https://stm2.bookpi.org/PACGS <p><em>Perinatology: A Comprehensive Guide</em> for Students was developed to offer a coherent and evidence-based overview of the fundamental principles and clinical practices that define modern perinatal care. The book adopts a continuum-of-care approach, beginning with preconception counseling, maternal nutrition, lifestyle and psychosocial considerations, and preventive strategies such as vaccination. Early pregnancy evaluation, accurate gestational age assessment, and contemporary prenatal screening are presented with an emphasis on clinical reasoning. Special attention is given to high-risk pregnancy, including standardized classification, critical maternal conditions, and indications for intensive care management.</p> <p>The neonatal component of this volume focuses on the physiological adaptation to extrauterine life and the development of essential clinical competencies. Core topics such as neonatal resuscitation, systematic clinical and paraclinical examination, respiratory support, and nutritional management are complemented by in-depth discussions of common and high-impact neonatal disorders, including hematologic, metabolic, neurologic conditions, and neonatal jaundice.</p> <p>This book is designed primarily for medical students, but it also serves as a practical reference for residents and healthcare professionals seeking a concise yet thorough review of perinatology.</p> <p>The authors hope that this guide will not only facilitate academic learning but also inspire a deeper appreciation for the complexity and responsibility inherent in perinatal medicine, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes for mothers, infants, and families.</p> en-US Perinatology: A Comprehensive Guide for Students https://stm2.bookpi.org/PACGS/article/view/818 <p><em>Perinatology:</em><em> A Comprehensive Guide for Students</em> provides an integrated and evidence-based overview of maternal–fetal and neonatal medicine, addressing the continuum of care from preconception to the early neonatal period.</p> <p>The book presents core principles of preconception counselling, maternal nutrition, lifestyle and psychosocial recommendations, and vaccinations, emphasising preventive strategies to optimise maternal and fetal outcomes.</p> <p>Early pregnancy assessment is explored through chapters on the first pregnancy consultation, pregnancy confirmation, accurate determination of gestational age, and contemporary approaches to prenatal screening, with a focus on clinical applicability and current evidence.</p> <p>High-risk pregnancy is systematically addressed, including definitions, classification frameworks, and indications for intensive care unit admission, alongside the management of critical conditions such as perinatal sepsis.</p> <p>The neonatal section focuses on the newborn's physiological adaptation to extrauterine life and essential clinical competencies, including neonatal resuscitation, comprehensive clinical and paraclinical examinations, oxygen therapy, and nutritional support. Students are guided through key neonatal pathologies that are discussed in detail, encompassing hematologic disorders, jaundice, metabolic disturbances, and neurologic conditions.</p> <p>Designed for medical students and early trainees, this textbook combines foundational knowledge with practical clinical guidance to support a comprehensive understanding of perinatology in medical practice.</p> Cristian Nicolae Sava Gelu Florin Murvai Carmen Anca Huniadi Romina Viorela Murvai Teodora Maria Bodog Paula Roxana Trif Radu Galis Diana Mudura Mădălina Diana Daina (Fehér) Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s).
