Editorial

A rapidly developing area of science and technology involves research about the interactions over newborn. Over the past half century, Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that consists of the medical care of newborn infants, especially the ill or premature newborn. It is a hospital-based specialty, and is usually practised in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The principal patients of neonatologists are newborn infants who are ill or require special medical care due to prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations (birth defects), sepsis, pulmonary hypoplasia or birth asphyxia.

Hence, we are pleased to present this Special Issue entitled “ Neonatal Management During the Coronavirus Disease ”, which focuses on key leading areas. We are expanding our editorial board for addressing the gaps and further enriching this journal. I am glad that Prof. Keiji Suzuki, Editor-in-Chief, Tokai University School of Medicine, Japan is joining as one of the Editor of this journal. Her brief profile is enclosed. His joining the editorial team, will help in strengthening the coordination and management of the journal. Dr Keiji Suzuki is a distinguished scholar in library and information science. His joining the journal as Assistant Editor will be very useful for strengthening the journal editorial process. Longdom Publishing seeks proposals for creating special issues that target specific topics of interest which have high significance to current research in all related fields of medical sciences. The theme for the special issues should aim at addressing emerging issues that fall within the scope of Longdommedical science journals.

The heightened interest neonatal biology over the last 2 decades has led to a nearly 10-fold increase in the number of relevant papers published per year.

The manuscripts submitted to this Special Issue were peerreviewed following the standard procedures of the neonatal biology; as a result, the collection of papers included here aim to provide the most recent developments in a field of ever-growing scientific, industrial, and socio-economical interest. Authors are leading experts coming from universities, research centers, industries, and hospitals located all around the world in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.

Lastly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the authors for their efforts and contributions to this Special Issue. We also thank Profs. Keiji Suzuki, Editors-in-Chief of neonatal biology, for their kind assistance in the handling of the papers in this Special Issue. Readers can develop an understanding of the advances in COVID-19 suffering from this pandemic situation.
