Development of Normal Fetal Movements
In the later stages of gestation, fetal functions undergo increasing change and development, preparing the fetus for the transition to its postnatal environment. Rapid maturation is witnessed in breathing, swallowing, sensory functions, sleep, and many other processes, with corresponding behavioral changes. By 35 to 40 weeks of gestation, fetuses are capable of living ex utero without support, but it is increasingly appreciated that even infants born at between 35 and 36 weeks can suffer long-term consequences. This book, which complements the author’s previous volume on development of normal fetal movements during the first 25 weeks of gestation, discusses in detail the full range of behavioral phenomena observed during the final 15 weeks of gestation, with careful analysis of their mutual relationships. A key feature is the outstanding photographic material, difficult to obtain at this late stage, and the instructive graphs that are also included. The information provided will alert clinicians to deviations from the norm and to physiologic phenomena that can turn pathologic in infants born prematurely.
Culto del feto
Di feti un tempo non si parlava, l’argomento era scomodo, perfino respingente. Nel giro di qualche decennio tutto è cambiato. I feti sono oggi un argomento di moda, hanno acquisito uno status iconico, compaiono su riviste, ispirano gadget e sono diventati creature di fantasia su cui proiettiamo le nostre emozioni. Che cosa ha provocato questo nuovo atteggiamento nei loro confronti? La questione viene affrontata da tre punti di vista. Per prima cosa si esaminano i progressi sociali, tecnologici e scientifici, e l’impatto di questi nelle società occidentali: dagli anni Sessanta al nuovo millennio le idee su gravidanza e maternità sono mutate radicalmente. Viene poi adottata una prospettiva più scientifica per analizzare come i feti crescono, si sviluppano e si comportano. Infine si indagano altre culture, poco toccate dalle moderne tecnologie, in cui donne incinte e bambini muoiono in continuazione e il feto non ha alcun valore.

Development of Normal Fetal Movements
This work sees the light for various reasons. There is a general lack of detailed information about the earliest stages of human motor development. The reasons for this are explained more fully in the Introduction; here we may simply state that, apart from their intrinsic interest, earlier phenomena are fundamental to the comprehension of later phenomena rooted in them, whether pathological or normal. This is especially so in the rapidly - veloping young organism. At birth the neonate is catapulted into a profoundly different physical and social envir- ment requiring extremely diverse functioning: suffice it to mention aerial respiration, no longer being fed through the placenta and the cord, and the full impact of gravity on neonatal movements. The neonate generally adapts smoothly to the transition, as it has been equipped to do so during the 9 months of pregnancy. However, the study of the early stages of fetal motor development should not be exclusively directed towards the und- standing of functioning in the neonate.
Twins in the World
In this compelling narrative Piontelli explores the different roles that twins play in societies around the world. In her travels around the world, Piontelli has studied the role of twins, especially throughout Africa, Asia, South America, and the Pacific rim, observing different cultural perspectives and how differing societies treat them.
