The Fetal and Neonatal Brain Stem: Developmental and Clinical Issues

A collection of essays reviewing current knowledge of brain stem function in foetal and neonatal life, and the changes taking place at birth. The book deals with physiological and behavioural characteristics of the foetus and neonate, and considers the basic science and its clinical applications.

Fifteen Somite Human Embryo (Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Bi

Histological observations of human embryos hitherto have been carried out using paraffin sections of 5 to 10 µm thickness, stained with the H-E method or simply with carmine. Because of the thickness, cells are arranged in 2 or 3 layers in one section and the histological details are not always clear. This book provides detailed morphological features of a very well preserved human embryo with fifteen somites. The sections are about 0.75 µm thick and stained with toluidine blue. The thinness of sections and clearness of staining reveal the histological details of this embryo very accurately. A complete set of high quality photomicrographs are presented for each of the selected sections. The high resolution of the photomicrographs will enable easy comparison with the literature. The clear presentation in this book of embryonic development is increasingly important and highly relevant for in-vitro fertilization, and thus of interest to reproductive biologists as well as anatomists.

Elementary Aspects of Peasant Insurgency in Colonial India

The historiography of peasant insurgency in India has hitherto been a record of the colonial administration's effort to deal with insurgency. The result has been a failure to understand the insurgent. The colonialist has commonly seen insurgency as crime, seldom understanding it as a fight for social justice. Guha's work adopts the peasant's viewpoint and studies "the peasant rebel's awareness of his own world and his will to change it." Guha deduces rebel consciousness largely through the discourse of counter-insurgency--the reports, dispatches, minutes, laws, and letters in which the administration reported rebel activity and registered its hostility to insurgency. He shows that insurgency was discriminatingly destructive, and therefore politically conscious.

Implantation of the Ovum

The exact process by which the fertilized mammalian ovum becomes implanted upon the uterine surface remains something of a mystery, and yet successful reproduction depends upon it. Two methods of contraception—the intrauterine device and the “morning-after pill”—are thought to be effective because they disrupt or prevent the process of implantation, but the biological basis of their effect is still imperfectly understood. This book brings together authoritative accounts by leaders in the field of reproductive biology, researchers who have closely investigated implantation. The subject is approached from several angles: biochemical, endocrinological, pharmacological, anatomic, and immunological. A review of recent studies on implantation serves to put the individual reports in context. This book provides a needed perspective on an important area of reproduction research.
