Description
A comprehensive text on the principles and practice of foetal-maternal medicine, which gives equal consideration to both patients in the obstetrician's care: mother and foetus. Chapters discuss such topics as foetal immunology, endocrinology and haematology; recurrent pregnancy loss - diagnosis and treatment; MRI in obstetrics; basic principles of teratology; first trimester of prenatal diagnosis; the foetus at surgery; prenatal diagnosis of genetic and structural anomalies; medical foetal therapy; in-utero cardiac therapy; HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases; post-term pregnancy - what and how to delivery; board review questions and answers.
