Download or read book Atlas of Gastrointestinal Pathology written by Dora Lam-Himlin and published by LWW. This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This will be a new series for the Pathology program based on the popularity of Arnold/Atlas of Gastrointestinal Pathology: A Pattern Based Approach to Neoplastic Biopsies. This proposed series strives to teach pathology in a format that more closely mirrors daily sign-out. Each title will feature the true spectrum of pathology and how to navigate efficiently to the correct diagnosis. Disease processes are grouped by their histologic pattern of injury, an approach which closely approximates the method by which experienced pathologists mentally approach daily sign-out. These titles will be atlas-based and contain over 1000 images to fully illustrate the diagnostic process. This series is not intended to be an exhaustive description of each entity, but rather a scope-side sign-out tool that aids pathologists in achieving the correct diagnosis, finding the pertinent information, and assembling a thorough and streamlined pathology report. As a compliment to the current Arnold title, this new volume will focus on neoplastic biopsies. It will feature over 1500 photomicrographs capturing the subtle morphologic spectrum of pathologic processes of the tubular GI tract. Each image will be narrated with key diagnostic considerations and will feature call-outs showing subtle features and diagnostic clues. Check-lists for key elements of the diagnostic approach and sample notes for inclusion in pathology reports will be integrated into the text. To supplement the spectrum of microscopic images, relevant endoscopic images, photographs of select gross specimens, and medical figures will be provided. Practical tables emphasizing salient clinicopathologic features, management implications, and therapeutic options will be included when relevant"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Atlas of Liver Pathology written by D.G. Wight and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Needle biopsy of the liver is now an accepted procedure in most large hospitals, and surgeons and laparoscopists are more likely to biopsy the liver under direct vision than in the past. Consequently, increasing demands are being made on pathologists for rapid diagnosis. This full colour atlas provides a practical guide to the histopathological diagnosis of liver disorders, with particular emphasis on clinicopathological correlation and the need for the pathologist to be in full possession of all the available clinical information. Although containing over 350 colour illustrations, the book is more than just an atlas and each section includes a brief description of the main clinical and pathological features of the subject under discussion. For this second edition, many chapters have been rewritten - e.g. on viral hepatitis - and many new illustrations added. The book is intended for the practising and trainee pathologist and the clinician who performs liver biopsies, but will also be of value to postgraduates, residents and students in other branches of medicine.

Download or read book Atlas of Hematologic Neoplasms written by Tsieh Sun and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to its rapid development in recent years, hematopathology has become a very complicated discipline. The current development is mainly in two aspects: the new classification of lymphomas and leukemias and the new techniques. The Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms (REAL classification) and the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematologic neoplasms require not only morphologic criteria but also immunophenotyping and molecular genetics for the diagnosis of hematologic tumors. Immunophenotyping is performed by either flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry. There are many new monoclonal antibodies and new equipments accumulated in recent years that make immunophenotyping more or more accurate and helpful. There are even more new techniques invented in recent years in the field of molecular genetics. In cytogenetics, the conventional karyotype is supplemented and partly replaced by the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. The current development of gene expression profiling is even more powerful in terms of subtyping the hematologic tumors, which may help guiding the treatment and predict the prognosis. In molecular biology, the tedious Southern blotting technique is largely replaced by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The recent development in reverse-transcriptase PCR and quantitative PCR makes these techniques even more versatile. Because of these new developments, hematopathology has become too complicated to handle by a general pathologist. Many hospitals have to hire a newly trained hematopathologist to oversee peripheral blood, bone marrow and lymph node examinations. These young hematopathologists are geared to the new techniques, but most of them are inexperienced in morphology. No matter how well-trained a hematopathologist is, he or she still needs to see enough cases so that they can recognize the morphology and use the new techniques to substantiate the diagnosis. In other words, morphology is still the basis for the diagnosis of lymphomas and leukemias. Therefore, a good color atlas is the most helpful tool for these young hematopathologists and for the surgical pathologists who may encounter a few cases of hematologic tumors from time to time. In a busy daily practice, it is difficult to refer to a comprehensive hematologic textbook all the time. There are a few hematologic color atlases on the market to show the morphology of the normal blood cells and hematologic tumor cells. These books are helpful but not enough, because tumor cell morphology is variable from case to case and different kinds of tumor cells may look alike and need to be differentiated by other parameters. The best way to learn morphology is through the format of clinical case study. This format is also consistent with the daily practice of hematopathologists and with the pattern in all the specialty board examinations. Therefore, it is a good learning tool for the pathology residents, hematology fellows as well as medical students. This proposed book will present 83 clinical cases with clinical history, morphology of the original specimen and a list of differential diagnoses. This is followed by further testing with pictures to show the test results. At the end, a correct diagnosis is rendered with subsequent brief discussion on how the diagnosis is achieved. A few useful references will be cited and a table will be provided for differential diagnosis in some cases. The major emphasis is the provision of 500 color photos of peripheral blood smears, bone marrow aspirates, core biopsy, lymph node biopsy and biopsies of other solid organs that are involved with lymphomas and leukemias. Pictures of other diagnostic parameters, such as flow cytometric histograms, immunohistochemical stains, cytogenetic karyotypes, fluorescence in situ hybridization and polymerase chain reaction, will also be included. A comprehensive approach with consideration of clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic aspects is the best way to achieve a correct diagnosis. After reading this book, the reader will learn to make a diagnosis not only based on the morphology alone but also in conjunction with other parameters.

Download or read book Non Neoplastic Liver Pathology written by Raul S. Gonzalez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a quick, pattern-based reference for interpreting histologic changes in non-neoplastic liver. It is designed to guide the reader based on morphologic pattern and basic clinical information. Each chapter covers a broad but identifiable pattern of pathologic liver findings (e.g., “portal inflammation” or “steatosis”) and discusses the major disease entities that manifest as such a pattern. As liver biopsies can be complex and daunting, such an approach should improve the reader’s ability to identify a likely diagnosis or differential and to distinguish among the possible disease entities. Sample reports at the end of each chapter offer guidance on how to sign out cases. Non-Neoplastic Liver Pathology: A Pathologist’s Survival Guide will be of value to practicing pathologists without specialized training in hepatic pathology, pathology residents and fellows trying to learn the basics of non-neoplastic liver pathology, and hepatologists interested in reviewing liver biopsies with pathologists

Download or read book Endoscopic Biopsy Interpretation written by M. Priyanthi Kumarasinghe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume of endoscopic biopsies being performed continues to grow rapidly and they now represent one of the most common specimens encountered in routine surgical pathology practice. It is essential to maintain the balance between the speed and accuracy while integrating emerging sophisticated pathology techniques into endoscopic biopsies in routine practice. Microscopic appearance is virtually diagnostic of certain diseases. In others a diagnosis may be rendered only after correlating the microscopic pattern with clinical clues aided by ancillary tests. This text provides a guide to systematic approach of endoscopic biopsies to render a safe, quick and accurate pathological diagnosis in an integrated manner as well as important information that pathologists and clinicians should know to get the best value of endoscopic biopsies. The first chapter introduces the key microscopic features that are normal and abnormal in the gut mucosa as appreciated in an endoscopic biopsy. The second chapter presents a general overview highlighting the neoplastic and non-neoplastic patterns that are common to the entire tubular gut. Because some patterns are common to many sites, an overarching chapter gives the reader a generalized approach, which will be further refined in subsequent site specific chapters. The disease etiologies of each pattern are discussed, with emphasis placed on the most common causes that will be encountered in clinical practice. The subsequent chapters that follow then concentrate on patterns encountered at specific anatomical locations. Under each anatomical location (esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine) site specific patterns of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions are described. Conditions that affect many sites in the gastrointestinal tract are discussed in detail in the most relevant site chapter, but are referred to in other chapters as the reaction pattern/s they produce at that site is discussed. Ancillary tests that are required for a diagnosis of some diseases in particular neoplastic conditions are listed with tips for interpretation. This is presented mostly in a table format to assist day-to-day quick reference. In keeping with recent advances of using small biopsies for testing clinically relevant bio markers, important information that the pathologists and clinicians need to know is highlighted in appropriate sites. Authored by experts in the field, each chapter is presented under headings that include diagnostic features, patterns with relevant endoscopic and clinical clues, traps and overlapping features, and appropriate ancillary tests including clinically relevant molecular signatures in endoscopic biopsies.
