Illingworth’s The Development of the Infant and Young Child: Normal and Abnormal, 11e

Product Full Description

Every child’s physician must routinely respond to the inquiry, “Is my child a typical kid? Advanced? Retarded?” R. S. Illingworth presents an excellent yardstick for the examining physician as well as a series of cautionary notes on the use of any yardstick in Illingworth pediatrics by MKC Nair & Naveen Jain.

New chapters on general and neurological assessment of full-term and premature babies bring together information that isn’t readily available to a physician who isn’t trained in baby evaluation. The normal development timetable is less thorough than traditional descriptive descriptions, but the focus is on prognostically significant discoveries.

The author highlights the hazards of making too-early and too-definite forecasts and underlines the importance of repeated examination and evaluation of all child development elements.

Retinopathy of prematurity, otoacoustic emission testing (OAE), auditory brainstem responses (ABR), and brainstem evoked response audiometry are among the topics covered (BERA).

Illingworth must be concise when it comes to classic issues like the relative role of genetics and environment. He lists rather than examines the ever-increasing number of genetic and metabolic illnesses that impact people.
