Transcript Verlag Genetic Responsibility in Germany and Israel:
Book SynopsisPrenatal diagnosis, especially noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has changed the experience of pregnancy, prenatal care and responsibilities in Israel and Germany in different ways. These differences reflect the countries' historical legacies, medico-legal policies, normative and cultural identities. Building on this observation, the contributors of this book present conversations between leading scholars from Israel and Germany based on an empirical bioethical perspective, analyses about the reshaping of 'life' by biomedicine, and philosophical reflections on socio-cultural claims and epistemic horizons of responsibilities. Practices and discussions of reproductive medicine transform the concepts of responsibility and irresponsibility.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Innovations In Neonatal-perinatal Medicine:
Book SynopsisInnovations in technology and new therapies have changed the face of medicine in the last few decades. These include advances in fetal diagnosis (preimplantation genetics, chorionic villous sampling and amniocentesis), drugs that have been developed to treat unique conditions in neonates such as respiratory distress syndrome (surfactant) and pulmonary hypertension (inhaled nitric oxide), as well as technological advances and interventions resulting in diagnostic (ultrasounds and MRI) and therapeutic interventions (intrauterine transfusion to ECMO). Research in fertility treatments has resulted in test tube babies and cloned animals, and that has also fostered technological advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.The primary purpose of Innovations in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine is to highlight these innovations in technology and therapy that have not only changed the way doctors deliver care to fetus and neonate but also reduced neonatal mortality thereby saving millions of lives in the process. These issues are addressed by the authors who are experts in their respective fields. The book will be valuable not only to healthcare providers but also to educators and policy makers.Table of ContentsGlobal Perspectives; IVF and Other Assisted Reproductive Technologies; Advances in Fetal Diagnosis; Fetal Imaging Technologies; Neonatal Imaging; Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring and Intervention Therapies; Regulation of Neonatal Environment; Advances in Neonatal Nutritional Care; Advances in Ventilatory Care of the Neonate; Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Antibiotics and Other Miracle Drugs; Impact of Innovations in Surgical Techniques; Impact of Neonatal Care on Society.
