In the past few years, considerable interest has developed in ultrasound scanning of the newborn brain. This book deals with all aspects of intracranial ultrasound examination of the infant's brain and spinal cord. The authors represent the specialties of neonatology and pediatric radiology, and the book has an international background of European and American experience. The authors discuss the instrumentation and role of ultrasound in imaging the brain compared with other techniques and devote a major chapter to normal appearances and methods of scanning. Other chapters deal with hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebral injuries of both preterm and term infants, together with the sequelae that may develop as a result of these lesions. Infection, both prenatal and postnatal, viral and bacterial, is fully discussed. In addition, a number of chapters consider the diagnosis of intracranial cerebral anomalies. This book is intended to be of value both to the novice ultrasonographer and to the more experienced scanner wishing to have an initial overview of the subject.

Neonatology is concerned with the care of newborn babies who are at some degree of risk. This may be due to a variety of causes including prematurity, oxygen deprivation, breathing problems, infection, or birth defects. This book was originally written to provide a textbook of neonatal medicine which is concise, yet presents background information and alternative methods of treatment where appropriate. The updated second edition has the same aim, and includes basic information about the physiology and development of the newborn. It will be of value not only to medical students and paediatricians in training, but also to neonatal nurses and midwives

Following the standard Essentials format, the third edition has been completely updated, allowing the reader to learn the essentials of neonatology. 
 Neonatal medicine continues to develop, with improvements in survival and therapies better directed toward the prevention and management of complications in newborn babies. The new edition reflects these developments and also features an important chapter on ethical issues that arise as the result of emerging technologies. Covering both the technology and the art of looking at the higher-risk babies Essentials of Neonatal Medicine 3e is an essential read for all students of neonatal medicine including paediatricians in training, neonatal nurses, midwives and health practitioners.

Paediatrics at a Glance is a concise, well-illustrated and accessible guide to all aspects of paediatric medicine. Following the easy-to-use At a Glance format, each double page spread contains a diagram summarising the main differential diagnoses for each presenting symptom, with accompanying text which covers important conditions and management issues in more detail. For each symptom, details are given of the relevant history and examination findings to lookout for during the consultation. 
The book is highly structured into nine different sections, which cover the full range of paediatrics. There are distinct sections on development, common symptoms, acute illness, emergencies, the newborn baby, chronic illness and disability. Separate chapters also address evaluating the child, child health surveillance, the child at school, community and family issues. Written by first class paediatricians, who are practising clinicians as well as enthusiastic teachers, Paediatrics at a Glance fits the budget and reading time of medical students, pre-registration house officers or general practice trainees. It is ideal as primary or supplementary reading on a lecture-based course and is especially useful for exam preparation. If you are about to go on your paediatric attachment, this book is just what you need! Nursing students, physiotherapists and other health professionals wanting an insight into paediatrics as it is practised will also find this book invaluable.

Paediatrics at a Glance

Miall, Lawrence

Rudolf, Mary

Paediatrics and Child Health approaches the disorders of childhood by how they present to the practitioner or casualty officer. The reader is taken step-by-step through a maze of clinical presentations and the appropriate diseases are discussed at relevant or corresponding locations in the text. Only information essential to the future practitioner or casualty officer is included; rare conditions of limited clinial importance to the student are specifically excluded. The philosophy is to teach how to recogise the ill child who will require further investigation rather than encourage 'list learning' about rare diseases seen in teaching hospitals. The book is designed for easy use with clear headings, colour-coded chapters and special 'At A Glance' boxes that summarize the key points of the important clinical presentations and disorders. Paediatric emergencies are highlighted in a separate chapter. The importance of the balance between the community and hospital paediatrics is reflected by the author team--two excellent teachers of community and hospital paediatrics.
