Providing an easy-to-digest, comprehensive review of what can be a complex and challenging subject, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 12th Edition, covers all aspects of normal and abnormal embryonic and fetal development. In a clear, concise manner, this lavishly illustrated text has been extensively revised to incorporate recent research and current clinical practice guidelines, meeting the needs of medical and health sciences students as well as those in graduate programs. Online features include multiple-choice questions and narrated animations to further support student success. Guides you month by month and stage by stage through embryo and fetal organ and systems development, using full-color photographs of clinical cases, relevant modern medical imaging, and numerous high-quality supportive figures. Covers timely topics such as signaling pathways used during development, epigenetics, gene editing and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, reproductive in-vitro technology, stem-cell culture and creation and use of human organoids and early embryoids, morphogens, new teratogens (infections and environmental chemicals), and clinical genetics of common birth defects. Emphasizes modern clinical imaging techniques, with many new 3D HD color rendered images of embryos and fetuses, 3D constructions of whole embryos, and imaging updates to sections on the head and neck, genitourinary system, ovarian development, nervous system, eyes, and integumentary system. Details how molecular biology has affected clinical practice, including techniques such as recumbent DNA technology and stem cell manipulation. Contains clinical "Blue Boxes" cases with answers to questions, numerous illustrations, crisp medical imaging figures, and many clinical photographs. Provides clinically-oriented problems for each chapter, with corresponding answers and explanations designed to facilitate discussion and learning. In addition, multiple-choice questions and answers are available online for supportive self-assessment. Features 18 outstanding, narrated, full-color animations to help you as you explore and learn the complexity of embryological development. Provides the knowledge base needed for today's examinations, including USMLE Step 1, as well as for future clinical practice. An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

Written by the authors of the renowned embryology textbooks The Developing Human and Before We Are Born, Concise Clinical Embryology: An Integrated, Case-Based Approach offers essential, high-yield information and high-quality clinical cases to illustrate key principles of embryology and their relevance to everyday practice. Ideally tailored to the needs of today¿s medical students and medical courses, this concise text clearly explains how embryology relates to other medical disciplines and its importance in safe, effective clinical practice. Abundant illustrations throughout help you grasp highly visual concepts quickly and easily. Provides easily digestible, clinically oriented coverage of human development, establishing key principles in a week-by-week, stage-by-stage approach, before moving on to fetal organ development by body system. Includes clinical cases and follow-up questions in each chapter that help relate key principles to everyday practice, aid in problem-based learning, and offer review for exam preparation. Covers the latest advances in embryology, including normal and abnormal embryogenesis, causes of birth defects, and the role of genes in human development. Contains superb illustrations from cover to cover, including diagnostic images, full color figures, histology, and more. Summarizes molecular biology highlights throughout the text. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access 18 3D animations with expert commentary, plus all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
