Methodological issues confronting qualitative researchers are dealt with in generalist chapters on sampling and rigour, the use of theory, data analysis, and writing research proposals and reports. Detailed examples of each method are provided to illustrate the research process. This book offers a practical approach to the evaluation and management of the 30 most common genetic syndromes from birth to adulthood. It provides information about the spectrum of variation that can occur, risk of recurrence in the affected individual s siblings and offspring, and whether prenatal diagnosis and diagnostic testing are available.

Sleep disturbance is commonplace and causes much personal distress to sufferers and their families.
It is implicated in a variety of problems, from poor educational performance or disturbed behaviour to accidents or physical dysfunction. Traditionally, research into sleep disorders has generally been undertaken within separate, unconnected medical disciplines and has mainly involved adults. This book covers the diagnosis, classification, aetiology and genetics of epilepsy, neonatal seizures, febrile seizures, epilepsy in adolescence, investigation of epilepsy, drug treatment of epilepsy, surgical treatment of epilepsy, alternative treatments of epilepsy, status epilepticus, the impact of epilepsy and epilepsy clinics. Included are easy to read tables and diagrams. Unlike most previous atlases, this atlas relies heavily on cadaver dissection photographs to illustrate a large, but not exhaustive, number of gynaecologic operations.
