Sáenz de Pipaón M: nutrition for prematurely born infants

Dr. Alex Knisely is talking to Dr. Miguel Sáenz de Pipaón of Hospital Universitario La Paz and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, a Madrileño with Basque-country heritage, about the challenges of ensuring growth in prematurely born infants —what constitutes proper nutrition, how to supply that nutrition, how to determine with follow-up studies over both the short and the long term if the nutrition supplied indeed was proper and the growth achieved was adequate — with both dietary and pharmacologic interventions.  We learn as well a little, although not enough ! , about the three-generation journey from a village with, at present, 36 inhabitants to lives as medical practitioners and scientists in the Spanish capital.
