Background: Small for gestational age (SGA) perform a postnatal catch-up growth to recover their genetic trajectory. We studied the postnatal catch-up growth pattern of fetuses born with an appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) weight but with fetal growth deceleration (FGD) to explore whether they catch up.
Methods: Nine hundred and sixty-six newborns at Villalba University General Hospital (HUGV), were followed from 34 to 37 weeks to birth.
The persistence of ferroelectricity in ultrathin layers relies critically on screening or compensation of polarization charges which otherwise destabilize the ferroelectric state. At surfaces, charged defects play a crucial role in the screening mechanism triggering novel mixed electrochemical-ferroelectric states. At interfaces, however, the coupling between ferroelectric and electrochemical states has remained unexplored.

Among oxide devices, multiferroic tunnel junctions are being actively investigated as they offer the possibility to modulate the junction current by independently controlling the switching of the magnetization of the electrodes and of the ferroelectric polarization of the barrier. In this Letter, we show that the spin reconstruction at the interfaces of a La_{0.
