内容説明

Advances in molecular medicine and imagining techniques have led to the growth of fetal medicine as a subspeciality of increasing importance. This book is the only publication to focus on the treatment of the fetus as a patient. It provides a comprehensive reference to current techniques and strategies for embryonic and fetal diagnosis, monitoring, fetal therapy, management and counselling, plus a section devoted to basic science. The text incorporates advances in the diagnosis of fetal abnormalities and their management, underpinned by a clear explanation of fetal physiology, embryology and molecular biology.
