This atlas provides details of the procedures of assisted reproductive techniques. The science of in-vitro fertilization has made considerable advances and many general gynecologists are now specializing to become infertility experts. It covers embryology and clinical aspects with pictures. This atlas serves as a quick reference as most of the lab work requires pictures of oocytes, embryos and sperms to understand the various stages of the process. It is a comprehensive, updated practical guide on procedures in in-vitro fertilization helpful for general gynecologists and infertility experts

"The first full study of "birth figures," a set of illustrations which were widely reproduced in early modern books on childbirth and midwifery. Birth figures are printed images of the pregnant uterus, always shown in series, that depict the variety of ways in which a fetus can present for birth. Historian Rebecca Whiteley coined the term and here offers the first systematic analysis of the images' creation, use, and impact. Whiteley reveals their origins in ancient medicine and explores their inclusion in many medieval gynecological manuscripts, focusing on their explosion in printed midwifery and surgical books from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century in Western Europe. During this period, birth figures formed a key part of the visual culture of medicine and midwifery and were widely produced. They reflected and shaped how the pregnant body was known and treated. And by providing crucial bodily knowledge to midwives and surgeons, birth figures were also deeply entangled with wider cultural preoccupations with generation and creativity, female power and agency, knowledge and its dissemination, and even the condition of the human in the universe. Birth Figures studies how different kinds of people understood childbirth and engaged with midwifery manuals, from learned physicians to midwives to illiterate listeners.

The first full study of "birth figures" and their place in early modern knowledge-making. Birth figures are printed images of the pregnant womb, always shown in series, that depict the variety of ways in which a fetus can present for birth. Historian Rebecca Whiteley coined the term and here offers the first systematic analysis of the images' creation, use, and impact.

This book investigates the history of women's reproductive health in Ghana, arguing that between the 1920s and 1980s, it was largely driven by discourses of development and population control rather than a concern for women's health or rights. Between the 1920s and 1980s, the choices that Ghanaian women made regarding their reproductive health were defined by development policy and practice. Spanning the colonial and immediate postcolonial periods, this book demonstrates that whilst the substance of development discourse shifted over time, principles of development continued to be used to impact and legitimise reproductive health policy and practices well after independence. The book explores Ghana's pluralist health system, the introduction of maternal and child welfare, the dominance of the Red Cross in Ghana's maternal and child health landscape, nationalist pronatalism and global population activism. In order to understand how global iterations of development and health policy impacted ordinary lives in Ghana, the author uses evidence from multiple 'levels, ' including private papers, national archives and records of international and transnational organisations. Providing balanced archival perspectives, the book includes extensive oral history interviews carried out with both rural Ghanaian women and traditional birth attendants, as well as with midwives, doctors and family planning fieldworkers. This book will have an important impact on a number of historical fields including Ghanaian history, global health history, global histories of population and family planning and histories of development. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the history of public health, development, Africa, Ghana and gender.

This book focuses on the role of diagnostic and interventional radiology in obstetrical and gynecological diseases. It provides relevant information on each topic, considering both diagnostic and interventional radiology, which now belong to the same professional unit. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the most relevant clinical aspects of the pathology. Diagnostic examinations are also discussed, with a focus on the radiological studies (US/CT/MR) functional to subsequent procedures. This is followed by an interventional section, which clarifies the indications, contraindications, techniques (including choice of materials) and follow-up. Lastly, clinical cases are provided, together with multiple-choice review questions. Given its scope, the book will appeal to radiologists, gynecologists and obstetricians, as well as to residents in these specialties. .

This book, now in a comprehensively revised and expanded third edition, covers the full spectrum of applications of Doppler ultrasound within Obstetrics and Gynecology. The current standards of practice in Doppler ultrasound are described, and information presented on the most recent developments in clinical practice and technology. The basic and physical principles of Doppler ultrasound are also clearly explained. Among other topics, the chapters on obstetric applications address the use of Doppler for fetal examination, including investigation of the fetal cerebral circulation; Doppler echocardiography of the fetal heart; and the role of Doppler in cases of post-term pregnancy and multiple gestation. The final part of the book focuses on the use of Doppler ultrasound in patients with gynecologic conditions, including ectopic pregnancy, infertility, benign disorders, and malignancies. Written by distinguished experts in the field, this superbly illustrated book will be a must-have reference for maternal-fetal medicine specialists, obstetrician-gynecologists, radiologists, and sonographers and will also be of value for researchers in the field. .

This second edition 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. Fully updated, the text begins 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 then 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. This edition includes seven new chapters focusing on the imaging of fetal development, including chapters on the first trimester fetal brain, genitourinary tract, and diagnosis of fetal genetic syndromes. Numerous illustrations, figures, and online videos serve as aides for understanding key concepts. First-Trimester Ultrasound, 2e is a valuable resource for many, in or after training, in obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, emergency medicine, family medicine and genetics.
