Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Health professionals need a standardised approach to physical measurement in patients with congenital abnormalities and syndromes. The purpose of this handbook is to provide a practical collection of reference data on a variety of physical measurements for use in the evaluation of children and adults with dysmorphic features and/or structural anomalies. Each chapter concentrates on a specific body area, and includes: an introduction which outlines the embryology of
that area, the landmarks from which measurements are taken, the instruments necessary, and the ways in which to obtain the measurements; growth charts; and references to which the reader should refer for in-depth understanding of statistics, methodology, anthropometrics, and anthropologic approach.
Concluding chapters consider specific syndromes and examine the physician's approach to a child with dysmorphic features.
It has been prepared as an easy-to-use pocket book, making it ideal for taking to the ward or clinic.
Long description:
Updated and revised, this is a comprehensive sourcebook of reference data for health professionals involved in evaluating people with abnormal features or syndromes.

taken for accurate recordkeeping. Designed for ease of use, the pocket-sized book has a durable plastic cover, making it ideal for use in the ward or clinic. Measurements are given in both Imperial and Metric.
