From the Preface:
Over a decade has separated the first and second editions of Human Malformations and Related Anomalies. This interval has been eventful from many standpoints. A major birth defects prevention strategy - periconceptional folic acid utilization - has proved effective in large-scale studies in several countries. New understandings of the genetic basis for malformations and malformation syndromes have emerged and made possible prenatal and postnatal laboratory diagnostic technologies. While molecular advances may be considered the most spectacular, significant advances in the biochemical and cytogenetic bases for malformations have also been impressive. The interval has brought us to the threshold of recognition of potential roles that epigenetic mechanisms, genomic changes, and disruption of molecular pathways exert on human development.

Amazon.ca: This widely acclaimed reference work gives a comprehensive survey of all significant human malformations and related anomalies from the perspective of the clinician. The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. When known, the molecular or other pathogenetic basis for the malformation is given. Most anomalies are illustrated by photographs or drawings. Specific malformations are linked to syndromes through the extensive use of differential diagnosis tables. Over a decade has passed since the first edition of this book was published, and the revised edition fully incorporates the advances made in the field during the intervening years.. It reflects new understanding of human developmental biology that has emerged from molecular, cytogenetic, and biochemical studies; new observations by clinicians as well as enhanced diagnostic and prevention capacities; and more accurate and comprehensive epidemiology. By condensing much of the information presented in the first volume of the previous edition, and exercising rigorous editorial control, Drs. Stevenson and Hall and their contributors have managed to update the book while reducing its size to that of a single volume. All clinicians and scientists interested in birth defects, including pediatricians, geneticists, genetic counselors, obstetricians, and pediatric pathologists, will find this book to be an invaluable source of information

Biased Embryos and Evolution

Biased Embryos and Evolution
By Wallace Arthur

• Publisher: Cambridge University Press


• Number Of Pages: 248


• Publication Date: 2004-06-21


• ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521833825


• ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521833820

Product Description:
Aimed primarily at a general readership and college students of biology, this book focuses on the question of how embryonic development changes in the course of evolution, thus giving rise to new types of creatures. It takes the view that biases in the ways that embryos can be altered are as important as natural selection in determining the directions that evolution has taken, including the one that led to the origin of humans.

Product Description:

The new edition of The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages represents the integration of analysis of the serial sections of human embryos in the Carnegie collection with results of the latest ultrasound studies. It provides summaries of the morphological status of the brain at each stage of development, covering both normal and anomalous conditions. Preceding the atlas are several chapters that present historical aspects, techniques, and prenatal measurements, as well as an introduction to embryonic staging, and terminology accompanied by over definitions of key terms.
Now illustrated in full colour throughout
Includes high quality photographs, photomicrographs, and diagrams
Expands coverage of magnetic resonance imaging of the fetal and perinatal periods
Highlights molecular and genetic aspects of normal and abnormal development of the brain
Utilizes a set of standardized abbreviations
Provides selected references to seminal studies

Review for the Second Edition:
"[A] really beautiful and wonderfully informative book that no embryologist, comparative anatomist, pediatric neurologist or neurosurgeon should be without. Putting aside the medical relevance of this atlas, it also provides the most captivating version of one of the most complex and fascinating embryological stories of all. BRAIN
This atlas is an invaluable resource for neuroscientists, developmental biologists, comparative anatomists, neurologists, pathologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons.
