Women in Christianity in the Age of Enlightenment
This volume offers a multidisciplinary reassessment of women’s intellectual, spiritual, and artistic contributions during the Enlightenment, challenging their place in dominant historical, theological, and philosophical narratives. Women in Christianity in the Age of Enlightenment brings together eight thematically interconnected chapters that examine how women across diverse geographies navigated patriarchal institutions to assert agency in theology, philosophy, sainthood, education, science, the arts, and religious practice. Drawing from a wide range of case studies, this volume traces counter- narratives that questioned Enlightenment rationalism, ecclesiastical authority, and canonical ...
Ectopic Pregnancy
Comprised exclusively of clinical cases covering ectopic pregnancy, this concise, practical casebook will provide clinicians in reproductive medicine and obstetrics/gynecology with the best real-world strategies to properly diagnose and treat the various forms of the condition they may encounter. Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as the case outcome and clinical pearls and pitfalls. Cases included illustrate different management strategies – from treatment with methotrexate to surgical interventions – as well as types of ectopic pregnancy, such as ovarian, interstitial, heterotopic and abdominal forms, among others. Pragmatic and reader-friendly, Ectopic Pregnancy: A Clinical Casebook will be an excellent resource for reproductive medicine specialists, obstetricians and gynecologists, and family and emergency medicine physicians alike.
First-Trimester Ultrasound
This book offers a unique and focused study of the use of ultrasound during the first trimester, a critical time in a fetus’ development. It includes basic examination guidelines as well as cutting-edge ultrasound modalities, including Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound, for the period immediately preceding conception through early embryology. Beginning with a discussion of the safety and efficacy of diagnostic ultrasound and the use of this modality for the evaluation and treatment of infertility, recognized experts in the field explore conditions that may interfere with normal conception or development, including maternal diseases that would benefit from early scanning, elements of teratology, multiple gestations, ectopic pregnancy, gestational trophoblastic disease, fetal anomalies and invasive procedures in the first trimester. Numerous illustrations and figures are provided to serve as aids for understanding key concepts. First-Trimester Ultrasound is a valuable resource for many, in or after training, in obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, emergency medicine, family medicine and genetics.
Making Multiple Babies
Human beings have been producing more twins, triplets, and quadruplets than ever before, due to the expansion of medically assisted conception. This book analyzes the anticipatory regimes of making multiple babies. With archival documents, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and registry data, this book traces the global and local governance of the assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) used to tackle multiple pregnancy since the 1970s, highlighting the early promotion of single embryo transfer in Belgium and Japan and the making of the world’s most lenient guidelines in Taiwan.
Imaging of the Infertile Couple
In Imaging of the Infertile Couple the editors have assembled a team of leading experts to cover a broad range of topics, from the old and proven - such as hysterosalpingography - to the latest and cutting edge - such as sonohysterography and sonosalpingography. The role of ultrasound in newer areas such as impotence and assisted reproductive technology, and its applications when conception finally does take place are also explored.
Methotrexate
Although surprising, it seems fitting that a drug developed at the dawn of the era of rational drug design and therapeutics, methotrexate, should remain in common use for the therapy of so many different kinds of illnesses. Moreover, methotrexate has completely revolutionized the way in which medicine is practiced in a number of speciality areas. First developed to treat malignancies, methotrexate is now commonly used to treat gynecological problems, inflammatory arthritis, skin disease and probably other ailments as well. This work is designed to give a broad overview of the history of methotrexate's development, its prior use and its current therapeutic uses. As discussed in Chapter I, aminopterin and methotrexate were designed to inhibit mammalian folate metabolism but the concept of folic acid antag onism was soon applied to the development of antibacterial and anti parasitic agents. Trimethoprim and sulfa drugs were among the first antibiotics developed and they also remain quite useful today for the treat ment of a variety of infections.
High Risk Obstetrics
This volume in the Requisites in Obstetrics and Gynecologic series offers guidance in the assessment and management of high-risk pregnancies. It provides coverage of antepartum care, complications, medical complications of pregnancy, fetal disorders, fetal surveillance, intrapartum complications, and puerperal disorders. It delivers all of this essential information in the proven high-yield Requisites, which makes it perfect for quick review and exam preparation. Covers maternal/family history of cardiac disease, hypertension, preeclampsia, diabetes (both pre-gestational and gestational types), infectious diseases, and many more important topics. Offers abundant tables that present differential diagnoses, lab values/radiologic studies, treatment/therapy recommendations, and guidance on when to refer to a specialist. Presents thought-provoking clinical scenarios to help determine the best course of action in situations where there are controversies concerning the standard of care. Features a wealth of illustrations that make details clearer.
Turner Syndrome in a Life Span Perspective
Hardbound. The aim of this Turner meeting was to highlight the life span perspective of Turner syndrome, regarding both the research and clinical aspects. This symposium brought together researchers and clinicians from different fields throughout the world as well as individuals with Turner syndrome in order to facilitate exchange of knowledge and the most recent findings.This book is divided into three parts: Molecular genetic evaluation and prenatal diagnosis, Growth and Medical and psychosocial management throughout life. The transition process from pediatric to adult care was highlighted, with specific focus on who should coordinate the medical care of the adult women with Turner syndrome, since different health care systems will provide different solutions. The importance of an adequate estrogen substitution therapy from puberty onwards was stressed, in order to minimize problems later during adulthood. Areas involving bone miner
Asphyxia and Fetal Brain Damage
Asphyxia and Fetal Brain Damage provides an overview of the combined advances in maternal-fetal medicine, neonatology, pediatric neurology, diagnostic imaging, and molecular biology that have altered the way clinicians and researchers understand and manage asphyxial injury to the fetal central nervous system. Featuring contributions from internationally renowned specialists, Asphyxia and Fetal Brain Damage addresses the etiology and mechanism of fetal asphyxia, presents the latest information on possible therapeutic interventions, and explains the scientific basis of a range of fetal surveillance techniques. The book also discusses clinical management protocols for high-risk pregnancies and ...
