Summary: PaperbackSummary: ""The Fetus and Neonate"" is a series of practical, focused texts which concentrate on that critical period of human development, from late foetal to neonatal life. Each volume in the series examines a particular body system, looking at the physiological mechanisms which underlie the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life, and the pathophysiological processes which may occur in this period. Each volume considers the application of new basic scientific knowledge to the clinical situation. This series should be a valuable source of information to practitioners and postgraduate trainees in obstetrics, neonatology, paediatrics and reproductive medicine, as well as to basic scientists in these fields.
