Biopsy Pathology in Colorectal Disease shows how the practising pathologist can extract the maximum of diagnostic value from biopsies of the colon, rectum and anus. With the advances in colonoscopic mucosal biopsy techniques these are amongst the most frequently encountered specimens in hospital histopathology departments. This new edition provides practising pathologists and those in allied disciplines with a thorough guide to the diagnosis of colorectal conditions, both common and rare, and offers expert guidance in the handling of biopsy specimens. The most valuable information for diagnostic interpretation of the various types of inflammatory disease is presented clearly and succinctly, minimizing the use of non-diagnostic terms such as non-specific colitis. Optimal ways of handling and examining polyps, the assessment of biopsies in motility disorders and the interpretation of biopsies of anal lesions are described. A rational classification and practical approach to dysplasia is presented. The early chapters describe how to recognize the many different features, both normal and abnormal, which can be regarded as signposts to diagnosis. The significance of these diagnostic signposts is briefly described and cross referenced to later chapters, in which the histological features of the specific diseases are covered in greater depth.

Le implicazioni cliniche e terapeutiche della fisiologia sono, in questo settore del sapere medico, così numerose e varie che è impensabile che un buon gastroenterologo non abbia una solida e moderna visione delle basi fisiologiche delle malattie digestive. Per di più, il concetto stesso di fisiologia clinica trova proprio nell'apparato digerente la sua più rappresentativa applicazione ed il suo più naturale ambito culturale. Il testo fornisce una sintetica ma esauriente disamina degli aspetti della fisiologia digestiva essenziali per l'analisi della storia naturale e per la comprensione dei meccanisrni delle malattie digestive di maggior rilievo. Vengono centrati i punti salienti delle basi fisiologiche della patofisiologia digestiva fornendo spunti interessanti per l'analisi dei sintomi digestivi più comuni e per l'interpretazione dei segni clinici più significativi. Esso contiene anche tutte le chiavi di lettura per l'interpretazione e la comprensione di alcuni dei più importanti ed usali tests diagnostici in gastroenterologia fornendo al lettore gli elementi per il loro uso razionale e consapevole.
