Birth in the Peruvian Andes: Physical and Behavioral Consequences in the Neonate.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Saco-Pollitt, Carmen – Child Development, 1981
Neonates born without complications to healthy mothers at 14,000 feet or at 490 feet above sea level were evaluated at 24-36- and 48-60-hours-of-life. In comparison with low-altitude infants, high-altitude infants were significantly lighter, shorter, had a smaller arm circumference, and presented more signs of behavioral immaturity in interactive…

Analysis of Cry Features in Newborns with Differential Fetal Growth.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zeskind, Philip Sanford; Ramey, Craig T. – Child Development, 1981
Describes the relationship between neonatal crying and anthropometric indices of fetal growth. No differences were found between cry features of underweight and overweight infants; both groups required more stimulation than average weight infants to elicit crying. It is suggested that certain cry features may reflect the risk status of neonates…

Neurobehavioral Syndromes in Cocaine-Exposed Newborn Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lester, Barry M.; And Others – Child Development, 1991
The effects of fetal cocaine exposure on newborn cry characteristics were studied in 80 cocaine-exposed and 80 control infants. Findings were consistent with the notion that two neurobehavioral syndromes, excitable and depressed, can be described in cocaine-exposed infants and that these two syndromes are a result of direct neurotoxic effects and…
