This book is a concise guide to ultrasound guided invasive prenatal diagnostic techniques for clinicians. Beginning with discussion on the evolution of prenatal diagnosis, the next chapters cover historical aspects of invasive prenatal diagnosis, patient counselling prior to invasive procedures, and ethical and legal issues. The following sections explain the principles of ultrasound guided invasive prenatal diagnosis, procedural prerequisites, and then details individual techniques to test for foetal abnormalities including amniocentesis (taking a sample of amniotic fluid), chorionic villous sampling (taking a sample of cells from the tissue of the placenta), cordocentesis (taking a sample of the umbilical cord), and embryoscopy (insertion of an embryoscope through the mother’s abdominal wall and uterus for direct examination of an embryo). The book concludes with a final chapter on prenatal diagnosis techniques in multiple pregnancy, followed by suggestions for further reading.

On October 29th 1953 in Lund, Sweden, Inge Edler, cardiologist, and Hellmuth Hertz, physicist, performed the first successful Ultrasoundcardiogram (UCG), later renamed Echocardiogram. A few weeks later, on December 16th, the neurosurgeon Lars Leksell diagnosed an intracranial bleeding in a 16-month-old boy using the same equipment, and Echoencephalography was born. The Lundensian obstetrician Bertil Sundén was in 1962 able to take the first ultrasound picture of twins in pregnancy. These three world premieres at the Lund University were the foundation for the tremendous development of diagnostic ultrasound. Before it is too late, the history in Lund will be told, and with this history as background Ultrasound in Clinical Diagnosis brings together some of the leading ultrasound experts of today to bring us up to date with the use of ultrasound in its ever-increasing importance for diagnosis in many areas of medicine. Peter Wells writes in his Foreword that "this fascinating book serves more than one purpose: it is an historical record of the pioneering developments in clinical ultrasonic diagnosis that took place in Lund... what we now recognise as one of the greatest medical innovations of the twentieth century... Besides its historical content, this book also includes scholarly reviews of the state-of-art in adult and paediatric cardiology, obstetrics and gynaecology, vascular disease in several countries and, primarily from technical perspective, radiology, as well as an overview of contrast studies". Other chapters describe the development in ophthalmology and oto-rhino-laryngology as well as the industrial development of ultrasound equipment. This book will be valuable and interesting to those who are interested in the development of ultrasound diagnosis in medicine.

Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.

Antenatal diagnosis has come a long way. As newer, more accurate, and less-invasive screening tests are available, doctors must constantly update themselves via the most recent research and publications. Good antenatal care is essential. Over the last decade we have seen rapid advances in medical technology that allowed the development of tools and tests essential to help reduce the risks to the mother and her developing foetus. The high-resolution transvaginal probe, with its crystal-clear view of the foetus, now make it possible for first-trimester diagnoses. From the perspective of the doctor, these tests will provide vital information that will be utilised to optimise antenatal care. It will afford early and timely intervention in terms of in utero therapy or prepare the mother for a potentially unfavourable outcome. Owing to the introduction of newer testing techniques, we have seen a shift in screening strategies. It has broadened the scope of antenatal testing from increasingly higher resolution ultrasound scans to genome molecular tests. In addition, non-invasive prenatal diagnoses are increasingly available and becoming more affordable.

Maternal-fetal medicine has evolved over the last three decades to become a well-established discipline. The current understanding of maternal physiology and pathophysiology has allowed us to obtain more accurate diagnoses and to provide more effective treatments of medical, surgical, and obstetrical maternal complications. More importantly, the fetus has become a distinct individual whose in utero environment has become much more accessible to study, diagnose, and treatment. Clinical Maternal-Fetal Medicine addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common medical and obstetrical maternal complications and fetal complications. It provides a concise and timely review of clinically relevant topics in this discipline. The textbook is a comprehensive reference covering the wide range of disciplines that make up maternal-fetal medicine.
