The Placenta - friend not foe
The placenta is central to the survival of the fetus. Placental dysfunction, whether from disease or maldevelopment, therefore threatens the fetus and its mother. Disruption to normal placental function can disrupt fetal development in ways that are not apparent until long after birth. The crucial role of the placenta for fetal well being, the developmental origins of human adult disease and cardiovascular health and maternal placental syndromes is now being unravelled.
The Placenta: From Development to Disease examines research into placental function and its clinical implications to provide a springboard for improving clinical practice and enhancing medical research. Influential information is extracted from the compelling narrative by the use of 'take home' features including:
* Clinical Pearls - point to important issues in clinical practice
* Research Spotlights - highlight key insights into placental understanding
* Teaching Points - explain basic concepts for novice readers
The Placenta: From Development to Disease is ideal for both experienced clinicians and researchers and those new to the field. Anyone who needs to understand the central importance of the placenta in the well being of their maternal and fetal patients should read this book.

"At a time when there is so much overlap in the realm of medical books, this one stands out as a unique and worthwhile contribution to the field. From the clarity of its layout to its detailed descriptions to its in-depth illustrations, it is a great reference for anyone interested in the physiology of pregnancy." (Doody's, 19 August 2011)
