Genes are the building blocks of life and genetics touches every aspect of health and disease. After the Human Genome Project, a lot has been discovered about our genetic make-up and its significance. There are hundreds of genetic conditions that can affect every system, organ, tissue, and cell in the human body and added to it is the effect of multiple genetic variants and their interaction with the environment. Considering this, genetics is too large a topic to be covered. However, this FOGSI Focus is a humble attempt to simplify genetics and make it user friendly to our FOGSlans to apply this in their clinical practice. The Focus covers all essential aspects of genetics in Obstetrics and Gynecology, starting from history taking, pedigree charting and basics of inheritance, both Mendelian and non-Mendelian. Our genetic make-up increases or decreases our risk of certain diseases, and the presence of any pathogenic variant does not guarantee presence of disease or lack of it. The very important aspect of genetic counseling based on family history of diseases or hemoglobinopathies, abnormal screening or ultrasound features and the importance of selecting, ordering, and understanding genetic tests is very well dealt with. Finally, aspects of genetics in subfertility, recurrent pregnancy losses, inherited cancers and the wide world of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and gene therapy will give you a picture of how far science is advancing especially in the field of genetics. We are sure this FOCUS will help you seek information on the common aspects of genetics, and we hope you will come away with more confidence incorporating the principle of genetics in your general or specialty practice.

In this textbook the life course approach to women's health is applied to the clinical practice of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Life is considered a continuum ‘from the cradle to the grave', where each life stage affects the individual's health and wellbeing and that of future generations. This approach in obstetric and gynaecological patient care provides a path towards healthy ageing, with specific attention for lifestyle, prevention and social context. By managing not only disease, but also the health of the population, women's healthcare providers will deliver future care in a much more multidisciplinary fashion. In this second edition of Textbook of Obstetrics and Gynaecology: A life course approach all texts have been updated and new chapters have been added on transgender care, multiple pregnancy, clinical placenta disorders, endometriosis and obstetric emergencies by an outstanding team of authors. The illustrative material has also been expanded including new introductory infographics to each life stage part of the book and new 3D video animations in the e-book version. The textbook should serve as a reference not only for medical and midwifery students but also for gynaecologists in training and other clinicians who have the privilege of caring for women and their families, from the earliest moments in life onwards.

Researchers of human behaviour have identified an'orgasm gap': Men usually orgasm during intercourse, whereas women often do not. This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are “psychologically broken” - Freud's theory – or badly designed – the “by-product theory.” However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors. This is revealed in their patterns of orgasmic response, which are neither random nor inexplicable.Key Features Synthesizes decades of peer-reviewed sex research in anatomy, biology, physiology, and behavior Engagingly written based on feedback from students, peers, and interested lay persons Makes sense of the “orgasm gap” between men and women Provides a wider context of human sexual dimorphism and mutual sexual selection Balances sex research and real-world research and practical applications.
