Product Description
Recent advances in genetics, molecular biology, diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques require a substantial understanding of prenatal development morphogenesis. The clinical significance of the normal mechanisms of embryogenesis, developmental failures and consequent craniofacial anomalies is of increasing concern to plastic and orofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists, orthodontists, neonatologists, and speech pathologists.
Clinicians dealing with malformations needing comprehension of the exponential expansion of information on molecular genomics, dysgenesis, teratology and the etiology of syndromes and anomalies are served by this book s succinct contents. While providing clinicians with a basic background for treating craniofacial anomalies, this text will also appeal to teratologists, embryologists, and anatomists.

Product Description
EMBRYOLOGY provides a concise and highly illustrated text, which confines its descriptions to those that are relevant for modern undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses, and similar courses in other related disciplines. An appreciation of embryology is essential to understand topological relationships in gross anatomy and to explain many congenital anomalies. Each chapter is supplemented by clinical point ‘boxes’ and by key revision points.

• Text in concise Illustrated Colour Text style, so core information on embryology can be quickly recognised and digested.
• Clear full colour diagrams and pictures make the embryological concepts clear and easily assimilated.
• Clinical boxes highlight essential points of importance to medical students.

Product Description
Did you know that your actions during pregnancy impact your child’s health after birth and into adulthood? That what you eat, how much you exercise, your stress level, and your immediate environment are all key factors in determining your baby’s predisposition to such conditions as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke, cancer, even depression? Based on more than thirty years of rigorous scientific research, Dr. Nathanielsz’s The Prenatal Prescription explains why this is so and what you can do about it.

Focusing on the main factors that directly affect the unborn child — nutrition, stress, toxins, and exercise — Dr. Nathanielsz lays out a clear and easy-to-follow program for “prenatal programming.” He explains the science behind the fetal origins of adult disease, and offers tools that you can use to make your prenatal interaction with your baby memorable and beneficial.

Starting before conception, this simple prescription will change forever the way you think about preparing yourself for pregnancy. All parents want a long and healthy life for their child. The Prenatal Prescription explains how to make this a reality.

Product Description
The second edition of Kiessling and Anderson’s text, Human Embryonic Stem Cells, continues to address the social, legal and ethical debates resulting from the Bush Administrations restriction of federal funding for embryonic stem cell therapy. The emerging field of human embryonic stem cell biomedicine crosses many disciplinary boundaries — cell biology, reproductive biology, embryology, molecular biology, endocrinology, immunology, fetal medicine, transplantation medicine, and surgery. This single reference provides basic information from these multiple disciplines as it pertains to the science of stem cells.
