Volume grande formato (21,5 x 28) di 135 pagine, numerose illustrazioni gran parte a colori.A “prima vista” le connessioni tra l’Oftalmologia e l’Ostetricia-Ginecologia possono sembrare tenui, ma se si guardano i dati epidemiologici si scopre che a livello mondiale la cecità e i gravi deficit visivi colpiscono prevalentemente il genere femminile con un rapporto di circa 3 a 2. Molte gravi malattie sistemiche, come ad esempio le autoimmuni, hanno come bersaglio preferenziale il genere femminile e l’occhio. Basi genetiche e fattori ormonali rendono l’occhio femminile più esposto alle malattie. Questa differenza tra i due sessi spiega la ragione di questo libro: richiamare l’attenzione degli Oculisti, per i quali l’occhio è di genere “neutro”, e degli Ostetrici Ginecologi, che quotidianamente sono a contatto con i problemi di salute femminile, sulle connessioni tra patologie oculari e fisio-patologia ormonale.La gravidanza, l’allattamento e la menopausa hanno importanti risvolti a livello oculare a causa delle variazioni ormonali che comportano. Gli estrogeni, ad esempio, hanno un ruolo protettivo su molte funzioni oculari e sulla circolazione retino-ottica. Leggendo il libro si scopriranno i punti di contatto fra le due specialità.Questo libro rappresenta quindi il tentativo di dare uno spunto di riflessione su una tematica di nicchia inconsueta da trovare nei libri di oftalmologia ed ostetricia-ginecologia. Abbiamo inteso impiegare il nostro extra time per dedicare ai Colleghi Ostetrici-Ginecologi ed Oculisti le nostre conoscenze e quanto abbiamo appreso nel corso della stesura. Siamo consapevoli dei limiti delle informazioni fornite ma ci siamo adoperati per rendere intelligibile all’Ostetrico-Ginecologo la materia oculistica e all’Oculista la materia perinatale e ginecologica. Per questo abbiamo adottato un modo di esposizione sintetico e semplice, utile cioè a rendere loro comprensibili i temi.

A practical guide for the diagnostic surgical pathologist, this new edition of "Biopsy Interpretation of the Breast" presents the diverse spectrum of pathologic alterations that occur in the breast in a manner analogous to that in which they are encountered in daily practice. Lesions are grouped together according to their histologic patterns rather than by the traditional benign-malignant categorization in order to simulate the way pathologists face these lesions as they examine microscopic slides on a daily basis. The role of adjunctive studies in solving diagnostic problems in breast pathology is emphasized where appropriate. In addition, the clinical significance and impact on patient management of the various diagnoses are discussed and key clinical and management points highlighted.
