Description
New Age International (P) Ltd The Growth Restricted Baby Of The Tropics by Dr. Mini Sood ,Arijit Biswas
Obstetricians have always had a pessimistic attitude towards the management of fetal growth restriction. Yet there is much work that has been published, and pregnant women with growth-restricted fetuses may receive significant benefit from proper therapy.
This book is the joint effort of two friends, working at premier institutions in two separate countries, but sharing a common interest. Their combination of similar specialization but different working environments has enabled a proper balance between high technological methods with simpler clinical ones. Dr. Sood and Dr. Biswas have also been able to get several highly-rated scientists, among the best in their fields, to contribute for this book.
The book covers the entire subject of fetal growth restriction. It will answer most questions related to etiology, diagnosis and treatment of growth restriction. Some of the focus is on clinical aspects of relevance in the developing countries, for example, use of clinical diagnostic methods.
The authors have kept the practicing obstetrician in mind, and have ensured a simple, easily understood style. The text is liberally referenced for authenticity and credibility, but the authors clarify each controversy to present concrete answers and management advice. The result is a thoroughly readable text that will educate those who wish to learn more about fetal growth restriction, and will serve as a ready reckoner for those who have a patient to manage.
