Developmental Toxicology
The Second Edition of this highly regarded work provides a state-of-the-art review of developmental toxicology from basic science, clinical, epidemiological, and regulatory perspectives. This new edition highlights the latest approaches to understanding the mechanisms of developmental toxicity, testing pharmaceutical and environmental agents, and interpreting developmental toxicity data.; The contributors demonstrate how new information on molecular embryology and cell biology is being applied to problems in developmental toxicology. Chapters describe the effects of toxic exposure on the functional development of various organs, examine the relationship between maternal and developmental toxicity, and discuss current techniques for studying chemical disposition, metabolism, and placental transfer. Close attention is given to the use of mathematical and statistical techniques in data interpretation, as well as to the regulatory aspects of testing and risk assessment. Other chapters focus on pre- and post conceptional clinical care and on genetic factors in clinical developmental toxicology.
Physiology of the Fetal and Neonatal Lung
L. B. STRANG The past 25 years have seen a remarkable growth in our knowledge of lung development in its structural, physiological and biochemical dimensions. Much of the impetus for research leading to new knowledge has derived from the perception that many respiratory disorders in the newborn infant are due to defective development or maladaption of some component or components of the respiratory system. Thus, to cite one example, surfac tant deficiency is clearly seen to be the cause of atelectasis in hyaline mem brane disease; and to cite another, it is widely accepted that the mechanisms controlling patency of the ductus arteriosus and pulmonary vascular resistance also determine the ri...
The Custom-Made Child?
Women most fully experience the consequences of human reproductive technologies. Men who convene to evaluate such technologies discuss "them": the women who must accept, avoid, or even resist these technologies; the women who consume technologies they did not devise; the women who are the objects of policies made by men. So often the input of women is neither sought nor listened to. The privileged insights and perspectives that women bring to the consideration of technologies in human reproduction are the subject of these volumes, which constitute the revised and edited record of a Workshop on "Ethical Issues in Human Reproduction Technology: Analysis by Women" (EIRTAW), held in June, 1979, ...
