Neonatology — Food, Nutrition and Neonatal Metabolism

Neonatology · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Un análisis exhaustivo y sistemático de las bases fisiológicas, moleculares, bioquímicas e inmunológicas de la transición nutricional, el soporte enteral y parenteral avanzado en prematuros de extremo bajo peso, y el manejo clínico de las desviaciones metabólicas neonatales.
