Muscular and Skeletal Anomalies in Human Trisomy in an Evo-Devo Context

Description of a T18 Cyclopic Fetus and Comparison Between Edwards (T18), Patau (T13) and Down (T21) Syndromes Using 3-D Imaging and Anatomical Illustrations

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first of its kind, this groundbreaking book utilizes data previously obtained to research the evolution of primates and applies it to humans. Completely unique in perspective, it analyzes the anatomy of the human body and its variations and defects and explores both their medical implications and their applications in an evolutionary-developmental (evo-devo) context. It specifically addresses both muscular and skeletal birth defects in human trisomy, and contains a detailed discussion of Down syndrome, one of the most studied human syndromes.
