Babies born at less than 37 weeks gestation (premature) have different nutritional needs than babies born at full term (after 38 weeks). Premature babies will often stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. There they are watched closely to make sure they are getting the right balance of fluids and nutrition.
Watershed Stroke. Watershed strokes. are usually the result of poor blood flow to the brain from occlusion of the arteries in the neck (from atherosclerosis) or periods of poor cardiac function, such as during a heart attack.
The cause of a stroke is a lack of blood flow to the brain. This can happen in two ways: One is called ischemic, and this is when a clot forms or gets stuck in a blood vessel and won't allow blood flow to pass to the brain.
