Fetal Nutrition, Metabolism, and Immunology: The Role of the Placenta (Trophoblast Research #1)

Each year since 1961, the Rochester Trophoblast Conference has grown in the diversity of its approaches to trophoblast research. At the Ninth Conference, Professors Klopper, Villee and Winick molded the conference with their state of the art addresses on Endocrinology, Metabolism and Nutrition of the Trophoblast. The Conference was favored with a multitude of creative studies and with warm, sunny, autumn weather to discuss these results. In October of 1982, one hundred and five investigators from 12 countries and 21 states discussed 42 different presentations at the Holiday Inn in Rochester, New York. The Ninth Conference introduced workshops on Metabolism, Nutrition, Endocrinology and Trophoblastic Neoplasia. The chairmen of these workshops were: Metabolism -Villee and Miller; Nutrition - Winick and Maulik; Endocrinology - Klopper and Muechler; and Trophoblastic Neoplasia -Szulman and Helmkamp. These two-hour, intimate discussion groups were well-received by all who attended. As with the Eighth Conference, the University of Rochester will no longer produce a transcript of the Conference. Beginning with the Ninth Conference, Plenum Press in association with the University, will publish a peer-reviewed series entitled Trophoblast Research. An international editorial advisory board has been named to assure the direction of the series. The editorial board and the organizing committee will develop the future meetings of the Rochester Trophoblast Conference. Trophoblast Research will be published as single bound volumes with original contributions and editorial reports of presentations from the Conference.

Fetal Radiology: A Diagnostic Atlas

Intrinsic errors of skeletal development are individually rare but of clinical importance because of their overall frequency and their impact on a patient's life. Sonography has become a routine component of prenatal care, and many of these disorders are diagnosed prenatally. Postnatally, the prenatal diagnosis has to be verified. To this end, fetal radiography is an effective, simple and economic way to establish a diagnosis or to narrow the number of diagnostic possibilities sufficiently to enable pathological, biochemical or molecular studies to be used in the quest for a specific diagnosis. Equally important, a correct diagnosis is required for correct prognostication and parental counseling. This book has been written to assist in the postnatal diagnosis of fetal errors of skeletal development.

Fetal Radiology: A Diagnostic Atlas

- Heavily illustrated atlas covers entire development from week 1 through birth. - Enables the Radiologist or Obstetrician to monitor progress, and the Pathologist to see what went wrong. - Cross-disciplinary expertise; authors are a leading Pediatric Radiologist, a Geneticist, and an expert in abnormal pediatric skeletal development.

Fetale Anatomie im Ultraschall

Herr Alfons Staudach war ein langjähriges Mitglied des anatomischen Institutes der Karl-Franzens-Universität in Graz, wo er sein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Vertiefung des plastischen Vorstellungsvermögens im Dienst einer vollständigen Erfassung der makroskopisch-anatomischen Strukturen ausgerichtet hat. In diesem Werke wurde eine so große Übereinstimmung zwischen den Ultraschallschnittbildern und den anatomischen Schnitten anderer Indi­ viduen erreicht, wie man sie mit dieser Regelmäßigkeit und Überzeu­ gungskraft selbst bei der Fülle der Veröffentlichungen über Ultraschall­ diagnostik bis jetzt vergeblich suchen wird. Die Schnittebene und deren vertretene Typisierung sowie der gesamte Aufbau des Werkes sind so gewählt, daß auch ein morphologisch, weniger Versierter eine wertvolle Grundlage für seine Untersuchungen finden wird und auch die auf die­ sem Gebiete schon sehr Erfahrenen wesentliche Informationen finden können, da in der anatomischen Literatur für diesen fetalen Bereich brauchbare topographische Lagebeziehungen oder Angaben über die Ausformung der Organe selbst weitgehend fehlen. Den künftigen Benützern dieses Werkes darf auf diesem Gebiet Vorteil und Anregung im Vertrauen auf berechtigte Wertschätzung gewünscht werden.

Fettgewebe – zu Unrecht ungeliebt: Warum wir unsere Fettpolster schätzen und gesund halten sollten (essentials)

So wie die Feuerwehr nicht schuld ist am verheerenden Großbrand, so ist unser Fettgewebe nicht schuld an Diabetes und Herzinfarkt. Nur wenn wir unser Fettgewebe verstehen, können wir sein Potenzial erhalten und nutzen. Petra Schling gibt in diesem essential einen Überblick über Aufbau und Funktionen unseres Fettgewebes und stellt die wichtigsten Botenstoffe von Fettzellen und ihren Vorläufen vor. Darüber hinaus klärt die Autorin Irrtümer und Missverständnisse auf, die sich um das Fettgewebe ranken. Sie erläutert eine mögliche Kausalkette vom Überfluss zum Diabetes und warum das Fettgewebe zu Unrecht zum Sündenbock gemacht wird.

The Fetus as a Patient: A Contested Concept and its Normative Implications (Biomedical Law and Ethics Library)

Due to new developments in prenatal testing and therapy the fetus is increasingly visible, examinable and treatable in prenatal care. Accordingly, physicians tend to perceive the fetus as a patient and understand themselves as having certain professional duties towards it. However, it is far from clear what it means to speak of a patient in this connection. This volume explores the usefulness and limitations of the concept of ‘fetal patient’ against the background of the recent seminal developments in prenatal or fetal medicine. It does so from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. Featuring internationally recognized experts in the field, the book discusses the normative implications of the concept of ‘fetal patient’ from a philosophical-theoretical as well as from a legal perspective. This includes its implications for the autonomy of the pregnant woman as well as its consequences for physician-patient-interactions in prenatal medicine.

Fever: Its Biology, Evolution, and Function

Fever has long been recognized as a symptom of disease. Until the past century it was considered a healthy sign; since then this view has changed and the use of drugs to reduce fever has grown quite common. Acting on the revival of interest as to whether the effects of fever are beneficial or harmful, Matthew Kluger and other physiologists began a series of experiments designed to resolve this question. This book synthesizes their research, making a case not only for the beneficial function of fever but also for the re-evaluation of current clinical practices regarding fever.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
