This handbook addresses universal developmental and cultural factors contributing to child and adolescent mental health and well-being across the globe. It examines sociocultural contexts of development and identifies children's and adolescents' perspectives as critical to understanding and promoting their psychological well-being. It details the Promoting Psychological Well-Being Globally project's methodology for data collection and analysis, provides cross-cultural analyses of its findings, and offers a practical model for clinicians and other professionals seeking to apply this knowledge to real-life settings. Featured topics include: Sexual health, gender roles, and psychological well-being in India. Psychological well-being as a new educational boundary in Italy. Mapping psychological well-being in Romania. Youth perspectives on contributing factors to psychological well-being in Sri Lanka.

For nearly all infants, breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition and immunologic protection, and it provides remarkable health benefits to mothers as well. Babies who are breasf-fed are less likely to become overweight and obese. Many mothers in the United States want to breastfeed, and most try. And yet within only three months after giving birth, more than two-thirds of breastfeeding mothers have already begun using formula. This book provides an overview guide to breastfeeding with a focus on why breastfeeding is important; common challenges; breastfeeding in public; and the Surgeon General's Call to Action to support breastfeeding.

Birth defects are defined as abnormalities of structure, function, or body metabolism that are present at birth. These abnormalities lead to mental or physical disabilities or are fatal. There are more than 4,000 different known birth defects ranging from minor to serious, and although many of them can be treated or cured, they are the leading cause of death in the first year of life. This book presents leading research in this field from around the world.

With higher risks to mother and baby in pregnant women with renal disease, critical decision-making is key. Giving practical guidance for antenatal, post-partum and maternity unit challenges, this book supports good practice and evidence-based management. The book includes evidence on antenatal and post-partum care; management of acute kidney injury in the delivery suite; and care guidelines for acute, chronic, and previously undiagnosed kidney diseases. The book also covers acute kidney injury, transplant, dialysis, pre-conception counselling, and medications. Previously published by RCOG, this revised edition includes: * Updated expert consensus statements * Complete revision, with a new chapter on contraception * Updates in management of acute kidney injury, hypertension, dialysis and pregnancy, renal transplantation and pre-eclampsia. Structured to help clinicians make decisions, this book is for use by obstetricians, renal physicians, maternal medicine clinicians, midwives, urologists and specialist nurses.

Cancer in pregnancy presents physicians with a serious and ethical challenge, yet the sources of concise data and guidance for the management of this disease are scarce. The Motherisk program, based at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, is dedicated to addressing this problem. Cancer in Pregnancy and Lactation: The Motherisk Guide tackles this subject by providing evidence-based information needed to address the complex issues of maternal diagnosis, management, treatment, prognosis and long-term impact on the unborn child. Based on the research by members of the international Consortium of Cancer in Pregnancy Evidence (CCoPE) this book provides physicians with the core knowledge required to make sound clinical decisions in the face of sometimes conflicting interests. Co-edited by recognized experts in the field with over 25 years' experience, this comprehensive volume is essential reading for all maternal-fetal medicine physicians, obstetricians, neonatologists, oncologists and pharmacologists.

Cambridge Pocket Clinician / Maternal-Fetal Medicine is designed to provide the busy clinician with precisely the information needed where and when it is needed. The text covers a wide variety of topics related to maternal and fetal medicine, as well as clinical questions that will challenge providers both in the outpatient setting and on Labor & Delivery. Special attention has been paid to incorporating an evidence-based approach to obstetric management, and a number of chapters have been included to assist in the management of obstetric emergencies. In total, over 000 diseases and conditions are discussed in detail.

This is the Second Volume of a five-volume set of atlases on the developing human central nervous system. With no other atlases available on the development of the human spinal cord and the brain during the second and third trimesters, this volume fills a large void in the current knowledge. Easy to use, it provides photographs of the entire brain or spinal cord sections arranged in companion plates that include two parts: a large, high resolution black and white photograph on the left page and a "ghost image" of the photograph on the right page with unabbreviated labels. This volume provides a user-friendly survey of the complex structural processes that occur during human CNS development.

This new manual provides a convenient source of experimental procedures, including the most modern and frequently used molecular and cellular techniques. Experimental protocols have been carefully selected by developmental toxicologists for developmental toxicologists. The most important new trends, such as evaluation of the safety of therapeutic antisense oligonucleotides, studies of the role of cell death in abnormal development, and the identification of sparingly expressed developmental control genes are featured. This is the perfect manual for scientists trained in classical developmental toxicology who want to add molecular and cellular methods to their research.

This book provides an authoritative and comprehensive update on advances in the understanding and management of recurrent pregnancy loss, both with regard to the basic science and the clinical applications. As many subjects are controversial, and occasionally clinical decisions are based on lack of knowledge rather than evidence, chapters include debates by leading experts, to aid the clinician in deciding on the appropriate clinical management.

Chapters cover basic scientific topics, genetics and the application of evidence based medicine as well as the problems of mid trimester loss, late obstetric complications and related psychological mechanisms.

This book will be essential reading for specialists working in recurrent pregnancy loss clinics, and associated disciplines, and also of interest to anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive view of developments in the field.

The aim of this mini atlas is to make anomaly scanning a simple procedure. The short and precise information with details of identifying the lesion help in viewing the fetus as a whole rather than a particular fetal system or organ. There is extensive coverage of both normal and abnormal anomalies. The normal values, measurement methodology and reporting featured in the appendices give an excellent succinct overview of the parameters to bear in mind when viewing the images. In brief this is an excellent pocket reference for anyone involved in obstetric ultrasound.
