Obstetrics and Gynecology Review 1998This is a new and substantially improved edition of Dr. Harrison Sheld's popular board-like question-and-answer review of key articles recently published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Obstetrics and Gynecology (the "Gray" and "Green" journals), now expanded to include Primary Care Update for Ob/Gyns and practical solutions of challenging clinical problems from Internet discussions with practitioners from around the world. The book contains 131 questions on gynecology in primary care, general gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and gynecologic oncology. It contains 153 questions in obstetrics covering general obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. It uses a convenient side-by-side format in which the question is derived from a recent journal article with a referenced answer next to it highlighting pertinent basic science or clinical information. This edition also includes-for the first time-a section of 135 current clinical problems publicized on the Internet with an impressive array of practical solutions from the clinical experiences of practitioners world-wide. |
