Perinatal and Pediatric Pathophysiology: A Clinical Perspective - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Perinatal and Pediatric Pathophysiology: A Clinical Perspective addresses the molecular biology, biochemistry and physiological mechanisms by which the fetus, newbon, and child develop normally. Specific disease states that involve abnormalities are examined in detail. All major organ systems are covered (e.g. immune system and cardiovascualr system), and in addition, biological areas specific or particularly important to these developmental periods are covered separately, for example growth and temperature regulation.
The second edition has been extensively updated. the chapters on membrane, cellular, and molecular biology, and on immunology have been totally rewritten. New chapters have been added on genetics, clinical genetics, and on bone, connective tissue, and skin development. The chapter on neurophysiology is greatly extended with reference to both basic physiology and developmental aspects.
The revised and updated edition will prove invaluable reading for postgraduate students studying in the fields of perinatology, neonatology, pediatrics, and pediatric sub-specialties.
