Imaging at typical resolutions such
as one cubic mm incurs more partial voluming artifacts in a neonate than in an adult. The …

Although the cerebellum is now recognized for its crucial role in non-motor functions such as
language, perceptual processes, social communication, and executive function in adults, it is …

Preterm children with very low birth weight (< 1,500 g) and extremely low birth weight (<
1,000 g) have an increased risk of experiencing neuropsychological delays. The purpose of …

Objective: To evaluate the cognitive and academic profile of preterm newborns at school
age and to determine the factors related to prematurity and sociodemographic profile that …

Premature birth is a worldwide public health priority. One in ten children is born before 37
weeks of gestational age and, in developed countries, survival rates without major neonatal …

Background Prematurity, low birth weight (LBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), and
intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are risk factors of long-term poor neuro-development …
