Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Book and CD-ROM

Description
European Practice in Gynaecology and Obstetrics is a series of books conceived and endorsed by the European Board and
College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG). The topics chosen for each volume are those of significant clinical
interest where treatment is changing in response to research findings and developments in practice. The volume editor
and contributing authors are European specialists invited to contribute because of their expertise in their field. The
books concentrate on various types of management used in European practice as well as published results. The authors
present treatments for which a consensus exists and - when there is no consensus - they discuss the key elements of the
controversy. Each book provides a review of the basic science, recent concepts in pathophysiology, clinical aspects,
treatment and unresolved problems or controversies, as well as the major recent references. A final section provides
multiple-choice questions for each chapter.
