Publisher's Synopsis
This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect new findings in research and their clinical implications. Recent advances in developmental biology affecting knowledge about the causes of birth defects and prenatal management of fetuses are carefully integrated into this comprehensive, easy to read text. This edition includes additional clinical commentary and problem solving questions, many new illustrations (including high resolution ultrasound images of embryos and fetuses and scanning electron micrographs of human embryos), and much more! A slide set and study guide will be available.
