Taylor & Francis Ltd A Dictionary of Congenital Malformations and Disorders
Book SynopsisThis is a complete, medically reliable dictionary of congenital malformations and disorders. As the authors explain, Down syndrome is the only common congenital disorder; the other defects and disorders are rare or very rare, some having been reported fewer than 20 times worldwide.This dictionary covers them all. Examples:Aagenaes syndrome is due to congenital hypoplasia of lymph vessels, which causes lymphedema of the legs and recurrent cholestasis in infancy, and slow progress to hepatic cirrhosis and giant-cell hepatitis with fibrosis of the portal tracts.Acrocallosal syndrome is characterized by total or partial absence of the corpus callosum, craniofacial dysmorphism, polydactyly, and severe mental retardation. Other features can be retinal pigmentation anomalies, optic atrophy, strabismus, nystagmus, cleft lip and palate, cardiovascular anomalies, hernia, abnormal nipples, and fits.Acrodysostosis is characterized by prenatal growth deficiency, brachycephalTable of Contents1.

Berghahn Books Making Multiple Babies: Anticipatory Regimes of
Book Synopsis Human beings have been producing more twins, triplets, and quadruplets than ever before, due to the expansion of medically assisted conception. This book analyzes the anticipatory regimes of making multiple babies. With archival documents, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and registry data, this book traces the global and local governance of the assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) used to tackle multiple pregnancy since the 1970s, highlighting the early promotion of single embryo transfer in Belgium and Japan and the making of the world’s most lenient guidelines in Taiwan.Trade Review “This book is a fascinating and insightful read … The author presents the concept of "anticipatory governance" as a means of exploring the evolving regulation of IVF. This is very useful and something I will certainly apply in my own work.” • Andrea Whittaker, Monash UniversityTable of Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations Introduction Chapter 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Color Atlas of Human Fetal and Neonatal Histology
Book SynopsisThe first edition of Color Atlas of Fetal and Neonatal Histology was an important step in updating the histology texts available to practicing pathologists and pathology trainees who perform fetal autopsy and/or participate in research involving fetal tissues. It was a well-received volume that filled a major gap in pathology references related to normal histology and provided a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of fetal and neonatal histology. While the basics of fetal histology have changed little in the intervening years since publication of the first edition, this successor edition provides new insights and a fresh perspective.This book contains six new chapters including: blood vessels and lymphatics, external genitalia, eye, ear, skin, and maceration changes. Many existing chapters have also been expanded to address a greater breadth of fetal and neonatal histology such as postnatal testis development and the cardiac conduction system. The “Special Considerations” sections were also expanded in many chapters to address particularly problematic issues within individual organ systems. The book reviews the histology of the major organ systems in the fetus and neonate and provides detailed images, up-to-date references, and practical guidelines for identifying tissues across all gestational ages of development. The second edition of Color Atlas of Fetal and Neonatal Histology serves as the ultimate go-to resource for pathologists and researchers dealing with, and interested in, fetal and neonatal histology. It provides a comprehensive summary of the current status of the field with excellent and extensive illustrative examples that help guide the clinical study of fetal and neonatal histology and stimulate investigative efforts with fetal tissue.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd How New Humans Are Made: Cells And Embryos, Twins
Book SynopsisIt is not okay to call something a miracle without even trying to understand it. This is human developmental biology (human embryology, in terms of cells and molecules) for everyone curious enough to see it through, from the perspective of the business of becoming human — as individuals and as species; making new humans; how it happens (cells do it, ALL of it); and common variations of the process.It cannot be made quite simple and be kept quite true, but we will move as far toward simple as we can without losing touch with sound evidence. Variations from the “normal” version of the process, particularly malformations and twinning and chimerism, figure prominently in the story because there is no better way to learn about the usual than to study the unusual and see what differences in the endings these observable differences at the beginnings can make.In this book, when technical terminology is the only way, or the best way, to say what needs to be said, it is defined and explained — making the words a worthwhile part of what is here to be learned.This book defines its own new field. We cannot claim to understand how anything [human] works [as human], with no effort at understanding the emergence of its form and functions. Old and new unanswered questions are waiting to be dug out from under old unquestioned answers about how becoming human unfolds. We will also address some popular and weighty, but deeply empty assertions about the circumstances and mechanisms of our beginnings and our ceaseless becoming. We will find fundamental questions from ‘the humanities’ unanswerable except from biology. Human developmental biology is a foundational discipline within the humanities.Table of ContentsA Place to Start; Framing the Perspective; Schizophrenia, Brain Asymmetry, and Genetic Twin Studies of Multifactorial Inheritance; What It Means to be Human Has a Lot to Do with Why "Means" Means What It Means, if Anything; The Road through Syngamy and on through Embryogenesis; The Beginnings of Human Lives; Reviewing the Orthodoxy; Chorion, Amnion and the Vertebrate Body Plan; On the Zygosity of Twins; Most Twins Are Not Twins; Twins and Twinning in Perspective; Timing is Everything. Oocyte Maturation, Fertilization and Seasonal Rhythms; Twins and Handedness and Mirror-Imaging; Twins and Malformations; Twins and Teeth; Testosterone Cannot Explain Specialness of Girls with Twin Brothers; The Legacy of Weinberg's Red Herring; A... Now, About This Chimerism Thing A...; Spontaneous Dizygotic Twinning and Chimerism; The Logic of DNA Genotyping and Forensic Implications of Chimerism.
