This reference is essential for anyone providing direct clinical care to newborns, regardless of proficiency level. Experienced physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, midwives, lactation consults and trainees of these disciplines will all benefit from having this practical guide close at hand. * Diagnose never-previously-encountered conditions with confidence * Increase your recognition of skin conditions in a diverse population * Develop familiarity with the spectrum of mild to severe manifestations of a single entity * Avoid unnecessary testing or costly transfers for benign conditions * Recognize the urgency of dangerous conditions in early stages * Approach your patient with a clear plan for next steps, if needed * Access a ready-made teaching tool for your students and trainees "truly an incredible contribution to our field. ... I have worn out the first edition of this text as I often take it with me on consults with the medical students and residents to see a baby in the newborn nursery with some visible variant." Jay P. Goldsmith, MD Clinical Professor, Neonatology Tulane University Former Vice-Chair, AAP Committee of Fetus and Newborn "The Newborn Book is an incredible resource for the trainee as well as the established pediatrician. ... I love how The Newborn Book is organized; the images are outstanding and the accompanying text is excellent. As an internal medicine physician, I found myself wishing a parallel text like this existed for adults. The second edition is expanded, and even better than the first, and it will I believe become a vital part of the pediatrician's armamentarium, a must for their bookshelves." Abraham Verghese, MD Professor and Vice Chair, Department of Medicine Stanford University "The Newborn Book should be available in every inpatient birthing unit and perhaps in all pediatric inpatient units and clinics as well. It is a remarkable comprehensive atlas of common and uncommon physical findings in neonates. ... I am positive that this second edition will be used daily on our newborn unit." Alison V. Homes, MD, MPH Associate Professor, Pediatrics Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth "The Newborn Book is a well-structured resource of evidence, of visual images, and for access to citations. ... The 'body fluid' visuals will likely become a frequented section. On a personal note, I am most pleased with the bilirubin section." Vinny (Vinod K.) Bhutani, MD Professor of Pediatrics and Neonatology, Emeritus Stanford University FROM THE FIRST EDITION: "I have been board certified in neonatology for over 30 years and this is by far the best done and most extensive collection of newborn images I have seen. ... I think this reference is so complete it should replace "Google" for the evaluation of the newborn with an unusual physical finding." Bill Walsh, MD Professor of Pediatrics, Chief of Nurseries Monrose Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University "Every pediatrician who cares for neonates should have a copy!"
