Hadi Practical Neonatology (Hadi PN), a 2-book series of practical guidelines, is intended to provide a structured approach to the management of neonatal conditions which are likely to face the neonatal team. It is not intended to replace neonatal textbooks or to teach the beginners in the field. Prior sound knowledge of Neonatal Medicine, by the user, is essential. This book is the second in the series.

The experience of walking into the neonatal unit for the first time is frightening to parents, doctors, and nurses. The beautiful decorations, elegant furniture and the gracefully dimmed lights are not seen, as if they are not existing. What matters for parents is their baby, and they see nothing but their baby. For new nurses and doctors, the tension and stress of the unfamiliar environment pulls a cataract-like blinds across both eyes. Then comes the next challenge: the Jargon and unique phrases in common use in NICU. The team, in every neonatal unit, has adopted hundreds of peculiar and unfamiliar terms as part of their daily language. They always make some efforts to explain themselves, ...

One of the first questions is about the seriousness of the birthmark or its relation to a se...

Acne vulgaris is a highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous units. It is the most common skin disease affecting more than 85% of teenagers and young adults. It is not known how often these affected individuals would seek medical advice and treatment, but studies have shown that their quality of life can be severely compromised. The pathophysiology of acne involves increased production of sebum, proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes with resultant increase in chemotactic factors and pro-inflammatory mediators which lead to inflammation, release of lipids into the sebaceous duct and follicle, and obstruction of the pilosebaceous canal caused by hyperproliferation and shedding of keratinocytes in clumps. Hormonal and genetic factors also play major roles. This book offers information pertinent to this widespread condition.
