Integrated Approach to Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ePub)

Written by medical specialists and faculty of the Department of Obstetricians and Gynaecology, National University Health Services, Integrated Approach to Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a textbook for medical undergraduates and residents.This textbook is unique in that it takes an integrated approach in discussing the six phases in the life of a woman, namely, the early years of growing up, the reproductive years, pre-conception, early pregnancy, pregnancy care, and functional ageing in a mature woman.Emphasis has been focused on information that constitutes essential "core knowledge" in the blueprint of the medical undergraduate curriculum. The format is easy to follow: background introduction to history; examinations and investigations to establish a diagnosis and then treatment and management. However, this may have to be modified as deemed appropriate for a particular topic. Where appropriate, knowledge that is "good to know" has been incorporated beyond the essential "core knowledge".Contents:The Early Years/Growing Up:Gynaecology History Taking and Examination (Stephen Chew)Puberty and Adolescence (Susan Logan)Menstrual Disturbances (Stephen Chew)Amenorrhoea and Oligomenorrhoea (Yong Eu Leong)Dysmenorrhoea (Yong Eu Leong)Reproductive Years:Abnormal Smear and Cervical Screening (Ida Ismail-Pratt and Jeffrey Low)Abnormal Vaginal Discharge and Pruritus Vulvae (Shakina Rauff)Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases (Lim Min Yu)Pelvi-Abdominal Mass and Benign Ovarian Tumours (Ida Ismail-Pratt and Jeffrey Low)Uterine Fibroids and Adenomyosis (Ng Ying Woo)Unplanned Pregnancy (Clara Ong and Kuldip Singh)Family Planning (Arundhati Gosavi and Kuldip Singh)Conception — Where Life Begins:Reproductive Physiology of the Human Spermatozoon and Oocyte (Zhongwei Huang)Female Infertility (Shakina Rauff, Lim Min Yu and Wong P C)Male Infertility (Joe Lee and Wong P C)Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (Zhongwei Huang and Mahesh Choolani)Early Pregnancy:Bleeding in Early Pregnancy (Mary Rauff)Acute Abdomen in Gynaecology (Fong Yoke Fai)Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (Pearl Tong and A Ilancheran)Prenatal Screening and Diagnosis (Citra Mattar)Pregnancy Care:Obstetrics History Taking and Examination (Wong Yee Chee)Routine Antenatal Care (Chua Tsei Meng and Kuldip Singh)Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (Claudia Chi)Diabetes in Pregnancy (Claudia Chi)Anaemia in Pregnancy (Vanaja Kalaichelvan and Kuldip Singh)Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy (Anita Kale)Thyroid Disorders in Pregnancy (Chan Shiao-Yng)Cardiac Disease in Pregnancy (Chan Shiao-Yng)Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in Pregnancy (Claudia Chi)Antepartum Haemorrhage (Su Lin Lin)Foetus Smaller than Dates (Biswas Arijit)Multiple Pregnancy (Harvard Lin, Biswas Arijit and Kuldip Singh)Preterm Labour and Pre-Labour Rupture of Membranes (Citra Mattar)Malpresentation and Abnormal Lie (Su Lin Lin)Previous Caesarean Section (Tan Eng Kien)Foetal Demise (Anita Kale)Induction of Labour (Ng Kai Lyn and Chong Yap Seng)Normal and Abnormal Labour (Mahesh Choolani)Complications at Delivery (Tan Eng Kien)The Puerperium and Breastfeeding Related Problems (Naushil Randhawa and Chong Yap Seng)Mature Women and Functional Aging:Menopause (Susan Logan)Well Women Screen (Anupriya Agarwal)Genital Prolapse and Urinary Problems (Roy Ng Kwok Weng)Carcinoma of the Cervix (Pearl Tong and Joseph Ng)Carcinoma of the Endometrium (Joseph Ng)Carcinoma of the Ovary (A Ilancheran)Readership: Medical undergraduates and residents.
