Fanaroff and Martin's Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine 9th Edition (Expert Consult Series) 2 Volume Set

The foundation for successful outcomes in neonatal-perinatal medicine has been the ability to apply knowledge of the fundamental pathophysiology of the various neonatal disorders to safe interventions. Molecular, biologic, and technologic advances have facilitated the diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy of these complex disorders. Advances at the bench have been transformed to the bedside, and survival statistics reveal steady improvements. Nonetheless, although the survival rates may give reason to rejoice, the high early morbidity and persistent neurodevelopmental problems remain cause for concern. Such problems include bronchopulmonary dysplasia, nosocomial infections, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, and the inability to sustain the intrauterine rate of growth when the infants are born prematurely. These problems need to be addressed in addition to the complex birth defects and genetic disorders that now loom as major problems in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The field of Neonatal Perinatal Medicine has transformed from anecdotal medicine to evidence-based medicine. The problem is that evidence-based medicine predicts outcomes for groups but not individuals. The next frontier, individualized, or personalized medicine, requires application of the human genome project to the individual patient. That frontier is gaining momentum amidst a dizzying proliferation of newly acquired scientific knowledge. The translation of bench research to bedside innovation is proceeding smoothly as is the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of many disorders. Advances in genetics have helped solve the etiology of many disorders, and many previously mysterious diseases can now be attributed to mitochondrial disorders accompanied by cellular energy failure. We have also attempted to address these advances.

With the combination of print and electronic journals, the effort to stay current in a single subspecialty remains a daunting task. Indeed, presenting the current status of the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine, even in a two-volume textbook, has become extremely challenging. It is a tribute to the contributors to Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine that this text has reached its ninth edition. We are profoundly grateful to both our loyal and our new contributors who give so freely of their time and knowledge.

For this ninth edition, we have added several new sections ranging from problems of the late preterm infant to fetal origins of adult disease. We have, in addition, completely reorganized and rewritten a large number of chapters and significantly updated the rest. Our accomplished authors and careful editing continue to focus on the biologic basis of developmental disorders and evidence basis for their management. We have also increasingly sought to draw upon international leaders in the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine to provide a truly global perspective.

This book would not exist without the remarkable clinical and intellectual environment that constitutes Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland. On a daily basis, we gain knowledge from our faculty colleagues and fellows, and wisdom from our nursing staff, who are so committed to their young patients. Once again, we have been blessed with an in-house editor, Bonnie Siner, to whom we cannot adequately express our thanks. She is the glue behind the binding in the book and has worked tirelessly with Elsevier staff members to bring this project to fruition. Elsevier has once again provided the resources to accomplish this mammoth task.
