Questions relate both to the fetus and to the mother with topics ranging from conception to delivery, and including normal processes and disease states of the fetus, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic measures. The answers to all the questions are listed at the end of the book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Editors have modernised the main book and increased its usefulness by the addition of 10 or so key points for reader review at the end of each chapter. This revised edition contains new chapters on three-dimensional ultrasound, foetal stem cell therapy, and benign tumours in pregnancy. There is increased coverage of teratogens, infections, second trimester prenatal diagnosis, and foetal diseases, and a greater emphasis on labour and delivery. Also new to this edition are extensive discussions of prenatal diagnosis of congenital malformations using both invasive and noninvasive modalities.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"...this textbook will meet the needs of most readers for most subjects. Certainly physicians-in-training will find this book helpful. Although its size an weight will preclude it being carried around to the wards or outpatient areas, the CD-ROM feature nicely provides an excellent alternative solution to making the book readily available.

This allows a reader to initially review what is contained in the chapter and to later review what the authors think is particularly important after studying a chapter. For those who wish to test their knowledge on the various subjects, there is an accompanying question-and-answer book covering all the chapters in the text...\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn even more useful feature is the inclusion of a CD-ROM that contains the entire textbook, including color illustrations and photographs...
