Synopsis
This volume looks in depth at the growth of the fetus and neonate. It begins with an overview of the physiology and endocrinology of normal growth before looking at the pathophysiology and clinical applications. Several chapters focus on fetal growth retardation and the challenges this condition poses for the clinician. The authors fully address measurement and assessment of fetal growth and well being. Another important theme is the programming of adult diseases early in the development of the fetus.
