Risk factors associated with premature labor and delivery are presented and some medical problems commonly seen in premature infants are described. The neonatal intensive care unit is described in detail; medical equipment, staff responsibilities, and routine tests and procedures are discussd. Suggestions are provided for coping with the premature infant's needs at home and developmental milestones during the first year of life are outlined. Suggestions are given for identifying and handling potential long-term problems in the premature infant's future and considerations for planning future pregnancies are discussed.

Manual Specialization and the Developing Brain deals with how the hands acquire different skills and what this may tell about the child's developing brain. This book is organized into three parts. Part I provides a general overview of lateralization development, while Part II compiles contributions that are more theoretical in nature. The last part summarizes the empirical research with neonates. This text specifically discusses the studies of early lateralized manual behaviors, character of human handedness, and factors that contribute toward variability in lateralization. The hemisphere differences in response to specific stimulus cues, phylogenetic perspective, and infant motor skills project are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the developmental view of hemispheric specialization and changes and constancies in development. This publication is useful to pediatricians, medical practitioners, and researchers concerned with early lateralized behavior.
