Book SynopsisEvery year in the United States, 12 per cent of all births are preterm births, 5 per cent of all babies need help to breathe at birth, and 3 per cent of neonates are born with at least one severe malformation. Many of these babies are hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. Annie Janvier and her husband, Keith Barrington, are both pediatricians who specialize in the care of these sick babies and are internationally known for their research in this area. In 2005, when their daughter Violette was born extremely prematurely, four months before her due date, they faced the situation from the other side as parents. Despite knowing the scientific facts, they knew nothing about the experience itself. Knowing how a respirator works did not help me be the mother of a baby on a respirator, writes Annie. She did not know how to navigate the guilt, the uncertainty, the fears, the predictions of providers, and the responses of friends and family. In a society oTable of ContentsForeword by John D.

Book SynopsisBirth is a sudden, traumatic transition of environments. Once the placental oxygen supply ceases, the foetus has only minutes to establish pulmonary oxygen transport, which requires not only inflation of the lungs, but also sudden and sustained changes in the lung circulation. Not long ago, research in this field was largely restricted to morphology and physiology. Now the powerful new tools of cellular and molecular biology have begun to shed light on the physiological processes in the developing lung and its supporting vasculature. In 22 chapters, three main sections explore lung growth and development, vascular cell growth and differentiation, and the mechanisms of hemodynamic control in the neonate; extensive illustrations give a comprehensive picture of pulmonary circulatory development. Factors controlling vasculogenesis and angiogenesis are described by the scientists who pioneered the field. Similarly, the intracellular signaling cascades that determine proliferation oTrade Review"Four Stars! **** "The Contributors are all top-notch experts in their respective fields...In each section a topic is examined in exceptional detail. "...a unique and valuable text, providing the investigator and clinician with ‘one-stop shopping’ for timely, detailed, and important information about pulmonary vascular development during fetal and newborn life." Doody’s Review Service "...a most excellent work, The Fetal and Neonatal Pulmonary Circulation aims to "inform the basic scientist as well as the clinician and student, and to provide a benchmark in the field as we approach the next millennium." The resulting text serves these ambitions superbly. "The editors have selected an impressive group of experts to contribute chapters which cover a wide range of topics, from the history of fetal and neonatal pulmonary vascular physiology, to vascular-cell growth and differentiation, to the factors and disorders, including congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which affect pulmonary hemodynamics in the newborn. "...In an era in which the distance between the basic scientist and busy clinician seems to be ever wider, I am particularly impressed by the way in which basic science and clinical medicine fuse into a continuum in this excellent book. The Fetal and Neonatal Pulmonary Circulation shows that when we try to work together, we can. It must be the definitive work in the area. More of the same in other areas of medicine please."

Book SynopsisWe have all been hypoxic. Fetal tolerance for intrauterine hypoxia arises from evolutionarily conserved physiological mechanisms, the antecedents of which can be learned from diving mammals or species at high altitudes. Understanding fetal hypoxia leads to understanding the huge physiological shifts of neonatal transition and the dangers of perinatal hypoxia.This comprehensive volume of topical review articles by expert authors addresses the origins of hypoxia tolerance, the impact of oxygen on circulatory transition at birth, and the biochemistry of hypoxia in the pulmonary circuit, as well as the classification, diagnosis, and clinical management of hypoxic respiratory failure and persistent pulmonary hypertension in the term neonate.The goal of Hypoxic Respiratory Failure in the Newborn is to connect our understanding of hypoxia from animals in extreme environments, with how the human fetus handles its hypoxic environment; and why the human newborn sudTrade Review'This book elects to follow the thread of hypoxia, as an originating etiology and defining feature of neonatal pulmonary hypertension. It is a comprehensive and thematic volume of topical articles by world renowned authors, and has assembled all information pertinent to this topic in 38 chapters divided into 5 distinct sections, each marshalled by a dedicated co-editor. This strong interdisciplinary editorial team brings to bear complementary theoretical and practical expertise in different aspects of hypoxia and respiratory failure, and clearly a wide-ranging contact list – the book has over 80 contributing authors. Salient features of this book are helpful signaling pathway diagrams, conceptual illustrations, and synthesis figures by Satyan Lakshminrusimha.Reading the whole volume provides a satisfying continuous narrative of hypoxia through the evolutionary and developmental timeline, and deeper insight into what might appear to be only a superficial problem solved by turning up the oxygen dial. This book is therefore recommended to practicing clinicians as much as to scholars in this field of science.'Dr Kurt Stenmark'It is the most comprehensive discussion of this topic to be found anywhere in the literature. […] There are no comparable texts on this subject, although hypoxia and PPHN are discussed in every standard neonatal textbook. The five authors and the over 80 contributors are the world's research leaders in this topic and are to be congratulated on this superb publication.'Jay P.

Book SynopsisThis book explores how experiences of IVF can affect the transition to parenthood for non-donor infertile couples.Drawing on empirical research and the broader social sciences literature, the book sets out the context of complex modern family building and discusses how infertility and IVF continue to shape parenthood and family building after successful IVF conception. It looks at how stigma, disclosure, loss, and gender affect the transition to parenthood, as well as what happens when parents start thinking about trying for siblings. We highlight the key roles for health care professionals (nurses, midwives, and health visitors) when caring for these new parents, in providing social support and facilitating good communication to foster emotional well-being.Ideal for nurses and midwives working in reproductive health as well as primary care nurses and health visitors, this applied text is a key reference for all healthcare professionals who meet people at any point on their journey to achieving pregnancy through IVF, during maternity care, and through the first few years of parenthood.Table of Contents1.Foreword - Lorraine Culley. 2.Preface - Jane Denton. 3.Acknowledgements. 4.Chapter 1 Introduction to the book. 5.Chapter 2 The context of infertility services and assisted reproduction (AR). 6.Chapter 3 Transition to parenthood. 7.Chapter 4 Sex, gender, and parenthood after IVF. 8.Chapter 5 Stigma and disclosure in infertility and IVF parenthood. 9.Chapter 6 Anxiety and loss in the transition to parenthood. 10.Chapter 7 IVF parents: family building in IVF parenthood. 11.Chapter 8 Conclusions: developing person-centred nursing, midwifery, and health visiting practice.

Book SynopsisMapped to the UNICEF Baby Friendly Learning Outcomes, this new edition of Pollardâs essential textbook ensures readers are equipped with the essential knowledge and skills to eff ectively promote and support breastfeeding mothers.Breastfeeding is a major public health issue. Not only does breastmilk provide all the nutrients a baby needs for their fi rst six months, but research shows it also helps to protect infants from infection and reduce obesity, as well as helping to protect mothers from some diseases in later life. Although many women want to breastfeed, rates drop rapidly in the fi rst days and weeks after giving birth. Women need the support of their midwives and health visitors when establishing breastfeeding and throughout their childrenâs infancy. This comprehensive and accessible text covers: anatomy and physiology building relationships essential skills and good practice guidance dealing with common problems public health considerations mothers needing additional support babies with special needs; and complementary feeding and weaning. Suitable for midwifery and nursing students, as well as practitioners undertaking continuing professional development, Evidence-based Care for Breastfeeding Mothers is designed to aid learning. Each chapter begins with specific learning outcomes linked to the Baby Friendly Learning Outcomes, key fact boxes, clinical scenarios and activities.Table of Contents1.
