Neonatal apnea and gastroesophageal reflux (GER): is there a problem?

abstract：:Little is known about thrombopoietin (Tpo) production in human fetuses and neonates. As a step toward determining whether Tpo is relevant to platelet production in the fetus and neonate, we hypothesized that: (1) like other cytokines, Tpo is present in the cord blood in higher concentrations than in adult plasma; (2) ...
