The second edition of Bedside Obstetrics & Gynecology brings postgraduate trainees fully up to date with the most recent advances in the field. The first section covers obstetrics, discussing normal and abnormal presentations (such as normal labour versus breech presentation), complications in pregnancy (including early pregnancy bleeding and ante- and postpartum haemorrhage), and medical disorders related to pregnancy (such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes). Section two covers numerous gynaecological abnormalities. This new edition has been fully revised but continues to emphasise the importance of history taking and clinical examination. New chapters have been added to cover topics such as preterm pregnancy, post-dated pregnancy and intrauterine death, bleeding due to miscarriage, menopause and contraception. Nearly 1100 images, illustrations and tables enhance learning, and each chapter includes questions and answers related to case studies.

While postpartum depression has become a recognizable condition, THE POSTNATAL DEPLETION CURE is the first book to treat root causes of mommy brain, baby blues, and other symptoms that leave mothers feeling exhausted. Any woman who has read What to Expect When You’re Expecting needs a copy of THE POSTNATAL DEPLETION CURE. Filled with trustworthy advice, protocols for successful recovery, and written by a compassionate expert in women’s health, this book is a guide to help any mother restore her energy, replenish her body, and reclaim her sense of self. Most mothers have experienced pain, forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, moodiness, or some form of baby brain. And it’s no wonder: The process of growing a baby depletes a mother’s body in substantial ways—on average, a mother’s brain shrinks 5% during pregnancy, and the placenta saps her of essential nutrients that she needs to be healthy and contented. But with postnatal care ending after 6 weeks, most women never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their bodies after childbirth. As a result, they can suffer from the effects of depletion for many years, without knowing what’s wrong as well as getting the support and treatments that they need.

The decision to update the first edition was taken after considering the enormous advances in aetiology, pathology, and management of diseases of the female lower genital tract. The authors approached a number of colleagues who are experts in these respective fields and who generously offered to assist in the production of this second edition. Alastair Deery enlarged the pathology and cytological aspects of the second edition and Kari Syrjanen contributed his expertise in respect of the human papillomavirus. They and other contributors helped to make the second edition more «balanced» in that it now includes extensive material on the above topics as well as a section on cytological screening that were missing from the first edition. It is imperative for the practising clinician to be aware of many of these new developments so as to help in the overall care of the patient. Knowledge of the causation of a disease will go some way towards alleviating the enormous anxiety that is generated in women who are diagnosed as having lower genital tract precancer. The brief of this text does not allow any extensive coverage of the psychological problems referred to, but it is the responsibility of the clinician to be aware of these problems. Modern technology, especially digital imaging and data management, made it imperative a colleague be found to help the senior authors incorporate these new developments into the second edition. Dr Swee Chong Quek has ably assisted us in this task and a number of these images are included in the text. He contributed the section on cytological screening and was also invaluable in the overall production. Since the first edition, the new developments referred to above have greatly increased the profile of this subject. Clinicians are now called upon by their patients to be «expert» in all aspects of lower genital tract precancer, and it is the hope of the authors that they have succeeded in presenting a second edition that will allow them this knowledge.

Obstetricians must have a firm grounding in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting pregnant women as in some cases these may threaten the life of mother or baby or both. This book still remains the standard reference work on medical disorders in obstetric practice in the UK and UK–influenced areas such as the former Commonwealth. Exhaustive in its coverage, it provides clear practical advice on the major medical disorders the obstetrician is likely to encounter. Each chapter reviews the pathophysiology of a complaint then applies the physiological and pathophysiological changes to the problem of diagnosis and management of the disorder as well as giving clear guidance on the welfare of the unborn One of the major strengths of the book is that each chapter teaches the principles of care and gives an appreciation of the natural history of the disease rather than just the facts. Although a scholarly and rigourous account it manages to point out the clinically relevant information that the practising obstetrician will actually need.

This short textbook on problem-based obstetric ultrasound is an important and needed text for those who scan for fetal anomalies. The book takes a pragmatic approach by first defining an anomaly followed by a decision tree that indicates what other features need to be investigated to reach the definitive diagnosis. In a short text it is difficult to cover the entire pathology seen on scanning, but it covers more than adequately most of the common problems. In addition to the decision algorithms, the text is well illustrated by the appropriate scan pictures which would be of immense value.
