Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia
Pediatrics 113:361-7. 2004..We hypothesized that milk ejection would cause an increase in milk-duct diameter that could be observed noninvasively with ultrasound, and this could be used to investigate the physiology of milk ejection in women... - Physiology of lactation in preterm mothers: initiation and maintenancePeter E Hartmann
