Summary:

For this comprehensive resource, Gleason (pediatrics, U. of Washington) and Devaskar (pediatrics, U. of California, Los Angeles) assemble a group of pediatricians and other specialists primarily from the US who detail neonatal diseases from fetal development and maternal health to specific diseases of all body systems. Information on presentation, diagnosis, outcome and prognosis, prevention, management, signs and symptoms, etiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, and other aspects is provided. This edition has a new co-editor and has revisions and updates to the material on the genetic basis of disease, neonatal pain management, information technology, and the fetal origins of adult disease. Some sections have been reorganized, such as those on persistent pulmonary hypertension, and new chapters on global neonatal health, stabilization and transport of the high-risk infant, care of the late preterm infant, disorders of the liver, and craniofacial malformations have been added. The full text, images, and all references are available online. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
