This symposium summarizes the research work done on anoxia of newborn infants by a group of 17 experts, all but one of whom are Europeans. It covers most of the important aspects of the problem, including histologic, pathologic, clinical, biochemical, physiopathologic and therapeutic aspects. Brief comments by members of the symposium on the reported work of others are included. This book will be of interest to all who are conducting research on this problem and to those who desire to keep abreast of the new developments in this field.
