This book is a practical guide for the management of at-risk early
pregnancy. It is relevant to trainees in maternal-fetal medicine
and obstetrics, as well as nurses and sonographers who see many
at-risk patients in the early stages of pregnancy.
Problems in early pregnancy are among the most common conditions in
gynecology and - with management becoming less invasive and
depending more on accurate ultrasound and a good understanding of
serum biochemistry - many countries now recommend that all
maternity units have an early pregnancy section dedicated to
managing these conditions. In addition to this, the subject is also
an essential part of the training syllabus in the speciality of
maternal-fetal medicine. Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care is a
practical guide for the management of at-risk early pregnancy. The
chapters are concise, well-illustrated and contain decision trees
for the management of each condition. Focusing on practical
management, not just research, this helpful text will be beneficial
in the clinic, as contributors are encouraged to tell the readers
what to do in critical situations. Covering key points and
containing illustrative case studies, this handbook is relevant to
trainees in maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics, as well as
nurses and sonographers who see many at-risk patients in the early
stages of pregnancy. Short Contents
Since the pioneering work of Donald and his first Lancet paper in
1958, the use of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology has
evolved rap idly. The introduction of grey scale techniques
enhanced our ability to identify different tissues on the basis of
their texture. However, it was the introduction of the linear array
real-time scanner in the mid seven ties that changed ultrasound
from being an "eccentric art form" to a readily available and
usable technique. This led to the first reports of the diagnosis of
neural tube defects using ultrasound by Campbell, as well as the
establishment of fetal biometry. In the midst of this activity the
parallel development of the transvaginal probe by Kratochwill went
almost unnoticed by most gynaecologists. Yet the application of
this technique has since had a major impact on many areas of gyna
ecological practice, and on infertility in particular. Since the
demon stration of transvaginal follicle aspiration, the vaginal
route has become standard for most invasive ultrasound guided
gynaecological procedures. The relatively new technical advance of
transvaginal colour Doppler may potentially have just as great an
impact. The introduction and use of transvaginal colour flow
imaging has facili tated the study of vascular changes within the
pelvis.
Based on the international workshop GPCRs: From Deorphanisation
to Lead Structure Identification, held in Berlin in May 2006, the
book highlights the following topics: Structure of GPCRs, Design of
GPCR Ligands, GPCR Signalling, Deorphanization and Assay
Development. All chapters are written by leading experts in the
field, discussing the most recent state of the art. They give
insight into the approaches taken by industry and academia to
address GPCRs and depict how mature this target class-oriented
research has become in the last decade. The book reflects the
actual trends in the fast-emerging field of GPCR research in
academia and industry.

paper he discussed the results whim had been obtained from his
studies of the adrenal gland. The results he obtained are probably
best told in his own words: -"To see whether the adrenal cortex
contains any such reducing agent the gland was cut with a knife
into halves-which were immersed in a 0. 4% AgN0 solution. In a few
minutes the cortical part 3 was seen to darken through the
deposition of reduced metallic silver. In a quarter of an hour the
cut surface of the cortex turned completely black while the medulla
remained largely uncoloured. The black colouration ends towards the
medulla with a sharp margin, which corresponds to the anatomical
margin between the medulla and cortex. Like the medulla, other
organs, such as brain, liver and muscle remain practically
uncoloured. " When the gland was immersed in a mixture of potassium
iodate and acetic acid-a reagent for adrenalin, the medulla became
violet in colour and the cortex remained colourless. SZENT-GYORGYI
therefore came to the conclusion that: -"The adrenal cortex
therefore, contains some specific highly reducing agent which can
be no arte fact, since its action is produced in the almost fresh
material. " Methyl alcohol extracts of the cortex reduced neutral
silver nitrate almost instantaneously and when the portions of the
interrenal glands of Elasmobranm fishes were treated with silver
nitrate solutions they too went black-so that it appeared that this
highly reducing factor was a funda mental constituent of adrenal
tissue."
This book presents fundmentals of orbit determination--from
weighted least squares approaches (Gauss) to today's high-speed
computer algorithms that provide accuracy within a few centimeters.
Numerous examples and problems are provided to enhance readers'
understanding of the material.
*Covers such topics as coordinate and time systems, square root
filters, process noise techniques, and the use of fictitious
parameters for absorbing un-modeled and incorrectly modeled forces
acting on a satellite.
*Examples and exercises serve to illustrate the principles
throughout each chapter.
*Detailed solutions to end-of-chapter exercises available to
instructors.
