Advances in Perinatal Medicine: The Proceedings of the XV European Congress of Perinatal MedicineF. Cockburn This is a large, all-inclusive reference volume of 67 chapters documenting the very latest experimental and clinical advances in perinatal medicine by world-class experts in the field. It covers fetal anomalies, intrauterine growth and parturition, maternal and infant nutrition, the very low birthweight infant, ultrasound for fetal and neonatal assessment, environmental influences on the embryo and fetus, maternal disease and pregnancy outcome, pre- and perinatal diagnosis and management of inherited metabolic diseases, protection of the fetal/infant brain, investigation and treatment and outcome for fetal abnormalities, perinatal nursing care and perinatal transport, perinatal medicine and professional education in Europe, perinatal cardiorespiratory support, ethics and audit and medicolegal aspects of perinatal practice in Europe, prevention of preterm deliveries, fetal and in-fant learning and behavior, biotechnology and perinatal research, surfactant replacement therapy, and matters of special controversy. Includes bibliographic references and index. |
