The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner’s Guide to the Diagnostic Process

Product Details
Book Publisher: Springer (03 March, 2008)
ISBN: 0387744851
Book author: Diana Weedman Molavi
Amazon Rating:

Book Description:
In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. Unlike other medical disciplines, in which the skills of history-taking, physical examination, and assessment are nurtured from the first year of medical school, the practice of pathology bears little resemblance to the visual gallery of pattern recognition that is second-year medical school pathology. Few medical schools have required clinical rotations in pathology, and many electives remain limited in scope and participation. The pathology intern often comes into residency painfully unprepared.
The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginners Guide to the Diagnostic Process lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen with a list of what to look for, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.

Curran's Atlas of Histopathology

Publisher: A Harvey Miller Publication
Number Of Pages: 288
Publication Date: 1999-04-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0192632205
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780192632203
Binding: Paperback

Book Description:
This is the fourth edition of Professor Curran's well-known and widely used colour atlas of histopathology. The text has been completely revised and there have been additional immunohistological images added to the 804 full colour illustrations that make the atlas such a valuable reference text for students and pathologists alike. The clarity of the text and the colour balance of the sharply-focused illustrations are unique. The contents of each illustration were carefully chosen and balanced for the structural importance. The boundaries of the pictures are defined with precision, to make sure that very little space is wasted in the tissues. The general arrangement of the contents has been retained, with a chapter on each of the main systems or organs of the body. There is an introductory chapter of a general nature which demonstrates the more important reactions of the tissues in disease and at the same time teaches the student the basic language of histopathology, thereby enabling him or her to read and assess the significance of changes in the tissue as revealed by microscopy. Most of the conditions are common or fairly common diseases, but occasional rare lesions are included. This book is primarily an atlas, the primary purpose of which is to convey information in visual form. It is meant to complement existing textbooks. A new comprehensive index has been prepared for this edition. The book is intended primarily for undergraduate students but experience with its predecessors suggests that it is likely to prove useful to postgraduate students in training in pathology or other clinical disciplines.

Elsevier's Dictionary of Medicine and Biology: in English, Greek, German, Italian and Latin

Publisher: Elsevier Science
Number Of Pages: 2590
Publication Date: 2005-10-03
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0444514406
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780444514400

Book Description:
Dictionaries are didactic books used as consultation instruments for self-teaching. They are composed by an ordered set of linguistic units which reflects a double structure, the macrostructure which correspond to the word list and the microstructure that refers to the contents of each lemma. The great value of dictionaries nests in the fact that they establish a standard nomenclature and prevent in that way the appearance of new useless synonyms.
This dictionary contains a total of about 27.500 main English entries, and over of 130.000 translations that should normally sufficiently cover all fields of life sciences. The basic criteria used to accept a word a part of the dictionary during the development period in order of importance were usage, up-to-dateness, specificity, simplicity and conceptual relationships. The dictionary meets the standards of higher education and covers all main fields of life sciences by setting its primary focus on the vastly developing fields of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, developmental biology, microbiology, genetics and also the fields of human anatomy, histology, pathology, physiology, zoology and botany.
