Their main clinical and research interests and experience include neonatal jaundice, conventional and fiberoptic phototherapy of neonatal jaundice, transcutaneous measurement of bilirubin, non-invasive monitoring of neonatal cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics with near-infrared spectroscopy, transitional circulation, patent ductus arteriosus, neonatal resuscitation, delayed cord clamping, neonatal resuscitation with an intact cord, and pediatric cardiology and echocardiography.

#### **David Hutchon**

David J R Hutchon is an Emeritus Consultant Obstetrician at the Darlington Memorial Hospital after 35 years of clinical practice. He has spent the last 10 years studying and teaching about the circulatory changes which occur at birth and the importance of residual placental circulation. He has published more than 20 papers on the subject and is an Editorial Board Member of the *Maternal Health, Neonatology and Perinatology* journal. He led the team whose research resulted in the production of the first mobile neonatal resuscitation trolley, now being used in a number of units in the UK, Europe and the USA.

#### **Anup Katheria**

Dr. Anup Katheria is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of the Neonatal Research Institute and NICU follow-up clinic at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns. His research interests include functional echocardiography, point-of-care ultrasound, and conducting clinical trials. He is currently conducting several large multicenter trials: 1. comparing cord milking to early cord clamping in term non-vigorous infants; 2. comparing delayed cord clamping to umbilical cord milking in preterm infants; 3. Comparing empiric antibiotic therapy to placebo in extremely low-birthweight infants; 4 comparing early CPAP to early minimal invasive surfactant administration (LISA); 5. evaluating the use of cromolyn therapy to reduce BPD; and 6. comparing the effectiveness of nasal high-flow cannula to CPAP. Dr. Katheria earned his BS in Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles and his MD from Drexel University College of Medicine. He completed his pediatric residency at Children's Hospital of Orange County, and his Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship at the University of California, San Diego.
