Michael E. Symonds

Margaret Ramsay

Chiara Nosarti Robin Murray Maureen Hack

Lifespan developmental neuropsychology is the study of the systematic behavioral, cognitive, and psychosocial changes and growth that occur across infancy, adolescence, adulthood and later life. This book provides insight into how brain-behavior relationships change over time, how disorders differ in presentation across the lifespan, and what longer-term outcomes look like.

This book defines the nutritional requirements of the fetus during development and growth, placing scientific developments into a clinical context. Clinicians and scientists discuss: how the fetus grows and what macro- and micronutrients it requires; what happens when there is nutrient deficiency and when placental development is abnormal; aspects of infant feeding, both with breast milk and formula milk. Specific problems encountered in pregnancy that pose a nutritional challenge are also considered, including pregnancy in teenagers, multiple pregnancies and pregnancy in those who are vegetarians or vegans.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is available to two-thirds of the world’s population, and world-class experts, representing research from 18 different countries, have contributed to this groundbreaking textbook, detailing the techniques and philosophies behind medical procedures of infertility and assisted reproduction. This is one of the most rapidly changing and hotly debated fields in medicine. Different countries have different restrictions on the research techniques that can be applied to this field, and, therefore, experts from around the world bring varied and unique authorities to different subjects in reproductive technology. Encompassing the latest research into the physiology of reproduction, infertility evaluation and treatment, and assisted reproduction, it concludes with perspectives on the ethical dilemmas faced by clinicians and professionals.

Single Embryo Transfer Jan Gerris et al

✔ International authorship reflects a broad range of available opinions and techniques

Limiting the number of embryos to transfer is the only method available to decrease the incidence of multiple pregnancies. Single Embryo Transfer reviews the advantages and limitations of this approach to assisted reproduction. All clinical issues involved in setting up and running an SET programme are covered, including important topics such as best embryo selection, cryopreservation of embryos, embryo donation, and patient counselling. The final chapters on future SET trends in Europe and North America are written by leading figures in the IVF world.

✔ Comprehensively covers options for patient and ethical dilemmas faced by specialists

✔ A must have book for physicians, embryologists, nurses, insurers, politicians, ethicists and patients

NEW Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a key technique in modern reproductive medicine. Originally developed to help couples who were at risk of transmitting single-gene genetic abnormalities to their children, the development of the FISH technique broadened chromosome analysis to include detection of more complex inherited abnormalities. The last decade has seen the development of aneuploidy screening (PGS) for infertile couples, using the same techniques as PGD but screening for as many chromosomes as possible. PGD has always been a controversial procedure and embryo manipulation and selection is still illegal in some countries.

✔ An absolute must for clinicians, embryologists, nurses, and clinical scientists ✔ Leading textbook written by key international experts in PGD ✔ Ideal textbook for training courses and workshops on PGD

Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge Providing a thorough and up-to-date overview of the full range of gynaecological cancers, this is particularly useful for trainees working towards postgraduate examinations. Includes introductory chapters on epidemiology, screening and prevention, imaging, pathology, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and palliation. Also covers the gynaecological cancer types in turn, looking at clinical issues, staging, and principles of management. Contains helpful advice on decision-making, addressing those issues clinicians and women face when deciding on optimal management in given clinical scenarios.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common presenting symptom for both gynecologists and family practitioners with complex etiology and challenging differential diagnosis. Many cases of AUB can be managed effectively with hormonal, anti-inflammatory or antifibrinolytic agents. Although surgical management may include hysterectomy, more often one of a variety of less invasive, uterus-sparing procedures provides an effective and satisfactory clinical outcome. Effective management of women with AUB is enhanced by an understanding of the relevant basic sciences and the various mechanisms by which symptoms evolve. Written by a leading practitioner, the approach includes advice on history taking, clinical examination and appropriate therapy. Basic science aspects are limited to what is really relevant to the clinicians. The accompanying DVD includes videos, animations, color images and patient support material to facilitate learning.

✔ An invaluable resource for professionals and trainees

✔ Flow-charts and diagrams are used to help the reader assimilate complex information

✔ Classification system facilitates understanding of the various causes of abnormal uterine bleeding

✔ A practical book, enhanced by highlighting learning points, management algorithms and clinical images

✔ Includes diagnostic and treatment algorithms for quick reference and a range of therapeutic options
