Dieser Atlas verbindet als erster die beiden wichtigen Themengebiete der Pädiatrie und Dermatologie. Da sich das Erscheinungsbild von Hauterkrankungen in der Kindheit stark von dem im Erwachsenenalter unterscheiden kann, stellt dieses einzigartige Nachschlagewerk eine wichtige Quelle sowohl für Dermatologen als auch Pädiater dar. Der Schwerpunkt der Diagnostik von Hauterkrankungen beim Kind liegt insbesondere auf der morphologischen Befunderhebung und ihrer lokalisations- und altersabhängigen Manifestation. Ist die exakte klinische Beurteilung und differenzialdiagnostische Abgrenzung erfolgt, kann sie dem Kind häufig invasive Eingriffe zur Diagnosefindung ersparen. Hier setzt der vorliegende Atlas an. Jahrzehntelange klinische Erfahrung der drei Autoren findet in diesem Atlas ihren Ausdruck. Er lebt von seinen Abbildungen, die ihn zu einem einzigartigen Nachschlagewerk machen, das schnell den diagnostischen Blick trainiert und schult. Exzellent und umfangreich bebildert mit genauen Befundbeschreibungen und ausführlichen Differenzialdiagnosen versehen, führt der Atlas schnell von den Hauptmerkmalen, über diagnostische Kriterien, sicher und einfach zur Diagnose und sollte somit in keiner Praxis fehlen.

Obstetricians must have a firm grounding in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting pregnant women as in some cases these may threaten the life of mother or baby or both. This book still remains the standard reference work on medical disorders in obstetric practice in the UK and UK-influenced areas such as the former Commonwealth. Exhaustive in its coverage, it provides clear practical advice on the major medical disorders the obstetrician is likely to encounter. Each chapter reviews the pathophysiology of a complaint then applies the physiological and pathophysiological changes to the problem of diagnosis and management of the disorder as well as giving clear guidance on the welfare of the unborn One of the major strengths of the book is that each chapter teaches the principles of care and gives an appreciation of the natural history of the disease rather than just the facts. Although a scholarly and rigourous account it manages to point out the clinically relevant information that the practising obstetrician will actually need.
