Full Description
Screening in Obstetrics & Gynecology is a concise guide to screening for spontaneous preterm labour and delivery, foetal hypoxia, menopause, and screening tests in contraceptive users.
The book is divided into 24 chapters, each one covering a specific method of screening. The initial chapters discuss maternal red blood cell group and antibody screen, antepartum assessment of haemoglobin, haematocrit and serum ferritin in detail. Other chapters include information on ultrasound detection of structural abnormalities in the first trimester, fundal height measurement and management of foetal growth restriction by Doppler velocimetry. Later chapters focus on screening for specific conditions such as foetal hypoxia, menopause, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid disorder and haemoglobinopathy.
With up-to-date information on the latest techniques and technologies, enhanced by full colour images throughout, Screening in Obstetrics & Gynecology is an excellent source of reference for obstetricians, gynaecologists, and oncologists seeking concise information on specific screening methods.
