"Illustrated by the world-renowned Frank H. Netter, MD and artists working in his tradition, Netter's Atlas of Human Embryology, 2nd Edition, provides a rich pictorial overview of human prenatal development. For each stage of development and for each body system, you'll find a brief description of the developmental plan, with key concepts and terminology, followed by discussions of histological principles, the classification of congenital anomalies, and basic cellular, molecular, and genetic concepts. An emphasis on morphological patterns in the embryo and fetus makes it easy to understand the structure and function of the adult body and the embryonic basis of natural variation as well as birth anomalies." --

Bruce Carlson¿s Human Embryology and Developmental Biology is one of the most detailed texts available for those who want to truly understand both the morphological and molecular aspects of human embryological development. Fully updated in its seventh edition, the book provides a thorough grounding in all aspects of embryology. It presents in detail the molecular and cellular basis for embryological processes, from early development through to development of body systems. It covers examples of congenital malformations and their underlying mechanisms, and comes complete with clinical vignettes and review questions to support learning. This book will suit medical and science students taking embryology courses as well as scientists and clinicians who find themselves returning to this topic throughout their careers.

Since the first successful human in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in 1978, IVF has transformed from an experimental procedure to an established standard of care that is practised throughout the world. As the proven methodologies become more established, patients and practitioners expect higher live birth rates and excellent quality controls. This practical book covers every stage in the life of an IVF laboratory, from designing and planning the laboratory to training the embryologists and ongoing management and troubleshooting, providing step-by-step protocols for today's best practice. Complex and specialized procedures are described by experts in the respective fields using a common structure, which allows the reader to translate into standard operating procedures. The editors bring together a portfolio of techniques that will work in almost every laboratory, providing a foundation of good working practice for both new and experienced embryologists.

"When fertilization in vitro was developed by the pioneers, Dr. Robert G. (Bob) Edwards, Miss Jean Purdy, and Dr. Patrick Steptoe, their primary focus was to obtain oocytes that could be successfully fertilized in laboratory conditions. Embryo culture and embryo selection were just secondary aims at that time. In the early 1970s, the first attempts to obtain a pregnancy after IVF were in cycles in which ovarian stimulation was performed by administration of human menopausal gonadotropins (hMG)"--

The elusive answer for the question, "When does human life begin?" is one that has not been fully resolved. This book presents a remarkable discussion for all those who would like a fresh approach to this seemingly simple question. This book reviews the status of current medical thinking as well as the history and traditions of the beginning of human life. Startling scientific evidence shows that fertilization is not the final step in creating a new life and scripture never refers to fertilization. The scriptural evidence clearly states that life is in the blood. Ultimately, an inclusive analysis reveals how the implantation of the blastocyst into the wall of the uterus-eight days after fertilization-completes the requirements for a new individual life.

Lizzie Stark takes readers on a witty, revealing and delightful journey through the natural and cultural history of the egg, exploring its deep symbolism, innumerable uses and metabolic importance in twelve dazzling specimens. From Mali to Finland, Stark looks at cultures that find the world's origins in an egg. Decorated by Ukrainians, an oracle for Greeks, the impetus behind gang wars and flown into space, the egg-whether of chickens, murres or ostriches-has taken on mythic proportions, all the while serving as a humble ingredient in fancy dishes. Stark even writes Jacques Pépin's biography through the lens of the egg dishes he served. Egg is also about Stark's fascination with this delicate ovoid-both her myriad attempts to create a perfect omelette and her fraught relationship to the ova in her body. Filled with colourful characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is a playful, informative and surprising history that guarantees you'll never take the egg for granted again.

A beautifully illustrated, one-stop resource that bridges all four anatomical sciencesClinical Anatomy, Histology, Embryology and Neuroanatomy: An Integrated Textbook by Jamie Wikenheiser bridges all four anatomical sciences in one volume with clinically focused anatomical text and exceptional illustrations. The book fills a gap in the literature, serving as a one-stop resource for multiple courses and board-review preparation, and also provides an invaluable reference for professional practice. The primary goals of integrating the four sciences into one book are to enhance students' understating of the subject matter, better prepare them for national exams, and most importantly-enable them to deliver optimal care to their future patients.The introductory chapter includes clear explanations of anatomic terminology and an overview describing all systems of the body. The rest of the textbook is organized by region to better align with how most professional schools organize their curriculums, while also providing flexibility to fit alternate curriculums. Chapters on the Back, Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis and Perineum, Lower Extremity, Upper Extremity, and Head and Neck regions are followed by multiple chapters focused on Neuroanatomy. Region-based chapters with multiple organs begin with an introduction to gross anatomy, followed by descriptions of the associated neurovasculature and lymphatic drainage. Development and the histology of organs is presented alongside the neurovasculature.Key HighlightsOver 350 surgical, nonsurgical, and developmental clinical correlates prepare readers for potential issues encountered during rotations, residency, or private practiceNearly 250 USMLE(R) Step 1 board review questions facilitate learningPlain and contrast radiographs, CTs, MRIs, and ultrasonography studies enhance understanding of normal
