DESCRIPTION
The practice of neonatology requires a careful balance between modern technology and the prevention of unintended
damage to a newborn. Early therapeutics were based on adult medicine, with often catastrophic results to the baby. As
research and understanding of physiology and therapeutics have expanded, care of the preterm and sick infant has improved
drastically.
Avery’s Neonatology
is a practical guide to understanding the pathophysiology of the newborn so that
appropriate treatment decisions can be made.

DESCRIPTION
Neinstein’s Adolescent and Young Adult Health
is written for those healthcare professionals involved in the care of
adolescents, including pediatricians, family practitioners, internists, gynecologists, house staff, and nurse practitioners. Over
the past few years, the field has grown beyond care of the teenager to include issues surrounding young adults with chronic
illnesses who are transitioning to adulthood, adolescents in various institutional settings, and college students. The book is
designed for day-to-day office use and includes a look at normal growth and development, in order to provide the proper
framework in which to consider abnormalities, which are discussed subsequently. Chapters also include ways in which to
develop rapport with teenagers, legal issues associated with the care of teenagers, and psychosocial care.
