Abstract

Pre-eclampsia, which is characterized by maternal hypertension, proteinuria, hypoperfusion of end organs and a systemic maternal innate inflammatory response, is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity world-wide. When of early-onset, pre-eclampsia is associated with fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). IUGR can occur in isolation, so-called normotensive IUGR. What is poorly understood is that some women develop the maternal syndrome of pre-eclampsia whilst others have only the fetal syndrome (normotensive IUGR), despite the fact that the initiating event in both is believed to be reduced uteroplacental perfusion.

Abstract

A concise, outlined review of surgery. The coverage of surgical subjects and the USMLE-format questions enable students to successfully complete their clerkship, prepare for the shelf/end-of-rotation exam, and study for USMLE. This edition has been updated and streamlined to focus on essential material. Questions have been revised to better reflect the level of difficulty of shelf/end-of-rotation exams. The book has a new two-color design with more illustrations and wider margins for notes.
