Opis: Human fetal Growth and Development

This unique book delves into the mysteries of human fetal growth and maturation. Growing knowledge in genetics indicates that factors that impact on/influence fetal growth and maturation may have a role in determining a person s health and disease in later years. Placental, maternal, environmental, nutrient as well as fetal genome factors each play a role in producing a healthy, unhealthy or abnormal baby. A study of fetal growth and maturation is therefore basic to the understanding of why fetal growth problems occur, what implications these can have for adult disease, and how clinical intervention can help to reverse growth problems.§§The present study will be comprehensive and§will be a major contribution to the fields of gynecology, genetics, obstetrics,§biochemistry, molecular biology and clinical medicine. It will include cutting§edge research in the field as well as explorations on clinical interventions in§fetal growth, which will not only add to existing knowledge but also prompt§future research.§§The two Editors are distinguished in their§fields and both have extensive clinical and research experience. They felt that§they could use their expertise to create a book that will help students,§practitioners, researchers and others to understand the subject of gestation,§growth and maturation and its implications from a multi-dimensional point of§view, which will help them develop their own expertise in a cutting-edge and§developing field. They have brought together medical scientists, clinical§practitioners, embryologists, endocrinologists, immunologists, gynecologists,§obstetricians, reproductive and molecular biologists, geneticists and many§others to create a state-of-the-art book on a subject with increasing demand§for further knowledge. It aims to integrates different disciplines to give a§holistic view of human fetal growth maturation.SECTION 1.§Basic Research.-§Growth and development of the human fetus from conception to§embryogenesis phase up to 7 weeks.-§Growth and development of the human fetus from 8-12 weeks.-§Growth and development of the human fetus from 13-20 weeks.-§Immune privileges of the human fetus up to 2nd trimester.-§Metabolic privileges of the human fetus up to 2nd trimester.-§§Animal studies on growth and development.-§Organ specific growth and maturation of the human fetuses involving§brain , lung, heart, liver, intestine, gonad, kidney , suprarenal, skin ,§muscle.-§Ectodermal growth and maturation characteristics on first and second§trimester.-§Entodermal growth and maturation characteristics on first and second§trimester.-§Mesodermal growth and§maturation characteristics on first and second trimester.-§Protein metabolism of the§human fetus up to 2nd Trimester.-§Lipid metabolism of the§human fetus up to 2nd Trimester.-§Carbohydrate metabolism of§the human fetus up to 2nd Trimester.-§Maternal influence on the§growth and maturation of the human fetus upto 2nd trimester.-§Genetic influence on the§growth and maturation of the human fetus up to 2nd trimester.-§Drug metabolism of the§human fetus.- SECTION 2.§Clinical Implications.-§Fetus as a patient.-§Surgery on the unborn.-§Human fetal tissue§transplant and its clinical implication.-§Problems of prematurity.-§Antigenic stimulation of§the§human fetus during growth and maturation up to 20 weeks.-§Implications of low birth§weight on future medical problems in adult life.-§Issue of pharmacogenomics§and treatment options.-§Ethics of human fetal§research.
