Key topics in neonatology - Richard H. Mupanemunda

Completely revised, the second edition of Key Topics in Neonatology provides a practical, systematic reference for all the major topics in neonatal medicine. Practical and easy to use, the book retains the same well-received format as the first edition, updates subject matter where significant recent developments have taken place, and widens the scope of the text by adding entirely new coverage.

This is the resource you will want on hand to solve the complex issues you face on a daily basis.
