TL;DR: There is a significant correlation between the incidence of RSV infections and the mean minimum temperature registered during the same week and the previous weeks and meteorological factors and air pollutants concentration.

TL;DR: This paper found that preterm infants with mild cerebral damage exhibited a higher rate of risk for language impairment as compared to full-term infants, and also identified predictors of risk, and argued the importance of early identification of language difficulties among preterms and implementation of systematic language-focused interventions for these youngsters.

TL;DR: The study shows that even without brain damage, preterm birth continues to affect linguistic development up to the end of the preschool years, and probably beyond, highlighting a continuity between pre- and peri-natal life and subsequent development, and pointing to an atypical developmental trajectory in this population compared to fullterms.

TL;DR: There to be a slower rate of communicative-linguistic development in very preterms with an increasing difference in their gestural and lexical competencies in the second year of life with respect to full-terms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to verify whether a reduced birth weight for gestational age was associated with testicular dysfunction in postpubertal boys, and the results showed that the SGA group had reduced testicular size (16.3 ± 2.7 mL vs 22.8 ± 3.2 mL).
