A thorough knowledge of normal histology, in all of its wonderful variation, is essential to the study of disease. Diagnostic Pathology: Normal Histology is designed for practicing pathologists, pathologists in training, medical students, and students of histology in any setting as they strive to learn about the spectrum of normal. This reference provides clear, concise information on the normal histology of every organ system. It also features nearly 1,800 images, including photomicrographs, spectacular gross images, electron micrographs, and medical illustrations. There are introductory chapters on electron microscopy, immunofluoresence, immunohistochemistry and histochemistry, the cell, and the basic organization of tissues. As with all books in the Diagnostic Pathology series, the key facts pertaining to each diagnosis are highlighted in a box for ease of use. Features: expansive list of references; IHC and special stains tables for easy reference and thorough understanding; and specimen handling discussion. It features the classic benefits of all Amirsys[registered] titles, including time-saving bulleted text, Key Facts in each chapter, stunning annotated images, and an extensive index.

The new edition of this atlas integrates all significant advances made in the past 15 years in molecular pathology,tumor virology,and genetics of cervical cancer. It emphasizes the importance of these advances in facilitating its pathological diagnosis and in op- mizing clinical management and prognosis. A new chapter on immunohistochemistry has been added,which includes refined detection methods,e. g. ,the overexpression of INK4a p16 as a molecular marker in the early differential diagnosis of premalignant - sions. The section on etiology and pathogenesis in human papillomavirus-induced neoplasia has been incorporated to represent new insights into the sequences of cel- lar and nuclear deregulation at the molecular level. All chapters have been revised to - clude the newest advances and relevant experiences in how to interpret and manage cervical disease; they are supported by the addition of 35 new microphotographic ill- trations. The tumor nomenclature is adapted to the latest edition of the WHO classi- cation; the morphology code of the international classification of diseases for oncology (ICD-O) has been added. We have also updated the list of references by adding recent relevant publications. Again,the staff of Springer-Verlag deserve our thanks for their patience and skill in preparing the manuscript and in reproducing the microphotographs.

Trunk Heading2 Preface to the First Edition During the past decade our understanding of the histopathology of the cervix uteri has changed greatly.

This second edition has been completely updated with new sections on molecular genetics and cancer research, reflecting the explosion of information for pathology techniques. Covering general principles of ophthalmic pathology in a manageable length with over 900 illustrations, this book allows for a clearer understanding. It is bench book designed to support general pathologists who are required to provide a service in ophthalmic pathology and ophthalmologists who work in a service laboratory. The unconventional chapter outline is based on the nature of the specimens received in a laboratory, for example, the traumatized eye and the conjunctival biopsy. This gives the relatively inexperienced a quick lead into the methods required for specimen handling and the requirements for a pathological report by using available histopathological technology. Professor Lee is an experienced UK Ophthalmic Histopathologist.

For this fourth edition of Professor Curran's colour atlas of histopathology, the text has been completely revised and there have been additional immunohistological images added to the 804 colour illustrations. 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. The 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. This book is intended for primarily intended for undergraduate medical students but as with its predecessors, likely to prove useful to postgraduate students in training in pathology or other clinical disciplines.

The most influential and frequently cited pathology classic is now in its Fifth Edition, with thoroughly revised chapters and over 3,000 brand-new full-color illustrations. This two-volume work provides comprehensive, current information on the principles and techniques of cytopathology and the cytologic evaluation of benign and malignant disorders at every anatomic site. This edition provides greatly expanded coverage of the interpretation of aspirated cell samples. Innovations in the practice of cytopathology and data on molecular biology and cytogenetics have been incorporated into the organ system chapters. This edition also has a greater focus on avoiding diagnostic errors. A bound-in image bank DVD is included in this edition.
