Science today
is advancing do fast that one has to run to be at the same
place. It is therefore all the more necessary to keep us
completely abreast of the nuances in our subject. For
teachers, students and practitioners of the subject this
task becomes daunting. Not only because of the rapid pace of
the change, but also because of the innumerable conduits
through which knowledge comes to us these days. Traveling
throughout the country and abroad on lecture and teaching
assignments, I was always asked by specialists and students
in our subject to start publishing a series of publication
like this which covers the most recent developments in our
subject, relevant to the current practice.
Ideally,
neural tube defects should no more be a surprise finding in
the fetus at term anymore. But it still does surprise us.
There is a
special inclusion on this in this current book. Antibiotics
in preterm labour: yes or no? Arresting preterm labour: How
and when? These are some of the dilemmas that we face in our
current practice. The chapter on preterm labour covers these
aspects succinctly. In India, Manual Vacuum Aspiration has
been revived in a big way. Many practitioners have been
asking me about the same. We have a special chapter on this
aspect in the pages to follow. Entire hoopla around H.R.T
seemed to be falling apart since the time that startling
revelations on the long-term effects of these came in. This
aspect is covered very informatively here so as to enable
clear stand to be taken in current practice. Markets are
swarmed with ovulogens. In clinical practice we continuously
require to update our knowledge about them. It is with this
aim that this chapter has been written. In this way all
topics have been carefully selected to suit the needs of
current practice.
The
contributors of all the chapters too have been carefully
selected. A delicate balance is continuously preserved
between the young and the experienced, the very well known
and the up coming, from India and abroad, well read and
knowledgeable. I am extremely thankful to them for accepting
my invitation and willingly contributing to this volume.
They all had one line common running through them “They all
love their subject”.
I would like
to specially mention with a deep sense of my gratitude for
Dr. Shonali Agarwal, who has actively helped me with
the editorial work. Without her help it would have been well
nigh impossible to bring about this publication in time.
I dedicate
this series and the volume as one more attempt of mine in
pursuit of academic excellence, at the service of humanity
and mankind, at the feet of the Almighty!
