New Technologies and Perinatal Medicine: Prediction and Prevention of Pregnancy Complications (Maternal-Fetal Medicine)

Book Description:

The potential impact of work being conducted in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics upon clinical practice for gynecologists is immense but not yet completely appreciated. This groundbreaking text from international experts examines the newest topics on the perinatal agenda and gives clinicians a  real look into the future via the newest methodologies.
