Risk and Choice in Maternity Care
An International Perspective
Andrew Symon
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 192
There is an apparent paradox at play in contemporary western societies with an increased sense of risk-consciousness set against a growing demand for choice. The aim of this book is to illustrate the changing reality of risk management in maternity care and to highlight some of the difficulties encountered in offering or exercising choice. "Risk and Choice in Maternity Care" considers whether risk and choice are always as oppositional as they are sometimes portrayed. Risk management within healthcare is a complex and evolving subject and has developed considerably in recent years. The chapters in this book are written from the perspectives of different countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia and the USA, and offer contrasting views on the approach to best practice, providing evidence-based care and giving women the freedom to choose. The issues raised are assessed in a concluding chapter that challenges the reader to identify how risk and choice considerations may be applied in clinical practice.

Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Juriy W. Wladimiroff , Sturla H. Eik-Nes
editore: Elsevier Health Sciences
pagine: 324
European Practice in Gynaecology and Obstetrics is a series of books conceived and endorsed by the European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG). Its aim is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based information that represents the consensus of opinion among leading European experts in the field, as part of the overall aim of standardising training and practice in order to ensure quality care and facilitate exchange among physicians in all parts of Europe and the rest of the world. The topics chosen for each volume are those of significant clinical interest where treatment is changing in response to research findings and developments in practice. The volume editor and contributing authors are European specialists invited to contribute because of their expertise in their field. The books concentrate on various types of management used in European practice as well as published results. The authors present treatments for which a consensus exists and - when there is no consensus - they discuss the key elements of the controversy.
Each book provides a review of the basic science, recent concepts in pathophysiology, clinical aspects, treatment and unresolved problems or controversies, as well as the major recent references. A final section provides multiple-choice questions for each chapter.

Urgenze ed emergenze ostetriche e ginecologiche
a cura di M. Massobrio
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 262
Il problema della soluzione ottimale delle urgenze-emergenze ostetriche e ginecologiche impegna in modo particolare i medici ginecologi, coinvolge le sempre maggiori aspettative delle donne rispetto alla salute e alla qualità di vita, richiede agli amministratori di Aziende ospedaliere un notevole sforzo organizzativo e finanziario. Il volume riveste quindi significati non esclusivamente specialistici, ma anche medico-legali e di politica ed economia sanitaria. Le tematiche di pertinenza ostetrica riguardano sia il versante materno che quello feto-placenta-madre.
Preterm Labour
Managing Risk in Clinical Practice
Ian Greer , Jane E. Norman
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 428
This book was first published in 2005. This volume summarizes advances in the optimal clinical management of preterm labour, using the best available evidence of the time. The contributors (mostly practising clinicians) are all actively involved in research into the mechanisms, aetiology, treatment and associated outcomes of preterm labour. The chapters are based on common clinical scenarios and each provides a comprehensive literature review followed by evidence-based recommendations on appropriate management. A summary of the pathophysiology of parturition is provided, and the obstetric scenarios cover management of threatened preterm labour, management of preterm premature ruptured membranes and management of preterm labour with specific complications (such as intrauterine growth restriction). Other chapters include the epidemiology, prediction and prevention of preterm labour. Anaesthetic and paediatric issues are explored in depth, and there are chapters on the legal and organizational issues surrounding preterm labour.

Birth, Distress and Disease
Placental-Brain Interactions
Jay Schulkin , Michael L. Power
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 292
Originally published in 2005, this volume examines the role of steroids and peptides in the regulation of pregnancy and pregnancy outcome, and their long-term effects including possible influences on adult-onset diseases. During pregnancy the placenta acts as a central regulator and coordinator of maternal and fetal physiology, and the onset of labor, through its production and regulation of steroids and peptides. Perturbations to this regulatory system can result in poor pregnancy outcome, such as preterm birth and low birth weight. These in turn are linked to diseases in later life. Intriguingly, many of these regulatory actions of steroids and peptides also occur in the brain. The induction and suppression of peptides by steroids appears to be key to regulatory function in both brain and placenta. These interweaving strands, linking basic science with obstetrics, are all reviewed in depth here producing a fascinating account of an important area of materno-fetal medicine.

Per una cultura del nascere
Ferruccio Miraglia
editore: Rubbettino
pagine: 260
Ferruccio Miraglia ha favorito e tutelato l'ingresso del modello psicoanalitico nel fortino del positivismo biologistico negli anni nei quali appariva sempre più drammatica la separazione fra la concezione psicosomatica globale e una medicalizzazione prepotente e invasiva nell'area di un evento naturale quale il parto-nascita. Ha autorizzato l'ingresso della cultura psicologica nell'area del travaglio e in sala parto dimostrando nel tempo quali sono gli esiti positivi in un approccio integrato, rispettoso di tutte le dimensioni della persona.
