Product Description

From the Foreword by John J. Sciarra, M.D., Ph.D., Thomas J. Watkins Professor and Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Past President of FIGO, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago: "This book is by far the most comprehensive and up-to-date source on multiple pregnancy. It discusses cutting-edge options and technologies, and covers subjects not mentioned in other monographs on twins. Specifically, it describes the vanishing twin and its causes, congenital defects, selective reduction procedures, the use of ultrasound, and the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Additionally, it provides an extensive discussion of epidemiology, which makes use of governmental data sources from the USA and Europe. An important section on the childhood growth and development of twins is also included. Finally, thorough consideration is given to parental needs both in the antepartum and the postpartum periods. The volume concludes with a special section on support organizations. "The varied content of Multiple Pregnancy: Epidemiology, Gestation and Perinatal Outcomes should act as a source of stimulation for clinicians, investigators, and others involved in either the care of these patients or in research in this important and fascinating area of medicine."From the Foreword by John J.
