Not all babies born prematurely will suffer long-term developmental problems, a new study finds. Preemies tend to fall into three risk categories, with about one in five (20%) scoring above average on ...

An interdisciplinary team of physicians and scientists show for the first time that a blood protein called fibrin blocks an essential biological process that drives brain development in early life.

Now, however, a collaboration between researchers at Anglia Ruskin University, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Universities of ...

Babies born preterm may face a life of lowered prospects. Adults who were preemies are less likely to achieve higher education or snag a high-paying job, researchers reported. Photo by Adobe ...

Extending the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in premature infants by two weeks significantly increases lung volume and lung diffusion capacity, according to a new study.

Parents may wonder, how to calculate the age of a premature baby and is it the same as calculating the age of a baby born on time? Determining the age of a premature baby is very important considering ...
