The second part of the book covers genetic testing, common foetal abnormalities, infections, diagnostic procedures and therapy, concluding with a chapter on stillbirth and foetal autopsy.
Authored by experts in the field, this book provides an amalgamation of both basic and advanced topics.
Two quizzes are included to help students test their knowledge, as well as multiple, up-to-date references for further reading.
