Fetal and neonatal physiology

"Most of the 174 chapters in the book have been extensively updated by nearly 400 authors. More than 1500 visual elements--photographs, illustrations, diagrams, charts, tables--are included, and we are pleased to offer over 100 brand new color illustrations and diagrams to illuminate the text. The genetics content has been expanded to include new chapters such as "Pathophysiology of Genetic Neonatal Disease" and "Genetic Variants and Neonatal Disease." Each of the chapters on disease pathophysiology has been extensively revised by leading experts in our specialty."--Preface
