Abstract
Imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis and staging of prenatal and neonatal tumors, and is essential in treatment planning. Though obstetrical ultrasound is the first choice prenatally, fetal MRI continues to play an increasing role as experience with this imaging modality increases. In the neonate, in addition to ultrasound and MRI, CT and nuclear medicine studies can also play an important role. We describe the prenatal and neonatal imaging findings of some of the most common congenital abdominal and soft tissue neoplasms including neuroblastoma, renal, liver and soft tissue tumors.

Early-life nutrition: impacts on health and diseases
In early life, organs and hormonal axes are especially susceptible to changes that can affect the intestinal mucosa, immune system, and long-term health. Critical factors in the developmental process, including maternal diet, type of delivery, breastfeeding, and the nutritional status of mothers and children, have gained prominence. Evidence suggests that ...read more
