Ernst Moro (8 December 1874 – 17 April 1951) was an Austrian pediatrician and professor who made significant contributions to the field of pediatrics. He is best known for his discovery of the Moro reflex, a primitive reflex in infants, and for developing the Moro test.
Early Life and Education
Ernst Moro was born in Laibach, Austria-Hungary, which is now known as Ljubljana, Slovenia. He studied medicine at the University of Graz, where he graduated in 1899.
Career
After completing his studies, Moro worked at the University of Munich under the guidance of Theodor Escherich, the discoverer of Escherichia coli. In 1906, he became a professor of pediatrics at the University of Heidelberg.
Contributions to Medicine
Moro is renowned for his research in infant nutrition and gastroenterology. He developed "Moro's milk", a type of sour milk used to treat digestive disorders in children. His work on the Moro reflex has been fundamental in understanding neonatal development.
Moro Reflex
The Moro reflex is an infantile reflex normally present in all infants/newborns up to 4–5 months of age as a response to a sudden loss of support. It involves three distinct components: spreading out the arms (abduction), pulling the arms in (adduction), and crying (usually).
Moro Test
The Moro test is used to evaluate the presence and strength of the Moro reflex in newborns. It is an important part of the neurological examination of infants.
Legacy
Ernst Moro's contributions to pediatrics have had a lasting impact on the field. His work is still referenced in modern medical literature, and his discoveries continue to influence pediatric practice today.
