.... 2025 Nutrition Neonate Body composition Fat-free mass (FFM) has emerged as a potential key indicator for later neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants. Elevated FFM gains from birth to term have been linked to larger brain sizes [ 1 ]. Positive associations have also been...

...Leila Harrison; Tyler Vaivada; Rahima Yasin; Jai K. Das; Zulfiqar A. Bhutta Introduction: The neonatal period is the most vulnerable time in a child’s life, contributing to almost half of all deaths in children under 5 years. Many of these deaths are preventable and are mainly caused by preterm...

..., and autoinflammation. Although most cases manifest in childhood, onset during the neonatal period is rare but potentially critical. Summary: In this review, we discuss the diverse clinical presentations of IEI and the specific challenges they pose to neonatologists. Rather than detailing every molecular defect, we...
