The book delves into recent advances in neonatology, including fetal surgery, global health considerations, molecular genetics, immunology and inflammation, thermoregulation, palliative care, imaging techniques, and genetic abnormalities. It also reflects new research findings on the impact of maternal drug use on newborns, nutritional strategies, pulmonary disorders, discharge planning protocols, and the specific care requirements of preterm and small for gestational age infants. Furthermore, it addresses contemporary ethical concepts in neonatal care, family-integrated care models, early life determinants of life course disease, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on neonatal care practices.
