Product Description
A core reference for residents and practitioners for over 35 years, Danforth's Obstetrics and Gynecology is now in its thoroughly revised Ninth Edition. To ensure complete, authoritative coverage of recent changes in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Scott has selected three distinguished new co-editors: Ronald S. Gibbs, MD, a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine and infectious diseases; Beth Karlan, MD, a gynecologic oncologist; and Arthur Haney, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist. Content has been reorganized to focus on the modern clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology with maximum authority. This edition has more tables and algorithms that will speed access to critical information.

 DANFORTH'S OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, 8TH January 4, 2002
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is not like an ordinary medical textbook. It is more like an intermediate type between a medical text and a medical periodical. It gives considerable space to progresses of many medical-scientific research and the names of their authors. While on the other hand, it provides extremely concise outlines of etiology-manifestation-diagnosis-treatment for many common diseases, sometimes even skip certain important topics. As far as I am aware of , the following common topics are not or barely mentioned by this book: physiological changes of pregnant women; rubella infection during pregnancy; breast feeding of mothers with mastitis; the route and rate of mother-child transmission of HIV; the differential diagnosis of ruptured ectopic pregnancy; contraindications of the use of IUD; forceps use in labor; APGAR; There are also quite a few mistakes in the rear index.
 Excellent core text for Residents August 8, 1996
