Praise for previous editions: An excellent resource for both student midwives and qualified staff alike. (Alison James, Midwifery Lecturer, Plymouth University) "A lovely book with a lot of practical advice and easy to navigate. (Jayne Samples, Midwifery Lecturer, University of Huddersfield) This fully revised and updated third edition of The Midwife s Labour and Birth Handbook is a practical and accessible guide to midwifery care. It addresses important questions such as: * Why are women being pressured into caesarean section for breech presentation when the evidence is equivocal? * If a baby needs assisted ventilation breaths at birth, why not bring the ambubag to the baby and leave the cord intact so the baby can benefit from the extra maternal oxygen supply? * Why is skin-to-skin contact at birth so rarely offered to preterm babies when there is evidence of benefit? This well-regarded text promotes normality and woman-centred care, using research, evidence-based guidelines and anecdotal accounts from women. It challenges practice and guidelines which are biased or based on poor evidence. Guidance is offered on how to deal with difficult, sometimes controversial, situations. The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook 3rd edition is an essential guide for both student midwives and experienced practising midwives. New to this edition: * Full colour photographs including a kneeling breech birth * Suturing diagrams to assist left-handed midwives. * Expanded chapters on slow progress in labour and malposition/malpresentations, including a rare photograph of a face presentation birth.

Volume grande formato (21,5 x 28) di 135 pagine, numerose illustrazioni gran parte a colori.A “prima vista” le connessioni tra l’Oftalmologia e l’Ostetricia-Ginecologia possono sembrare tenui, ma se si guardano i dati epidemiologici si scopre che a livello mondiale la cecità e i gravi deficit visivi colpiscono prevalentemente il genere femminile con un rapporto di circa 3 a 2. Molte gravi malattie sistemiche, come ad esempio le autoimmuni, hanno come bersaglio preferenziale il genere femminile e l’occhio. Basi genetiche e fattori ormonali rendono l’occhio femminile più esposto alle malattie. Questa differenza tra i due sessi spiega la ragione di questo libro: richiamare l’attenzione degli Oculisti, per i quali l’occhio è di genere “neutro”, e degli Ostetrici Ginecologi, che quotidianamente sono a contatto con i problemi di salute femminile, sulle connessioni tra patologie oculari e fisio-patologia ormonale.La gravidanza, l’allattamento e la menopausa hanno importanti risvolti a livello oculare a causa delle variazioni ormonali che comportano. Gli estrogeni, ad esempio, hanno un ruolo protettivo su molte funzioni oculari e sulla circolazione retino-ottica. Leggendo il libro si scopriranno i punti di contatto fra le due specialità.Questo libro rappresenta quindi il tentativo di dare uno spunto di riflessione su una tematica di nicchia inconsueta da trovare nei libri di oftalmologia ed ostetricia-ginecologia. Abbiamo inteso impiegare il nostro extra time per dedicare ai Colleghi Ostetrici-Ginecologi ed Oculisti le nostre conoscenze e quanto abbiamo appreso nel corso della stesura. Siamo consapevoli dei limiti delle informazioni fornite ma ci siamo adoperati per rendere intelligibile all’Ostetrico-Ginecologo la materia oculistica e all’Oculista la materia perinatale e ginecologica. Per questo abbiamo adottato un modo di esposizione sintetico e semplice, utile cioè a rendere loro comprensibili i temi.
