Synopsis

The fifth edition of "Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation" continues to be a user-friendly reference that is designed to be taken to the bedside or wherever children and/or adults with problems relating to malformation are seen. It provides concise but complete information on a large number of common and rare disorders which cause human malformation. In one or two pages the author outlines the salient features of the condition with information on natural history, etiology, and pathogenesis. Textual material is accompanied by illustrations and a brief list of references which typically include the initial description, a comprehensive review, and pertinent molecular studies. The work is designed to allow a practitioner easy access to information that is otherwise not readily available. Reviews of the 4th Edition: 'The most widely used pediatric reference for identifying malformation syndromes' - "Dysmorphology and Clinical Genetics". 'The book is succinctly written, and its standard format is easy to use. All illustrations, including the radiographic reproductions, are of excellent quality...The best reference text on human malformation currently available' - "American Journal of Roentgenology".

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The completely revised and updated New Edition of this definitive text-now in full color! Long known as the source to consult for guidance on diagnosis, prognosis, plan management, and genetic counseling, this easy-to-use reference focuses on the patterns of human defects caused by inborn errors in morphogenesis as opposed to defects caused by mechanical problems. It provides a wealth of information on normal and abnormal morphogenesis * minor anomalies and their relevance * clinical approaches to specific diagnoses * and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. Each chapter includes a description of the specific abnormality-including occasional associated abnormalities-natural history, etiology, and references. On opposing pages are several descriptive photographs and line drawings of either an individual with the abnormality or specific features of the abnormality.
