Pathology and Pathobiology of Rheumatic Diseases
Hans G. Fassbender
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 503
Pathology and Pathobiology of Rheumatic Diseases glows with the uncommon precision of the pathologist, the clarity of the tea- cher, and the unswerving commitment of the investigator. Fass- bender has produced a major contribution to the literature of rheumatic diseases. The practical experience and wisdom brought together in this book, substantiated by excellent exam- ples of histopathology, produce a landmark for all who have made the study of rheumatic diseases their profession. The enor- mous achievements made in molecular biology, genetics, struc- tural biochemistry, and clinical science have been assembled in this book to interact in a meaningful way with the anatomical histology of the rheumatic diseases. It is not easy for any single investigator to paint the picture of a disease process, from its clinical description to its mechanisms, and then to a defined hypothesis, and finally an understanding. Nonetheless, Fassbender has done this in a clear and convincing way that integrates our current knowledge of this group of dis- eases. Scientific discovery in medicine moves from the bedside to the bench, back to the bedside, and then back to the bench, etc.
It is this iterative process of new observation and new discovery that has given us the achievements in medicine over the past century.

editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 274
Taking anatomy and pathology as its starting points, this book presenst radiographic diagnosis of the breast as plainly and clearly as possible, the accent lying rather on instruction than on the comprehensiveness of a reference work. Taking histopathology as its starting point, this book explains the mammographic signs in order to strengthen the statement made by the mammography, particularly in the diagnosis of carcinoma, which is the central concern of this book. Further-reaching techniques such as transcutaneous puncture methods, ultrasound and MRI are incorporated into the examination sequence. A separate chapter is devoted to mammographic screening for breast cancer; for even today only quality-assured mammographic screening can reduce fatalities due to breast cancer.
