Beschreibung
Basic Sciences for Obstetrics and Gynaecology has become the standard
revision aid for students preparing for examinations in obstetrics and
gynaecology, particularly those candidates for the MRCOG Part I. A wealth
of information is presented in a concise, didactic format, focusing on
those facts that are generally considered to be neither contentious nor
speculative.
The fifth edition has been substantially updated to reflect the current
understanding of the basic sciences underpinning the practice of
obstetrics and gynaecology. This book will also be of value to
professionals wishing to refresh their basic scientific knowledge.
Cell Biology, Embryology and the Placenta
Anatomy
General Physiology and biochemistry
Endocrinology
Pathology
Microbiology
Pharmacology
Tim Chard is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at St Bartholomew's
Hospital in London. Richard Lilford is Professor of Health Services
Research at the University of Birmingham.
