“This book is written not only by OB/GYN practitioners but also researchers working on cutting-edge diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions in the management, treatment, and prevention of high risk pregnancies as well as for promoting general wellness and preventing chronic disease and illness throughout the lifespan [of the patient],” states author E. Albert Reece, MD, PhD, MBA.

The quality of this book and its unique features are a testament to the commitment and outstanding scholarship of the editors and contributors. 'Best Evidence' boxes have been included by the authors in order to highlight significant clinical trials and most chapters close with a summary of key points.
