Age Determination in Macaque Fetuses and Neonates

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Primatology ((AIPR))

Abstract

Pediatricians have repeatedly stressed the need for accurate assessment of gestational age in the human fetus and newborn to ascertain neonatal risk, to permit age-controlled studies of neonatal physiology, and to provide baseline data for the developmental testing of preterm infants (Usher, McLean and Scott, 1966; Finnstrom, 1972).
