	Lever's Histopathology of the Skin by: David E Elder publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2008-09-01 ISBN: 0781773636 sales rank: 70611 Product Description Lever's "Histopathology of the Skin" is a classic work that has been used by generations of dermatopathologists, pathologists, and dermatologists to further their knowledge, in their current practices, and in the training of their own students. The pathophysiologic organization used in the book is based on Walter Lever's original scheme, with appropriate modifications over the years, and is more efficient than the pattern method, since related entities are discussed in juxtaposition, instead of being scattered about the book. Strengths of the book apart from its reputation as a classic work include its comprehensive coverage. The pattern-recognition "primer" used in the eighth and ninth editions will be retained and extended, based on ideas developed for the Atlas. This section serves to introduce the notion of pattern-algorithm diagnosis to the readership. The "primer" section will be extensively cross-referenced to the chapters and perhaps also to the second edition of the Atlas. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank. Review got the product in good condition, what amazed me most is thought i'll get it 2weeks after as what they emailed, but it arrived 10days earlier... reliable. .. Dr Elder did an outstanding job editing this excellent textbook. The text is very comprehensive with great quality pictures. It is a must. The main source of information for dermatopathology in the United States. Excellent for the dermatology resident and dermatopathology fellow.

	Diagnostic Histopathology of Tumors: 2-Volume Set with CD-ROMs (Diagnostic Histopathology of Tumors (Fletcher)) publisher: Churchill Livingstone, published: 2007-04-05 ISBN: 0443074348 sales rank: 333827 Product Description Up to date and comprehensive, the New Edition of Fletcher's renowned Diagnostic Histopathology of Tumors provides you with today's best knowledge on the pathologic diagnosis of human tumors. This 3rd edition incorporates all of the latest ancillary diagnostic and prognostic techniques so you can effectively evaluate and confidently interpret suspected tumor specimens. Plus, more than 50 internationally recognized authorities and over 3,100 full-color illustrations provide you with an up-to-date account of tumor morphology, the application of modern diagnostic techniques (including molecular genetics), and key aspects of differential diagnosis.Features over 3,000 high-quality full-color illustrations, providing visual guidance to each tumor or tumor-like entity.Presents correlations of gross appearances to microscopic findings for virtually every tumor type.Includes detailed discussions of differential diagnosis.Provides full coverage of all the latest classification schemes.Incorporates the latest advances in molecular biology and immunohistochemistry throughout.Presents an increased focus on everyday diagnostic problems you are likely to encounter.Features extensively rewritten gynecology and hematology chapters.Uses additional diagnostic flow charts and summary tables for easy retrieval of information.Includes more differential diagnosis tables for better recognition and evaluation of similar looking entities.With over 50 international contributing experts. Review This new 2-volume set is well-written, clearly organized, and does an admirable job of covering the vast topic of tumor pathology. The pictures are crisp and colorful and can be downloaded from the accompanying CD's to be used in powerpoint presentations. Be aware that non-neoplastic disease is not covered, as this set is dedicated solely to tumors. Overall, well worth the money! I was a little hesitant spending $400 of my $500 book fund allowed per year on this updated version of Fletcher. I have been using the departmental copy of the previous edition of this book so far and I can only say that this has been the best and most concise reference book for tumor pathology. I am impressed at how updated this new edition is. This will save me a lot of time going to read journal articles for updated classification schema and new variants of tumors etc. All in all, a great book to buy for a PGY-4 pathology resident and of course, for practicing pathologists. On the other hand, if you are just looking to buy just a single book to get by in pathology, this is not the best choice... just go for Silverberg or Rosai. That said, the page design and layout within is very rich, useful and colorful..plus..it looks great on my home bookshelf getting furtive glances from every non-medico visitor at home..What more can you ask? This is a beautiful new (third) edition of this text, and improvements abound from its predecessor (which I also liked). The images are better in many chapters. The tables are well organized. As a general pathologist, I've found myself using this general text more and more. I can often get as much information as I need without turning to a subspecialty text. Very nice job.
	Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology: A Surgical Pathology Vade Mecum by: Paul.J Tadrous publisher: Wiley, published: 2008-04-25 ISBN: 0470519037 sales rank: 377291 Product Description This handbook is designed to help jobbing histopathologists jog their memory and get through more workload in any working day. Rapid access is facilitated by a bullet-point, tabular and diagrammatic style, as well as by handy anatomical diagrams, guidance on the ?Cut-Up? with emphasis on core ?datasets? and by a special index for frozen section advice, grading systems and scoring systems. The book provides, where useful, differential diagnosis lists and presents diagnostically helpful molecular and immunohistochemical findings. Information is kept up-to-date on a dedicated website www.pathbook.com. The Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology is not designed to be an ?exam cram? and neither will it serve as a basic text for beginners. Trainees, however, will still benefit from the sheer breadth of topics covered in this one small volume: from lab management and lab methods, to autopsy practice, cytology and all sub-specialties in surgical pathology. A chapter on exam technique and mnemonics makes the book also an essential companion for those revising for professional exams. So why clutter your precious desk space with multiple sets of heavy two-volume reference works? Give this handy Vade Mecum a place next to your microscope and see how much time you could save! Review
	Histopathology of Preclinical Toxicity Studies, Third Edition: Interpretation and Relevance in Drug Safety Evaluation by: Peter Greaves publisher: Elsevier Science, published: 2007-04-06 ISBN: 0444527710 sales rank: 545850 Product Description This work covers effectively all aspects of drug-induced pathology that may be encountered within preclinical toxicity studies.

	Atlas and Synopsis of Lever's Histopathology of the Skin by: David E Elder, Rosalie Elenitsas, Michael D Ioffreda, Bernett L Johnson, Jeffrey J Miller publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2006-12-01 ISBN: 0781768454 sales rank: 327183 Product Description Based on Lever's Histopathology of the Skin, Ninth Edition, this full-color atlas presents an algorithmic pattern recognition approach to differential diagnosis of skin diseases. Whereas Lever's classifies diseases by pathogenesis, this atlas aids in differential diagnosis of unknown cases by classifying diseases morphologically, based on their location in the skin and the patterns and cell types seen through the microscope. Within each morphologic category, prototypic disorders are described and illustrated with full-color photomicrographs, and a list of differential diagnostic possibilities is presented. The atlas contains over 1,300 full-color illustrations. A bound-in image bank CD-ROM contains all the book's illustrations. Review
	Wheater's Basic Histopathology: A Color Atlas and Text (Basic Histopathology (Wheater's/ Burkitt)) by: Alan Stevens MBBS FRCPath, James S. Lowe BMedSci BMBS DM FRCPath, Barbara Young BSc Med Sci(Hons) PhD MB BChir MRCP FRCPA publisher: Churchill Livingstone, published: 2002-10-15 ISBN: 0443070016 sales rank: 225823 Product Description This atlas and text of histopathology provides a practical collection of color photomicrographs of diseased human tissue to supplement standard pathology texts. An ideal companion to Wheater's Functional Histology, this new edition gives more emphasis to the scientific basis of disease and clinicopathological correlations. Review This book is what saved my life in the pathology, microbiology and immunology course at my med school. The book put all the histopathology which was very dense and made unnecessarily complicated by the lecturers and the Robbins PBOD book in a very logical way. It has great micrographs with thorough text accompanying them and is a must have. If you agree that seeing is believing, then this book is for you. Microscopic images with accompanying texts illustrate important concepts and salient features of common diseases. The language is clear and facts are presented concisely. I particularly loved the part on general pathology : it contains one of the most beautifully written summaries of the recurring themes in pathology...i.e. cell injury, necrosis, adative response, neoplasia, inflammation, thrombosis etc. Read, re-read and re-read the first few chapters of this book, so that those concepts get stuck in your brain. Once that's mastered, you'll have little difficulty facing systems pathology.Unfortuantely, no book is perfect... this one has no gross/macro pictures, and the texts while perfectly summarised, are not enough to get you thru the boards or other path exams. If you're looking for uncommon or esoteric stuff, search elsewhere. Nevertheless, I would call this the perfect primer of pathology, and an essential companion to the bigger textbooks.Buy it if you really want to UNDERSTAND and APPRECIATE pathology.
