Studies in perinatal physiology : a collection of published works 1968 to 1999 WalkerDavid 2017 The research summarised in this thesis encompasses work done over three main periods and in three places: from 1968 to 1974 at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology (Queen Victoria Hospital) Monash University; from 1974 to 1982 at the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research, Oxford University; and from 1982 to the present at the Department of Physiology, Monash University, Clayton Campus. Attempting to describe the work under separate headings has been difficult because a major theme has been, and remains, Integrative & Systems Physiology as applied to the fetus and neonate.
