Fetal Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Practice. This item is unavailable.Fetal Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Practice

This book contains a foreword by John T. Queenan, MD, Professor and Chair Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington. Fetal medicine has emerged as a separate subspecialty over the last 30 years as a result of major advances in a number of areas, in particular ultrasound imaging, cytogenetics, molecular biology and biochemistry. The widespread use of antenatal screening and diagnostic tests has led to an increased need for obstetricians to have knowledge and skills in fetal medicine. This book provides the information that underpins training programmes in fetal medicine and integrates science and clinical disciplines in a practical and useful way.

"The book presentation 'pleases the eye' due to choice of colour, font size and balance between amount of text, tables and illustrative material. Chapters are also not too long. This combination makes one feel like reading it - rather than placing it on the bookshelf.."
