This book provides the first clinically comprehensive and practical
approach to ethical challenges in perinatal medicine.The first
chapter introduces and explains the professional responsibility
model of perinatal ethics.The professional responsibility model is
based on the medical ethics of two major physician-ethics in the
history of Western medical ethics, Dr. John Gregory (1724-1773) of
Scotland and Dr. Thomas Percival (1740-1804) of England.The
professional responsibility model is used to articulate the ethical
concept of the fetus as a patient and to operationalize the ethical
principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy.The book
provides practical guidance for clinical judgment and decision
making with patients about the responsible clinical management of
the wide range of issues encountered by perinatologists in clinical
practice and research.Topics included: periviability; feticide;
intrapartum management; maternal-fetal conflict; innovation for
fetal benefit; research for fetal benefit; non-aggressive obstetric
management; managing the transition from pregnancy to birth;
destructive procedures such as cephalocentesis; critical care for
the pregnant patient; home birth; patient-choice cesarean delivery;
neonatal care as a trial of management; and setting limits on
neonatal care on the basis of clinical judgments of futility.
The series is devoted to the publication of monographs and
high-level textbooks in mathematics, mathematical methods and their
applications. Apart from covering important areas of current
interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary
nature accessible to the non-specialist. The works in this series
are addressed to advanced students and researchers in mathematics
and theoretical physics. In addition, it can serve as a guide for
lectures and seminars on a graduate level. The series de Gruyter
Studies in Mathematics was founded ca. 35 years ago by the late
Professor Heinz Bauer and Professor Peter Gabriel with the aim to
establish a series of monographs and textbooks of high standard,
written by scholars with an international reputation presenting
current fields of research in pure and applied mathematics. While
the editorial board of the Studies has changed with the years, the
aspirations of the Studies are unchanged. In times of rapid growth
of mathematical knowledge carefully written monographs and
textbooks written by experts are needed more than ever, not least
to pave the way for the next generation of mathematicians. In this
sense the editorial board and the publisher of the Studies are
devoted to continue the Studies as a service to the mathematical
community. Please submit any book proposals to Niels Jacob. Titles

This fourth edition provides clinicians with the latest information
on the role of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Divided
into three sections, the book begins with an introduction to the
use of ultrasound, followed by its application in both pregnant
women and in the diagnosis of gynaecological disorders. The new
edition has been fully revised and includes new chapters on
fallopian tube ultrasound, HD live Silhouette and HD live Flow, 3D
ultrasound in prenatal diagnosis, foetal face, and 4D ultrasound. A
complete section on Foetal Therapy has also been added covering
stem cell and gene therapy, ultrasound guided interventions, and
open foetal surgery. Authored by recognised experts from Croatia
and the USA, this comprehensive manual is enhanced by nearly 2000
ultrasound images, illustrations and tables. Key points Fully
revised, fourth edition presenting latest information on ultrasound
in obstetrics and gynaecology Includes many new topics Authored by
recognised experts from Croatia and the USA Previous edition

Obesity and Gynecology, Second Edition, presents updated chapters
on a variety of topics, ranging from adolescent obesity,
contraception, assisted reproduction and sexual dysfunction, to
bariatric surgery and improving semen parameters. The prevalence of
obesity in men and women continues to dramatically increase around
the world. Obesity presents specific challenges in relation to male
and female infertility and general gynecology. Patients who are
obese require specific considerations and knowledge.
Obesity and Obstetrics, Second Edition, brings together experts to
examine the issues and challenges of obesity and obstetrics, also
discussing how obesity affects fertility, reproduction and
pregnancy. Beginning with the worldwide epidemic of obesity,
chapters then go on to review obesity and hyperglycemia of
pregnancy, management of labor, interventions to improve care
during pregnancy, and long-term impact of maternal obesity.
