Pediatricians and others who are involved in the care of infants with malformations are often faced with the task of finding a quick reference before meeting with concerned parents. This book will often be used by clinicians evaluating a child with a common malformation.... The tables that contain the most common associated syndromes with each malformation are very helpful. So, with this book on the shelf, any clinician could easily and quickly inform themselves about common malformations encountered in nurseries and NICUs all over the world.--Doody's Review Service Congenital Malformations is a comprehensive, practical text that highlights key perspectives on the medical management of infants with malformations. With its convenient system-based organization and evidence-based approach, this clinically-focused guide is designed to optimize the utilization of limited diagnostic resources. Easy-to-follow algorithms and tables enable you to rapidly identify and manage the many different malformations that commonly present in clinical practice, such as cleft lip, cardiac septal defects, and skeletal dysplasias.Features: Succinct, high-yield coverage allows for efficient review of the most common malformations Evidence-based orientation provides up-to-date, clinically relevant diagnostic and treatment recommendations that are based on a meticulous review of the scientific literature Consistent templated format delivers easily accessible information on: Epidemiology/Etiology, Clinical Presentation, Associated Malformations and Syndromes, Evaluation, Management and Prognosis, and Genetic counseling Organized by malformation rather than syndrome - for a clear, easy-to-follow diagnostic guide

Modern hydrology is more interdisciplinary than ever. Staggering amounts and varieties of information pour in from GIS and remote sensing systems every day, and this information must be collected, interpreted, and shared efficiently. Hydroinformatics: Data Integrative Approaches in Computation, Analysis, and Modeling introduces the tools, approaches, and system considerations necessary to take full advantage of the abundant hydrological data available today. Linking hydrological science with computer engineering, networking, and database science, this book lays a pedagogical foundation in the concepts underlying developments in hydroinformatics. It begins with an introduction to data representation through Unified Modeling Language (UML), followed by digital libraries, metadata, the basics of data models, and Modelshed, a new hydrological data model. Building on this platform, the book discusses integrating and managing diverse data in large datasets, data communication issues such as XML and Grid computing, the basic principles of data processing and analysis including feature extraction and spatial registration, and modern methods of soft computing such as neural networks and genetic algorithms. Today, hydrological data are increasingly rich, complex, and multidimensional. Providing a thorough compendium of techniques and methodologies, Hydroinformatics: Data Integrative Approaches in Computation, Analysis, and Modeling is the first reference to supply the tools necessary to confront these challenges successfully.
