Product Description
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes various treatment methods, such as ovarian stimulation, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, intended to enable infertile couples to achieve pregnancy. While artificial insemination has been used for over 200 years, only in the last 30 years has in vitro fertilization proliferated.

Louise Brown, the first child conceived by this technique, was born in Britain in July 1978. It was not until 6 years later that a child was born through frozen embryo transfer and an additional 8 years later through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which appeared in the early 1990s, made possible the birth of children free from particularly severe or lethal genetic disorders; the year 2000 witnessed the birth of the first child through in vitro maturation of oocytes, signifying that assisted reproductive technology without ovarian stimulation might be possible. More recently, pregnancy was achieved in a prematurely postmenopausal woman through ovarian tissue transplantation.

What more has the future of assisted reproductive technology in store for us? How can such techniques be prevented from drifting into legal and ethical deviations? In order to better explain the various scientific stages that are essential to the management of couples’ infertility and to answer the many questions that continue to arise around this vital topic, several French specialists worked together to help write this book which was initiated and coordinated by Philippe Merveil.

Assisted Reproductive Technology: A reference book on A.R.T.

Product Description
Is the human neonate indeed ‘physiological premature’, as has been frequently stated? How does human neural development compare with that of otherprimate species? Is early human development a gradual unfolding of neuralmechanisms from prenatal to postnatal life, or does it show rapidtransformations at particular ages? The aim of this book is to answer these andsimilar questions about the functional repertoire of the human fetus, neonate, and young infant. Two main theoretical concepts are considered: first, therelationship between neural maturation and the duration of pregnancy and second,the existence of ontogenetic adaptations. Surveys and findings relevant tothese concepts are provided by experts from various disciplines involved inresearch on fetal and preterm development and on the first three months ofpostnatal life. This book differs from many others summarizing descriptiveknowledge of the field by emphasizing new theoretical concepts of earlyfunctional development. Recent ultrasound studies of the fetus have contributedgreatly to this new approach, which has clear implications for the assessmentand care of young infants. This thought-provoking book will be of interest todevelopmental neurologists, pediatricians and obstetricians, as well as todevelopmental psychologists and physical anthropologists.

Gross Anatomy & Embryology: 2000 Multiple-Choice Questions & Answers

Product Description
With hundreds of original photographs, optical micrographs and scanning electron micrographs, this atlas describes the progress of the embryo throughout its development, highlighting the formation and differentiation of organ structures. From the preembryonic and embryo stages to the development of the skeleton and striated muscle, organogenesis of the heart, and development of external genitalia, it provides authoritative answers to the most frequently asked question about the human embryo. With its plethora of outstanding photographs and images, experienced embryologists as well as clinicians and students can compare historical ideas with photographic reality.

An Atlas of the Human Embryo and Fetus: A Photographic Review of Human Prenatal Development

Product Description
SYNOPSIS: FLASH EMBRYO Embryology Cards By William Ting, MD and Ronald Homer, MD is the premier study aids for embryology. Embryology is an important part of the USMLE Boards Step I and of every health professional school curriculum; however, master embryology has long been a daunting task for students. FLASH EMBRYO is an one-of-the-kind clinically-oriented and color-coded flashcards that have helped many medical and health professional students in understanding and retaining key concepts in embryology. Embryonic and fetal developments are clearly introduced via dual-reinforcement of chronological and organ system-based presentations. Moreover, there is thorough coverage of congenital malformations caused by various etiologies.

Flash Embryo: Clinically-Oriented, Color-Coded Cards

Product Description
This monograph, unlike most previously published books on the subject, approaches the embryology of the eye and its adnexa from the perspective of gestational age, providing a unique overall view of the various structures of the eye at different stages of prenatal development. Embryogenesis, organogenesis and differentiation are three main periods that can be distinguished in the prenatal development of the human eye. The chapters in this book describe in detail the series of sequential events that occur during these periods from the fertilization of the ovum to, and after, birth. Superbly illustrated and clearly written, this text contains a wealth of information for residents in ophthalmology, neonatal and pediatric ophthalmologists, as well as for all ophthalmologists and physicians interested in developmental anomalies.

Embryology of the Eye and Its Adnexae

Product Description

The organizer area plays a central role in the formation of the embryonic axis and the central nervous system of all vertebrates including the human fetus. In The Vertebrate Organizer outstanding molecular development biologists and embryologists report their latest approaches in this fascinating research area using different vertebrate model organisms. The presented data are of central importance for the understanding of early human embryogenesis.
