John Wiley and Sons Ltd Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Book SynopsisFeaturing a range of commonly encountered and important conditions in women's health, Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Clinical Cases Uncovered allows the reader to understand normal reproductive physiology and anatomy in the context of clinical practice. It highlights aspects of good practice which in real life are considered beyond the presenting symptom. This unique case-based approach allows the reader to progress through each stage, gaining an understanding of the rationale for investigation and management and to consider other important aspects for holistic care. Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Clinical Cases Uncovered is ideal for medical students and junior doctors, obstetrics and gynaecology trainees, midwives and nurse practitioners.Trade Review"I have purchased three of your books: Paediatics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Haematology. I have found the story-telling style and the level of detail contained in the cases to be balanced nicely so that it retains a realism that other case books lack and that reader remains engaged in the outcome of the investigations and the end-point of the case. All in all, these series make for interesting and entertaining reads which ultimately renders them an excellent learning tool.” - Medical Student,Trinity College Dublin "I think that junior doctors and surgical care practitioners will find this to be a useful reference source. Junior doctors will particularly appreciate the book for revision purposes. Perioperative educationalists will gain some benefit from reading as will any practitioner working in obstetrics and gynaecology that wishes to understand more about the specialty than what is presented in front of them on a daily basis." - Journal of Perioperative Practice, 1 February 2011 "This volume provides concise coverage of a range of relevant clinical scenarios, with logical explanations along the way. It does not seek to replace topic or system-based texts, but represents good value for money as a learning adjunct, particularly for newcomers to the specialty." - The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, 2010Table of ContentsPreface.

An excellent contribution to research on gender and medicine! -- Rene Almeling, author of Sex Cells: The Medical Market for Eggs and SpermFeeling Medicine has the potential to carry forward the original GTA programs’ mission, to provide a feminist education to medical students about the pelvic exam, which is particularly important as medicine becomes further corporatized. * Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine *

Springer London Ltd Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Book SynopsisThis book provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive aspects of evaluation and therapy of female pelvic floor dysfunction. It is edited by well-known international surgeons with clinical practices within one tertiary referral institution, the Pelvic Floor Center at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston (Fort Lauderdale), Florida which serves as a National and International referral center for women with symptomatic pelvic floor problems. Recognized worldwide for its excellence, Cleveland Clinic departments of Gynecology, Urology, and Colorectal Surgery have combined their expertise in producing this text. Focused on urinary incontinence & other voiding dysfunctions, fecal incontinence & other distal gastroenterologic problems, genital and rectal prolapse, & other recognized pelvic floor problems, the book should be of great interest to the practicing Gynecologist/Urogynecologist, Urologist, and Colorectal Surgeon as well as Sexual Dysfunction specialist, Gastroenterologist and Physical Therapist. Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The authors wanted the book to translate the concept of a center approach to diseases of the pelvic floor where experts from all the three specialties that manage pelvic floor disorders provide their input. Indeed the authors were successful in getting together experts from their centers to contribute to a nicely organized book that translate their vision. Overall this is a well organized book that fulfills the vision of combining all the diseases of pelvic floor disorders in one text. I like the idea of grouping the disease entities under common syndromes to all the organ systems. I think that the cross talk among the three different specialties that deal with pelvic floor disorders will definitely help our patient population and I hope that the concept of a unified center/specialty will become a widely adapted practice pattern for the same reason." (Adonis K. Hijaz, Doody Enterprises, Inc. - COPYRIGHT 2006) "The information provided in this publication will be of interest for an interdisciplinary approach to pelvic floor diseases; helpful not only for urologists but for all practitioners involved in the treatment of these patients." (Paul Meria, European Urology Today, August 2006, page 33) "This book deals with the pelvic floor as a whole, mixing urologic, gynaecologic and colorectal situations. This is in accordance with the multidisciplinary approach many centres try to set up today for the greatest benefit of the patients. … it could be of interest for the general surgeon or the trainee, looking for an easy and complete overview of this field."

John Wiley & Sons Inc Premature Menopause
Book SynopsisUncertainty and negative expectations are common responses to the menopause. When it happens too early (sometimes as young as 16) it can be particularly distressing with concerns about physical health, as well as possible social and emotional consequences. Young women are faced with a condition, the causes of which are not well understood, and about which very little is written in medical or lay literature. In medical texts premature menopause is typically mentioned only in passing, and from the woman's perspective it remains a hidden secret. This can only compound the difficulty for women for whom the life process has suddenly swept into fast forward. Premature menopause can have profound implications both for the woman herself and her partner and family. She is faced with physical and emotional concerns that are usually not considered until much later in life, such as: will she age prematurely? will she need to take long-term medication? will she come to terms with loss of fertility? are there alternative treatments? are there consequences for her future health?Table of ContentsSection 1.

Mac Keith Press An Atlas of Neonatal Brain Sonography
Book SynopsisThis Atlas covers the entire spectrum of brain disease as studied with ultrasound, illustrated throughout with superb-quality images. It is aimed at neonatologists and radiologists confronted with everyday clinical questions on the neonatal ward. Most newborn brain disorders can be identified with ultrasound; this book will therefore be particularly useful in settings with limited MRI facilities. Prenatal ultrasound specialists will also find it valuable as a postnatal reference in their field of interest. Suggestions for differential diagnosis accompany all the sonographic findings, guiding the clinician in proceeding from an abnormal image to a diagnosis. This second edition of the Atlas has been brought up to date to include the many advances in technique and interpretation that have been made in the past decade. The images have been replaced with new ones of higher quality, and all the line artwork has been standardised and improved. Readership Neonatologists, radiologists, neuroradiologists with an interest in neonatal ultrasound From reviews of the first edition: "This is the most challenging and comprehensive book on this theme, and is an essential reference for clinicians to make a correct diagnosis." —Satoshi Takada, Brain and Development "This can be little doubt that this title represents the definitive work on neonatal cranial ultrasound. The authors have had extensive experience in the use of ultrasound scanning the neonatal brain for almost as long as ultrasound has been used to investigate intracranial pathology on the neonatal unit. Their combined experience is most impressive." —Malcolm Leven, Archives of Disease in ChildhoodTrade Review"It is times such as this that an atlas showcasing clear examples of pathology can be turned to for guidance and pieced together with physical examination and behavioral assessments of the infant to determine the proper course of further treatment. This book should be kept handy in the newborn nursery, neonatal intensive care, and pediatric clinics following up with children born with any type of congenital or acquired brain injury." (MedicalScienceBooks.com, 2012) "This is a superb book with wonderful illustrations and is probably the most comprehensive text on neonatal cranial sonography." (Doody's, October 2010) "This revised edition not only includes improved ultrasonic imaging as a result of technological advancements but also highlights the advantages of using additional acoustic windows for greater visualisation of the neonatal brain. The author’s foresight in combining the sonographic images with the far superior image resolution of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the reader a more accurate reflection of the underlying pathology in question. Scattered throughout each chapter is additional diagrams, specimen photographs, schematics and tables to give a well rounded but succinct synopsis of the intended subject discussed ...I would highly recommend this atlas accompany the clinician during any cranial ultrasound examination of the newborn as the overall layout allows for quick referencing and can only improve the quality of the examination."

Rutgers University Press The Love Surgeon: A Story of Trust, Harm, and the
Book SynopsisDr. James Burt believed women’s bodies were broken, and only he could fix them. In the 1950s, this Ohio OB-GYN developed what he called “love surgery,” a unique procedure he maintained enhanced the sexual responses of a new mother, transforming her into “a horny little house mouse.” Burt did so without first getting the consent of his patients. Yet he was allowed to practice for over thirty years, mutilating hundreds of women in the process. It would be easy to dismiss Dr. Burt as a monstrous aberration, a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein. Yet as medical historian Sarah Rodriguez reveals, that’s not the whole story. The Love Surgeon asks tough questions about Burt’s heinous acts and what they reveal about the failures of the medical establishment: How was he able to perform an untested surgical procedure? Why wasn’t he obliged to get informed consent from his patients? And why did it take his peers so long to take action?The Love Surgeon is both a medical horror story and a cautionary tale about the limits of professional self-regulation.Trade Review"The Love Surgeon is an important, riveting story that has great relevance to contemporary issues in medical ethics and science policy. Rodriguez has drawn on a broad range of sources to create a lively and engaging book." -- Heather Munro Prescott * author of The Morning After: A History of Emergency Contraception in the United States *"We need thoughtful medical historians to counter assumed narratives, and Sarah Rodriguez proves exactly why journalists’ accounts fail us. Taking the normative account of a 'love surgeon,' Rodriguez weaves a brilliant accounting of medical regulation and the structure of surgical innovation with journalists’ responses to a seemingly 'one off' horror story of the medicalizing of women’s bodies and patients’ experiences.

She documents, with perceptive, sobering detail, how existing traditions of informed consent and medical self-regulation failed to rein in this self-styled 'Love Doctor.'

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Gynecology: A CREOG and Board Exam Review
Book SynopsisThis book is a thorough and easy-to-use guide to gynecology for residents preparing for their CREOG and board examinations. Books available for gynecology residents are generally either clinically directed or academically based. The books in the first group are usually brief, suitable as handbooks for residents to use during daily practice. These books, however, do not provide adequate background information to prepare for CREOG or ABOG board examinations. The more academically-focused books provide detailed background, but do not offer simple and quick assistance during daily practice or studying. This book aims to provide the most beneficial parts of both products.Throughout, the material is simplified and well-organized to provide an excellent resource for clinical practice, with ample use of bullets and key points. The content is also comprehensive, providing the appropriate background knowledge and a systematic approach that makes it an excellent source for the board examination. Topics are divided into four sections: general gynecology, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and gynecology oncology. Chapters then cover all major topics in each area, including uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, and genital infections. Each chapter additionally includes multiple choice questions for residents to test their knowledge of the material.This is an ideal guide for residents in OBGYN and practicing gynecologists looking for a refresher and quick reference.Table of ContentsSECTION I: GENERAL GYNECOLOGY.- Basics of Gynecology.- Menstrual Disturbance.- Genital Infection.- Contraception.- Uterine Fibroids.- Chronic Pelvic Pain.- SECTION II: UROGYNECOLOGY.- Urinary Incontinence.- Pelvic Organ Prolapse.- Genital Trauma.- Urodynamic Study.- SECTION III: REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY AND INFERTILITY.- Infertility.- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss.- Fertility Preservation.- Thyroid with Infertility.- Müllerian Abnormalities.- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.- Hyperprolactinemia.- Precocious Puberty.- SECTION IV: GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY.- Lower Genital Track Cancers.- Uterine Corpus Cancers.- Ovarian Tumors.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Contemporary Obstetrics and Gynecology for
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide to obstetrics and gynecology in developing countries. Although significant progress has been made towards the reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity globally, they are still unacceptably high in developing countries. This can be directly or indirectly tied to poor quality maternal health care and lack of access to cost-effective, comprehensive healthcare. Health practitioners in developing countries also contend with trying to keep abreast of recent developments in obstetrics and gynecology while dealing with lack of time, resources, and access to relevant information. This textbook was thus created by experts in obstetrics and gynecology with extensive experience in African clinical settings and consultants in developed countries to teach proper and accurate diagnosis, treatment and management of gynecologic and obstetric health issues within the context of developing countries.This second edition has been fully updated throughout with an added 25+ chapters that cover topics such as reproductive health, gynecological cancers and research methods. The book is divided into six sections: Women’s Reproductive Health; Obstetrics; Medical and Surgical Disorders in Pregnancy; General Gynecology; Gynecological Malignancies; Health Systems Organization, Research Methodology and Biostatistics. These section topics have been carefully covered by expert authors with the use of valid scientific data, policy instruments, and adapted to the cultural and social context of developing countries, with particular in depth coverage of conditions that have greater prevalence and incidence in developing countries. Each chapter also focuses on filling gaps in knowledge with a distinct pedagogical approach, starting with a set of learning objectives and ending with key takeaways for the chapter.This is an ideal guide for residents, medical students, practitioners of obstetrics and gynecology, midwives, general practitioners, and pediatricians, particularly those working in developing companies.Table of ContentsSECTION 1: WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH.- Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: An Overview.- Clinical Diagnosis in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.- Maternal Mortality in Developing Countries.- Preventing Perinatal Mortality in Developing Countries.- Abortion.- Female Circumcision/Mutilation/Cutting.- Reproductive Epidemiology, Health Status and Burden of Disability.- SECTION 2: OBSTETRICS.- Preconceptional Counselling and Prenatal Care.- Ultrasound in Labour and Delivery.- Evidence-Based Antenatal Care.- Fetal Growth Abnormalities, Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Macrosomia.- Management of Normal and Abnormal Labour.- Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM).- Induction of Labour.- Electronic fetal Monitoring.- Operative Vaginal Delivery.- Breech Presentation and Delivery.- Caesarean Delivery and Peri-partum Hysterectomy.- Obstetrical Analgesia and Anaesthesia.- Aetiology and Management of Obstetric Haemorrhage.- Preterm Birth.- The Puerperium.- SECTION 3: MEDICAL AND SURGICAL DISORDERS IN PREGNANCY.- Intensive Care Management of Trauma During Pregnancy.- Cardiovascular Disorders in Pregnancy.- Respiratory Disorders in Pregnancy.- Hypertension in Pregnancy.- Critical-Care Management of Severe Preeclampsia-Eclampsia and Obstetric Hypertensive Crisis.- Haemoglobinopathies in Pregnancy.- Anaemia in Pregnancy.- Diabetes in Pregnancy.- Venous Thromboembolism In Pregnancy.- Inherited Bleeding Disorders in Pregnancy.- Haematological Disorders in Pregnancy.- Mental Health Disorders in Pregnancy and Puerperium.- HIV in Pregnancy.- Non-HIV Viral Infections in Pregnancy.- Neoplastic Diseases in Pregnancy.- Oral Health in Pregnancy.- Ectopic Pregnancy.- Prevention and Management of Recurrent Miscarriage.- SECTION 4: GENERAL GYNAECOLOGY.- Control of Sexually Transmitted Infections Through Integrated Reproductive Health Services.- Uterine Fibroid and Hysterectomy.- Endometriosis.- Chronic Pelvic Pain.- Infertility.- Laparoscopy.- Pelvic Organ Prolapse.- Urogynaecology.- Obstetric and Non-Obstetric Fistulas.- Amenorrhea and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.- Menopause.- Physiotherapy in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.- SECTION 5: GYNAECOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES.- Rising Burden of Gynaecological Cancers in Developing Countries.- Molecular Biology of Gynaecological Cancers.- Gestational Trophoblastic Disease.- Cancers of the Vulva and Vagina.- Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention.- Cancer of the Uterine Corpus.- Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.- Germ Cell Tumours of the Ovary.- Principle of Radiation Therapy for Gynaecological Cancers.- Emerging Trends and Best Practices in Hospice and Palliative Care.- SECTION 6: HEALTH SYSTEMS ORGANISATION, RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND BIOSTATISTICS.- Leadership of Health Care Teams, Organisations and Systems: Implications for Curriculum Revision in Medical Education.- Mobilising Human and Financial Resources for Maternal Health.- The Role of Professional Associations in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.- Ethics, Liability, and Risk Management in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.- Human Rights and Legal Treaties relevant to Obstetrics and Gynaecology.- Evaluation of Clinical Significance in Intervention Research.- The Common Statistical Faux Pas in Journal Publications.- Survey Research Major Methodological Flaws: Caveat Lector.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Anthropologies of Global Maternal and
Book SynopsisThis open access edited book brings together new research on the mechanisms by which maternal and reproductive health policies are formed and implemented in diverse locales around the world, from global policy spaces to sites of practice. The authors – both internationally respected anthropologists and new voices – demonstrate the value of ethnography and the utility of reproduction as a lens through which to generate rich insights into professionals’ and lay people’s intimate encounters with policy. Authors look closely at core policy debates in the history of global maternal health across six different continents, including: Women’s use of misoprostol for abortion in Burkina Faso The place of traditional birth attendants in global maternal health Donor-driven maternal health programs in Tanzania Efforts to integrate qualitative evidence in WHO maternal and child health policy-making Anthropologies of Global Maternal and Reproductive Health will engage readers interested in critical conversations about global health policy today. The broad range of foci makes it a valuable resource for teaching in medical anthropology, anthropology of reproduction, and interdisciplinary global health programs. The book will also find readership amongst critical public health scholars, health policy and systems researchers, and global public health practitioners.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Current and Emerging
Book SynopsisNow in a completely newly revised and expanded second edition, this comprehensive text presents the current state of the art in our understanding and management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common hormonal disorder of reproductive aged women. The numerous bothersome symptoms of PCOS include menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, acne, scalp hair thinning, weigh excess and infertility; additionally, as they age, women with PCOS are at a higher risk for metabolic abnormalities such as diabetes and dyslipidemias, as well as for cardiovascular disease and even certain cancers. Despite improvements in our understanding of this condition, the exact cause/s of PCOS remain elusive; genetic, hormonal, metabolic and environmental underpinnings are all suggested as relevant. All chapters have been updated, with eight new chapters added across seven thematic sections. Part one discusses the epidemiology of PCOS in both adults and adolescents. Part two covers the pathophysiology of PCOS, including genetics, the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and obesity. The next three sections present the various management strategies, medical and surgical, for harnessing the symptomatology, including PCOS-related infertility; these chapters include added case material to provide real-world examples of the treatments in action and their efficacy. Part six covers the comorbidities that women with PCOS commonly encounter, such as issues of mental health, sleep disturbances, endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer, as well as examines the economic burden of PCOS. The final section discusses emerging concepts surrounding possible mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches to PCOS, including angiogenic dysfunction, the role of vitamin D, future potential therapies to targeted AMH signaling. The closing chapter, by familiarizing the readers with the intergenerational implications of PCOS and by raising awareness of potential “ripple effects”, aims at alerting the community on a need for vigilance as regards the health of PCOS progeny. With contributions from leaders in the field, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Second Edition remains the gold-standard text on this common medical condition and a valuable resource for the wide range of healthcare professionals engaged in caring for the women with PCOS (including but not limited to reproductive endocrinologists, gynecologists, family physicians, dermatologists, mental health professionals), for the aspiring women's health providers of tomorrow, and for the researchers who are striving to unravel the mysteries of the complex entity that PCOS is.Table of Contents

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Atlas of Robotic, Conventional, and Single-Port
Book SynopsisMinimally invasive surgery has emerged as the standard treatment for many gynecologic diseases and conditions. In the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated the superiority of laparoscopic approaches over standard open procedures in terms of improved quality of life for patients. Innovations in minimally invasive surgical technology—such as multichannel ports, articulating instruments, and flexible high-definition endoscopes—have made it possible for laparoscopic surgeons to perform increasingly complicated gynecologic surgeries through smaller incisions. As such, since the first edition of the atlas published in 2014, technologies and techniques once considered novel have become standard. This second edition, with five new chapters and content updated throughout to reflect the latest evolutions in the field, serves as a guide in robotic, conventional, and single-port laparoscopic surgery, presenting invaluable, up-to-date information about instrumentation, surgical technique, port systems, and the current research and development in robotics. Chapters address unique challenges associated with each technique, such as lack of haptic feedback or articulation and instrument crowding, and describe the advanced laparoscopic skills required to safely and efficiently perform procedures, such as how to move and control a flexible camera or use the robot. Specific topics include conventional laparoscopic myomectomy, adnexal surgery, total and supracervical hysterectomy, and excision of endometriosis excision, as well as related techniques in gynecologic oncology, urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, tubal surgery and ectopic pregnancy, isthmocele repair, and trachelectomy for early cervical cancer. For single-port laparoscopic techniques, chapters are presented on adnexal surgery, hysterectomy, and gynecologic oncology, while the section on robotic surgery offers guidance on instrumentation, platforms, and basic principles; robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy, total hysterectomy for benign disease, endometriosis management, and total hysterectomy for cancer; as well as techniques for robotic adnexal surgery, urogynecology/pelvic reconstructive surgery, tubal surgery, and complication management, concluding with a review of new and emerging technologies. For students, residents, fellows, operating room personnel, and practicing gynecologic surgeons, the editors share experience amassed while developing novel surgical instrumentation and collaborating on presentations for numerous worldwide events. Internationally renowned experts contribute as well to this practical, illustrated resource on current minimally invasive techniques in gynecologic surgery. Table of ContentsSection I.

De Gruyter Smooth muscle and stromal tumors and prevention
Book SynopsisThe subject matter of volume 1 of the 2-volumes-handbook focusses on leiomyosarcoma, low-grade and high-grade endometrial sarcoma and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma of the whole female genitalia. A separate extensive chapter is devoted to the variants of leiomyoma (angio-, lipo-, cotyledonoid, cellular, mitotically active, epithelioid and myxoid leiomyoma, leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei), atypical smooth muscle tumors (smooth muscle tumors with uncertain malignant potential), and disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis, benign metastasizing leiomyoma, and intravenous leiomyomatosis. Furthermore, endometrial stromal tumors – endometrial stromal nodules, endometrial stromal tumor with sex cord-like elements (ESTSCLE), uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT) - and similar tumors are described in detail. The book provides a description at length of the epidemiology, etiology, pathological anatomy, prognosis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, imaging and comprehensive therapy of each primary, relapsed, and metastasized tumor including surgery, chemo-, hormone- and radio- and targeted therapy. Another chapter is devoted to the prevention of subjecting sarcomas to inadequate surgical therapeutic measures under the assumed diagnosis of leiomyoma, and includes a diagnostic-therapeutic flowchart with a diagnostic score. The book aims to identify and provide diagnostic and therapeutic guidance. The listed tumor entities also constitute a particular diagnostic challenge for pathologists that contains numerous pitfalls and difficulties. This book, therefore, addresses gynecologists and pathologists in both clinical and private practice, but also surgeons and hemato-oncologists.
