In recent years, cytology has played an increasingly important role in the diagnosis of disease, particularly those of neoplastic origin. It is not unusual for cytologic specimens to be the only diagnostic samples available from patients with cancer. Many ancillary tests traditionally performed on histologic material are now being performed on cytologic specimens. One such technique, immunocytochemistry (ICC), has already proved to be important in diagnostic tumor pathology.

This atlas examines the value of ICC as well as its limitations in contemporary cytology. Methods have been...

Cross-sectional Atlas of the Brain provides for the first time a set of high-resolution color cross-sections of the human brain (six times higher than that of the only complete data set available to date), each image accompanied by state-of-the-art MRI and CT scans of the same specimen. The sections were made at an interval of 147 micrometers of frozen tissue, virtually artifact free, with the blood vessels filled at sub-millimeter level. The more than two hundred detailed and fully annotated images in this atlas provide a complete body of reference to the gross anatomy of the...

The anatomy of the shoulder is based on complex joint biomechanics, which guarantee the coexistence of both maximum mobility and stability within the same joint. In recent years, diagnostic techniques such as magnetic resonance and arthroscopy have made it possible to study and better interpret those fine anatomical structures which were formerly very difficult to appreciate through "open surgery" dissection techniques that would compromise their integrity.

Difficulties of technical nature, which today have been overcome thanks to technology, delayed the use of endoscopy in...

In the fourth edition of the Atlas of Pulmonary Medicine, each chapter has been carefully reviewed and updated. Figures and references have been revised to include new advances on diagnosis and therapy. New authors have been recruited and several new chapters have been added, including chapters on sleep disorders, HIV and fungal infections, lower respiratory tract infections, and nutrition.

The Essential Atlas of Cardiovascular Disease takes a comprehensive look at all pertinent areas of cardiovascular disease. This four-color atlas includes detailed legends and extensive reference listings for hundreds of illustrations, algorithms, schematics, and images. Topics covered include atherosclerosis, vascular disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, hypertension, valvular disease, interventional cardiology, nuclear cardiology, cardiovascular imaging (echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance), and many others. Supported by Brigham and Women's...

The Atlas of Bladder Disease is the largest and highest-quality collection of images relating to all areas of bladder disease and dysfunction. Images include slides of pathologic and histologic specimens, radiographic images, flow charts, schematic, anatomic illustrations, graphs, tables, and charts. All figures are accompanied by detailed, descriptive legends. This atlas covers all aspects of bladder dysfunction from epidemiology, pathophysiology, and genetics, to imaging, therapy, rehabilitation, and comorbidities. The striking, four-color format combined with the breadth of information...

This book/DVD combination features cases from the New York City medical examiner s office, one of the busiest in the U.S. Because of the number of autopsies performed at this office, the range of examples is exhaustive. The topics covered include typical gunshot wounds, blunt and sharp force trauma, natural diseases with forensic ramifications, accidental deaths occurring in a therapeutic setting, and non-fatal pathologies. The text provides over 1200 color photographs that address both civil and criminally oriented cases. The DVD allows for even easier access to critical information...

This package pairs?the popular anatomy textbook, Gray's Anatomy for Students, 2nd Edition, with the best-selling anatomical atlas, ?the Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, 5th Edition

This illustrated guide to the role of the forensic anthropologist in investigating child abuse is an essential resource in one of the most contentious areas of forensic pathology. Not only does it supply a review of the literature in this field, but it illustrates the material with photographs from real cases investigated by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, which serves a population of four million people. Broken down into body regions and skeletal elements for ease of reference, the atlas facilitates the vital work performed by forensic anthropologists, who bring to the...
