This practical handbook will provide a 'start point' for clinicians and sonographers interested in the use of Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics. Used in conjunction with other feto-maternal measurements, Doppler is an invaluable tool in obstetric diagnosis, allowing the practitioner to screen the mother for pre-eclampsia and IUGR, and the fetus for a number of conditions including hypoxia, acidemia and anaemia. The book will begin by describing technical aspects of the technique, followed by an examination of the uterine and fetal vessels. A section of case histories will be used to illustrate typical clinical scenarios, as they have presented at the well-respected King's Unit. The book will be heavily illustrated with colour images, and will include practical 'hints' and guidelines throughout.
Self-Assessment by Ten Teachers presents a new opportunity for medical students to assess their levels of knowledge and understanding in obstetrics and gynaecology, and to practise their exam technique. Working well as a stand-alone book, this comprehensive self-assessment book is also designed to complement the well-known volumes 'Gynaecology by Ten Teachers' and 'Obstetrics by Ten Teachers', both of which have now reached their 18th editions. The book tests information covered in the two 'Ten Teachers' volumes via the full variety of exam question types - EMQs, MCQs, SAQs and OSCEs. Each answer has a short explanation of its own, and cross-references are also made to page numbers and topics in the main textbooks.
Tracing women’s experiences of miscarriage and termination for foetal anomaly in the second trimester, before legal viability, shows how such events are positioned as less ‘real’ or significant when the foetal being does not, or will not, survive. Invisible Labours describes the reproductive politics of this category of pregnancy loss in England. It shows how second trimester pregnancy loss produces specific medical and social experiences, revealing an underlying teleological ontology of pregnancy. Some women then understand their pregnancy through kinship with the unborn baby.
