For many years, the invisible processes of fetal development were largely unexplainable, but in the last half-century, technological breakthroughs have enabled us to observe not only physiological growth but also the evolution of human behaviour in the womb. We now understand th…
"This book covers all aspects of anesthesia affecting the fetus throughout in utero life. The book comprises three sections looking at: 1) endpoints for fetal and neonatal outcomes, 2) anesthetic interventions that may affect these endpoint variables, and 3) confounding variable…

Fetal behaviour and movements not only give an insight into the developing brain, as an expression of neural activity, but are also necessary for the further development of neural structure and of other organs. This book presents an account of our current understanding of fetal …

"Established since 1968 as a classic pediatric cardiology text, this edition uses new technology to bring the most sought after information in the most concise, effective manner. This eighth edition is reduced from the two-volume work into a concise, easy-to-use single volume mo…
This text synthesises the existing knowledge on how the in utero environment could be the most important environment in shaping later risk for various diseases or, conversely, to promote the health of the offspring. It mines the existing literature from a variety of disciplines,…
This work aims to provide a detailed reasoned map of fetal behavior by describing its features and evolution from 10 to 25 weeks gestation. Each behavioral event is described, measured in seconds and presented as it occurs in its natural sequence, thus providing a 'real-time' p…
"The first 1,000 days, from conception to two years of age, is a critical period of growth and development. Exposures to dietary, environmental, hormonal, and other stressors during this window have been associated with an increased risk of poor health outcomes, some of which ar…
