Lecture Notes on Obstetrics ((Lecture Notes Ser.))

Now in its sixth edition, this latest volume in the Lecture Notes series has been fully revised and updated to reflect the many changes that have taken place in obstetric practice in the last seven years. As with all other areas of medicine, the trend in obstetrics is towards greater specialisation. Professor Chamberlain has been joined in this new edition by specialists in modern obstetric practice who have provided new chapters on neonatology, infection in pregnancy, diabetes and lower genital tract bleeding as well as a section on the management of AIDS. The whole text has been rewritten and is complemented by many original line drawings and flow charts. Where applicable, key words and phrases are listed to help the process of revision. In all, this text provides a clear, modern and authoritative guide to the subject for all students approaching obstetrics for the first time.
