Springer Atlas of Human Prenatal Morphogenesis
Book SynopsisA little picture is worth a million words. Chinese proverb Prenatal human development is an extremely complicated process related to genetics, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology. There are no developmental changes, either chemical or morphologic, without simultaneous changes in molecular organization. The astonishing buildup ofbiostructures always precedes their proper function. The development of an embryo is genetically coded and is based on interactions related to the selective switching on and off of genes. Interactions are cell-to-cell mediated, mediated by extracellular fluids, or mediated by special pathways. Every substance involved in developmental is to be recognized by its target. interactions, before triggering a metabolic or a morphogenic event, Complex physical and immunologic recognitions are involved in the process of differentiation. Small pieces of evidence are collected to create a mosaic picture elucidating the development. This picture is fascinating and represents the biggest biological puzzle: the puzzle of development. There is no doubt that analysis of human prenatal development is a basis for understanding normal and pathologic relationships between structure and function. Today, there are approximately 2000 different inborn congenital anomalies and syndromes. This book attempts to present a complete realistic account of human morphogenesis, the differentiation of structures, using direct photographs of normal specimens obtained from legal medical abortions of unwanted pregnancies. Emphasis has been placed on contemporary techniques: histochemistry and scanning electron microscopy. The text is as simple as possible; meticulous detailed anatomic descriptions have been omitted.Table of ContentsMaterial and methods.- 1.

Springer Second-Trimester Abortion: Perspectives After a
Book SynopsisIrvin M. Cushner, MD, MPH It is both remarkable and, at the same time, a sign of this era of rapid change that one can refer back to the "infancy" of a field which has existed for barely more than a decade. Yet, one now reads of the "maturing" of the family planning and abortion fields, both of which were incorporated into our society and integrated into our health care system within the past ten years. Indeed, in the very year that this book is being prepared, we note the tenth anniversaries of several significant events of 1970: 1) the enactment of Title X of the Public Health Service Act, establishing a Federal program in family planning; 2) the first issuance by a major health-related organization (the APHA) of a policy statement advocating repeal of all abortion laws; and 3) the enactment, by New York State, of an abortion law whose only restric tion was that it be performed by a licensed physician and the subse quent action, the first by any local health department (New York City), to assure both its implementation and its quality. They were, indeed, eventful days. These three events seemed to presage a then-unprecedented acceptance of fertility regulation as a right and as a needed service.Table of ContentsI Overview.- 1 Second-Trimester Abortion: A Global View.- 2 Second-Trimester Induced Abortion in the United States.- 3 The Availability of Second-Trimester Abortion Services in the United States.- II The Second Trimester of Pregnancy.- 4 Anatomy.- 5 Ultrasonic Evaluation.- 6 Physiology.- III Methods of Second-Trimester Abortion.- 7 Hypertonic Saline Instillation.- 8 Prostaglandin Procedures.- 9 Hyperosmolar Urea.- 10 Dilatation and Evacuation.- 11 Laminaria and Other Adjunctive Methods.- IV Evaluation.- 12 Morbidity and Mortality.- 13 Future Reproduction.- 14 The Role of Health Agencies.- 15 Recommended Procedures for Evaluation of Abortion Techniques.- V Related Issues.- 16 How Much is a Fetus Worth?.- 17 Social Issues.- 18 Psychological Impact on Patients and Staff.- 19 Emotional Issues for Professionals.- 20 Counseling Issues.- 21 Postabortal Contraception.- VI International Considerations: The Dutch Abortion Experience.- 22 Second-Trimester Abortion Services in the Netherlands.- 23 Aspirotomy.- 24 Complications of Aspirotomy.- VII Future Directions.- 25 The Future of Second-Trimester Abortion in the United States.- 26 The Future of Second-Trimester Abortion Throughout the World.- 27 Preventing the Need for Second-Trimester Abortion.- 28 Contragestational Agents.

Springer Human Parturition: New concepts and developments
Book SynopsisIn recent years there has been an impressive surge of interest in the mecha nisms which control the onset and the maintenance of labour. Much of it stems from a constant awareness that gestational age at birth is still an important factor in neonatal mortality and morbidity. Advances in the sensitivity and specificity of immunoassay, the discovery of the prosta glandins, new skills in fetal surgery and chronic catheterisation in experi mental animals have greatly stimulated further research in this area. In the meantime clinicians became continuously more aware that, despite consider able advances in perinatal medicine, gestational age at birth remains the major determinant of neonatal mortality and morbidity. It led them to seek new and better ways of controlling uterine function whether by influencing cervical ripeness, by stimulating or by inhibiting myometrial contractility. This volume uniquely combines knowledge which has been gained from both experimental and clinical research on parturition. A brief outline of current evidence on the control of parturition in experimental animals may be fruitful in delineating problems and hypotheses for further study in human pregnancy. Much of our present day knowledge of human parturition has been gained by checking such data against experimental findings, careful measurements and clinical observations in human pregnancy. It is hoped that the interdisciplinary nature of this volume will enhance the understanding of human parturition and stimulate further research in this area. Thanks are due to Miss H. Wittenberg and Mrs M.Table of ContentsParturition in small mammals.- Parturition in sheep.- Parturition in the rhesus monkey.- Some physiological aspects of uterine contractility in man.- Function of pituitary hormones in human parturition — a comparison with data in the rat.- Corticosteroids and the fetal adrenal in human parturition.- Role of progesterone and oestrogens in the control of the onset of labour in man: a continuing controversy.- Endogenous prostaglandins in human parturition.- Influencing uterine contractility with oxytocin.- Induction of labor with prostaglandins.- Inhibition of uterine contractility with ?-mimetic drugs.- The use of inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis in obstetrics.- The management of the unripe cervix.- Epidemiology of pre-term labour.- Prevention of pre-term labour.- Epidemiology of postmaturity.- Index of subjects.

Springer Physiology and Pathology in the Perinatal Period
Book SynopsisThe course of history is never one of smooth progression. Periods of relative quietness are interrupted by periods of wars and revolution. This pattern resembles that of a river which, before flowing into the delta, has to pass countless rapids. The same holds for the development of the science of medicine. In obstetrics some of these 'revolutions' or 'rapids' consist of the introduction of conservative obstetrical treatment by Lucas Johann Boer at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the discovery of the cause of puerperal sepsis by Oliver Wendell Holmes and Semmelweiss between 1843 and 1847, the introduction of the principle of asepsis by Pasteur in 1874, the introduction of prenatal care at the end of the nine teenth and the beginning of the twentieth century (Mijnlieff, Treub, De Snoo), the improvement of surgical techniques, the possibility to treat shock by bloodtransfusion, and, finally, the acquisition of new means for the effective therapy of infection. All these developments have led to a sharp reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality. In this connection it must be pointed out that such a reduction could never have been accomplished without the favourable social changes as a result of which medical and prenatal care could be made universally available. In recent years there has been another revolutionary develop ment in obstetrics. Two factors have been responsible for this: the ap plication of basic sciences in obstetrics, and the dissolution of the isolation with respect to other clinical disciplines.Table of ContentsPreface.- Gas exchange between mother and foetus and placental design.- Glucose metabolism in the foetus in physiological and pathological circumstances.- Intrauterine pressure and the human foetus.- Foetal heartmonitoring and biochemical examination of the child during labour.- Iatrogenic fetal hypoxia.- The influence of anesthetic drugs on the foetus and newborn.- The influence of anesthesia on the acid-base values of mother and child.- Treatment of asphyxia of the newborn.- The incidence and treatment of hypoglycemia in the newborn.- Panel discussion Part I.- Panel discussion Part II.- Comparison of ventilators for newborns and prematures.- Artificial ventilation of infants.- Pathological findings in ventilated newborns.- Summing-up.- Panel discussion.- Index of subjects.

Springer Pediatric Andrology
Book SynopsisThe subject matter in this volume was derived from papers presented at the Pediatric Andrology session of the 1st Pan American Congress of Andrology held in Caracas, Venezuela in February 1979, as well as from selected additional manuscripts of interest in this field. Prior to this session, identification of a distinct discipline and specialty devoted to pediatric andrology had not occurred, nor had it been conceptualized. Pediatric andrology encompasses many different areas: disorders of sexual development, structural disease of the genital organs, normal and abnormal puberty, undescended testes, genital tumors, gonadal function and its relationship to growth, virilization, fertility and gender identity all represent areas of specific interest, to name but a few. Andrology itself is a unique field, bringing together clinicians and basic scientists with diverse back grounds. It should be noted that between one-half and three-quarters of the clinicians contributing to this issue conduct basic research as well. It has been this unique blend of basic research and clinical medicine which has done much to unravel many of these problems characteristic of this field.Table of Contents1.

Springer Consensus on Menopause Research: A Summary of International Opinion
Book SynopsisThis book contains a consensus on menopause research, a consensus reached during the First International Congress on the Menopause in June, 1976. The Congress brought together about 165 people, most of whom are engaged in research in this field, in the resort town of La Grande Motte, near Montpellier, France. It was planned so that the main emphasis would be on the exchange of information in small Workshop sessions. Workshop Chairmen were asked to present summaries of their deliberations at the closing session. It is these summaries that form the essence of this text. The Congress also included six Free Communications sessions. They are represented in this book by a small number of papers printed in full (selected from some 40 contributions in all) that in the opinion of the editors, contain data that particularly complement the Workshop summaries. All other papers are mentioned in these Pro ceedings by titles and by the name, affiliation and address of the first author. Organizing this Congress was a stimulating and heart-warming experience. It was done by the staff of the International Health Foundation in Brussels and Geneva, under the considerate auspices of the American Geriatric Society and the Medical Faculty of the University of Montpellier. We are deeply grateful to these two bodies.Table of ContentsSection A Consensus Reports by the Chairmen of the Workshops.- 1. The Climacteric Syndrome.- 2.

Springer Childbirth in Developing Countries
Book SynopsisThe need to improve maternal and child health care may be the most important global health need of the remaining years of the twentieth century. It is central to the World Health Organization's (WHO) goal of Health for All by the Year 2000. The vast majority of births occur in developing countries, where maternity care is often rudimentary. The rates of maternal and infant morbidity and death for these countries are extremely high but much of the morbidity and death is preventable, even with the limited resources available for health care in many parts of the world. The resources devoted to maternal and child care should be greatly expanded, but even the most hopeful projections will leave a wide gap between human needs and available services. WHO estimates that two billion deliveries in the remaining two decades of this century will not be attended by a trained person. At a minimum, it is probable that two million of these women will die in childbirth. There were approximately 130 million births in the world in 1980.Table of ContentsSection I: High-Risk Pregnancy.- 1 Childbearing after age 35: Its effect on early perinatal outcomes.- 2 Development of an index of high-risk pregnancy.- 3 Improving obstetric care by training traditional birth attendants, Fortaleza, Brazil.- Section II: Cesarean Delivery.- 4 Cesarean delivery in selected Latin American hospitals.- 5 Deliveries after cesarean birth in two Asian university hospitals.- 6 Management of breech presentations: vaginal or abdominal delivery?.- Section III: Birth Spacing: Determinants and Consequences.- 7 Child survivorship and pregnancy spacing in Iran.- 8 Infant and child survival and contraceptive use in the closed pregnancy interval.- 9 The effect of birth interval on perinatal survival and birth weight.- Section IV: Family Planning Services in the Maternity Hospital.- 10 Desire for additional children and contraceptive plans.- 11 Postpartum sterilization in Sao Paulo State, Brazil.- 12 Access to sterilization in two hospitals in Honduras.

Springer Metabolic Adaptation to Extrauterine Life: The antenatal role of carbohydrates and energy metabolism
Book Synopsisth th st . On December 19 ,20 and 21 1979, we had the opportunlty to organize a Workshop on "Antenatal factors affecting meta bolic adaptation to extrauterine life - Role of carbohydra tes and energy metabolism". This meeting was made possible thanks to grants from the Committee of Medical Research and Public Health (CRM) of the Commission of European Communi ties. We want to express our warmst gratitude for the effort that has been made and we hope that the exchange of information between the participants will allow better understanding of the mechanism of adaptation to extrauterine life and that the conclusions drawn will contribute to a better care of the newborn. Adaptation to extrauterine life is one of the most impor tant steps in life. At the moment of birth, numerous conditions are drastically changed and in order to survive the newborn has to rely upon new sources of energy and of substrates. This switch over has to occur smoothly and any adaptation failure will result in the disturbance of impor tant metabolic functions. Mortality and morbidity in neo natal period remain still very high in comparison with the figures observed later in life; the reduction of mortality has been much more important in child and adult than in neonates.Table of ContentsSession I : Carbohydrate Utilization in the Newborn.- The metabolism of glycogen in the liver of foetal and new-born rats.- Hormonal control of fetal liver glycogen metabolism.- Extrahepatic glycogen stores and their role in homeostasis.- Factors regulating blood glucose in the fetus and in the newborn.- Glucose turnover in the newborn rat.- Factors affecting intra uterine glycogen storage.- Factors affecting glucose metabolism in the newborn rat.- Carbohydrate metabolism in intrauterine growth retardation.- Discussion: Britton, Jones, Minkowski, Hull, Milner.- Session II : Energy Expenditure.- Caloric needs of the newborn..- Variations in the rate of oxygen consumption of newborn human infants.- Energy requirements for growth in the neonate.- The role of oleic acid as a substitute for glucose in brain cell cultures of neonatal mice.- Discussion: Britton, Hull, Girard, Bossi, Helge, Verellen, Minkowski.- Session III: Regulation of Insulin and Glucagon Secretion.- Insulin secretion and metabolism in the rat fetus during late gestation.- Glucagon secretion during the perinatal period.- Plasma insulin and glucagon in well-oxygenated and hypoxic fetal lambs.- Effects of insulin and glucagon on the mother and in the fetus.- Plasma corticosteroids in normal, premature and “small-for-dates” newborn infants throughout the neonatal period.- Somatomedin A activity in newborns.- Session IV: Practical Implications and General Discussion.- Effect of maternal diabetes on glucose regulation in the newborn.- Oral feeding recommendations in full-term and premature newborns.- Discussion: Eggermont, Salle, Teller, Shelley, De Meyer, Van Assche, Senterre, Verellen.- Summary, general discussion and some matters of thinking.

Book Synopsis"The first and taboo-breaking book on negative birthing experience. Will provide a big support for many women!" Tosca Gort, psychologist. "An eye-opener for women with birth trauma and a must-read for care professionals who want to learn more." Dr. Claire Stramrood, gynaecologist. "I wish this book had existed four years ago. My friends and family seemed to be pushing the joy of motherhood down my throat while, to me, the delivery felt more like a landslide. Thanks to Diana's coaching, I became the old Maria again." Maria, mum of two daughters. Childbirth deeply affects the life of a woman and her partner. Fortunately the effect is usually a positive one. Many people declare the day their child was born as the most beautiful day of their lives. However, giving birth can also be a negative experience, with long-term consequences. This book explains how a negative birthing might affect you, your relationship with your baby and your partner. With the help of practical exercises and honest accounts from women who have overcome birth trauma themselves, you will learn to process this experience and restore your inner balance. Described as "The first and taboo-breaking book on negative birthing experience," this book will provide a pillar for many women, who have been suffering in silence for too long.

Springer Verlag, Singapore New Assessment of Fetal Descent and Forceps
Book SynopsisThis book offers a highly informative guide to forceps devices and delivery techniques. Extensive figures and animations offer readers vivid insights into the fetus station, pelvis, and inserted forceps. The book covers normal presentation and abnormal rotation, presentation and attitudes, and especially focuses on the assessment of fetal descent. It discusses the problem with conventional fetal station, and explains the revised one based on the trapezoidal plane. Instrumental delivery is chosen in cases of worrisome fetal status, protracted labor, or maternal fatigue. Forceps can provides a greater pulling power than vacuum extraction, and the fetus can be delivered in a short time, though this technique calls for experience and technical proficiency. The book argues that in order to ensure safe and reliable forceps delivery, assessment of the fetal station and the site of the largest fetal head circumference is critical. The book offers a new and indispensable reference guide for all obstetricians, not only for residents, but also for all experienced professionals involved in the training of beginners, and even for those using vacuum extraction who would like to assess the fetus more objective and practically.Table of Contents1 New Concept of Fetal Station Based on the Trapezoidal Plane (T-Station).- 2 Properties and Characteristics of Forceps Delivery.- 3 Techniques for the Forceps Procedure.- 4 Kielland Forceps.- 5 Education.
