	The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process by: Diana Weedman Molavi publisher: Springer, published: 2008-03-06 ISBN: 0387744851 sales rank: 199786 Product Description In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. Unlike other medical disciplines, in which the skills of history-taking, physical examination, and assessment are nurtured from the first year of medical school, the practice of pathology bears little resemblance to the visual gallery of pattern recognition that is second-year medical school pathology. Few medical schools have required clinical rotations in pathology, and many electives remain limited in scope and participation. The pathology intern often comes into residency painfully unprepared. The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner?s Guide to the Diagnostic Process lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen with a list of what to look for, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other. Review This is the perfect book for those starting out their training in pathology. It's akin to the 'at a glace' series of books for other specialties. The full texts are just too overwhelming for the novice. This should be a prescribed text! It's that good! Dr. Molavi's short textbook has been an invaluable aid to me during the initial portion of my residency. From common sign-outs to the multiple unknown conferences we have had, her book has served as a quick and understandable resource to help me get started. Pathology, as a medical specialty that is not usually covered well in medical school, was something of a black box for me. Her well-written book was succinct and understandable to me - vitally important in trying to navigate the tens of thousands of pages from hundreds of resources. Is it comprehensive? It is not meant to be. But for bridging the gap for new residents in pathology, I have found it invaluable. I heartilly recommend it to anyone getting started in this fascinating field, as well as those who are just interested in what pathology actually is. Fantastic book! I'm in second year of my pathology residence and this book is very useful for me. It was written in the same style, as books of "...for dummies" series - simple, but not primitive and very informative. All illustrations are of very good quality (unlike Robbins and Cotran's) and, what is very important for novice - all have arrows, arrowheads and other indicators of "where to look". Of course, this book is NOT enough to pass exams or to work as pathologist, but it is very book for beginnersnin pathology
	Forensic Pathology, Second Edition (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations) by: Vincent J.M. DiMaio M.D., Dominick DiMaio publisher: CRC, published: 2001-06-28 ISBN: 084930072X sales rank: 76391 Product Description Medicolegal investigation of death is the most crucial and significant function of the medical examiner within the criminal justice system. The medical examiner is primarily concerned with violent, sudden, unexpected, and suspicious deaths and is responsible for determining the cause and manner of death, identifying the deceased, determining the approximate time of death and injury, collecting evidence from the body, issuing the death certificate, and documenting these events through an official autopsy report. The basis of the medicolegal investigation is forensic pathology.Written for both medical and investigative professionals, Forensic Pathology, Second Edition presents an overview of medicolegal investigative systems. Completely updated, the book examines investigative techniques and procedures that lead to obtaining accurate conclusions of death by homicide, accident, or suicide. Review This is an excellent basic/reference book, which by no mean can be compared with wider and more detailed textbooks (such is Knight's Forensic Pathology); as it does not cover some fields as gunshot wounds or blood spot pattern analysis. But let's remember that is concentrates on the pathology; and in that sense it is rather informative and useful. Abovementioned topics are elaborated in the other publications of the same publisher. An excellent resource to forensic pathology. I would recommend you have some reference of medicine, however, before reading it. It's difficult to understand some of the terminology if you're picking up the book and reading without prior knowledge. MISSING INFORMATION IN THE BOOK ABOUT SHOTGUN WOUNDS, AUTOPSY PROCEDURE,BLOOD SPOTS ETC.
	Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology publisher: Wiley-Blackwell, published: 2008-05-27 ISBN: 0813800765 sales rank: 53803 Product Description This book provides in-depth information about common clinical laboratory assays that are used to evaluate domestic mammals, including what assays measure, sample or assay conditions that affect results, and what results indicate about the physiologic or pathologic state of a patient. Whenever possible, diseases and conditions are grouped by common mechanisms or processes to promote a conceptual understanding of laboratory data that can be generally applied across many species. New to the second edition are additional disorders, diagnostic tests, illustrations, images, references, and pathophysiologic explanations. This text has proven valuable to students and veterinarians wanting a fundamental understanding of veterinary clinical pathology. Review This book is amazing for most things in clinical chemistry. I have been completely happy with it. College-level libraries strong in veterinary references at the advanced level will appreciate the second updated edition of Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. It provides in-depth details about common clinical laboratory assays used to evaluate domestic animals and this edition adds additional disorders, diagnostics, images, references and more, covering abnormal lab data, revising color plates to include microscopic images, adding new chapters with accompanying websites, and rounding out the reference's information and impact. This should be on every practitioner's shelf. It is effective for both quick, thorough reference and for technical explanation - vet students, buy this book. I wish more books struck such a readable balance.
	Diagnosis and Evaluation in Speech Pathology (7th Edition) by: William O. Haynes, Rebekah H. Pindzola publisher: Allyn & Bacon, published: 2007-08-17 ISBN: 020552432X sales rank: 157884 Product Description The Seventh Edition of Diagnosis and Evaluation in Speech Pathology continues to be the leading text in its field, providing a practical process approach to the diagnosis and evaluation of speech and language disorders. This engaging, yet comprehensive resource provides a strong foundation in diagnosis and evaluation for students in training and clinicians alike. It develops a rationale for each type of assessment, including both standardized and non-standardized approaches. This text is ideal for practitioners and clinicians who are struggling to stay in tune with the rapidly changing field of Speech-Language Pathology. Review I got my book in a good amount of time and it was in very good condition-like new as promised. Hi Graduate Students, Isn't it a shame that we are paying hundreds of dollars for textbooks that fall apart when you read them, well, this is one of them. I love the book itself - an excellent book in content. The producer of the physical book itself is doing a poor job of manufacturing. I did call the publisher about this issue. This seems to be a trend in graduate textbooks. Just my thoughts, we are paying too much for shabby treatment. I got an email a week after I placed my order saying that it had been delayed and they gave me a expected date of arrival. Well it didn't come until about another two weeks after the expected date of arrival, on the very last day that they said it would arrive. It took about a month to finally get my order. I wish I would have cancelled my order when I had the chance but they gave me misleading information.
	Anatomy and Pathology: The World's Best Anatomical Charts (The World's Best Anatomical Chart Series) publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2007-06-01 ISBN: 0781773563 sales rank: 72667 Product Description This Fifth Edition features 58 new and updated anatomical charts created by the world's best medical illustrators. Since the last edition, we've added nine brand-new charts and replaced three charts with new editions. This comprehensive reference is an essential addition to every library, whether you are a health professional, student, or interested consumer. The book is ideal for studying human anatomy, for patient consultation, or for quick reference. Anatomical charts show the human body in a format that provides a clear and visual understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and diseases. Medical terminology and easy-to-understand supporting text are printed directly on each chart so you never have to refer to a separate key card or manual. Review This is a great book, for a great price. Ideal for first timers in A & P and anyone who wants some organ system charts. Charts are easy to read and are fantastic for reference. My preschool grandchildren wanted to know what was under our skin. Their parents tried to explain but only when shown this book with its pictures did they seem to understand what they were being told about the human body. They are fascinated with the illustrations, especially the baby in uterus. From the other room, after much time explaining the pictures in the book, we heard the older child tell the younger one, "I mean my beating heart inside, not the red valentine one!" They will be able to reference this volume for years to come to answer their questions. This book has great visuals to show the students about different areas of the human body. A must have!
	Hegde's PocketGuide to Treatment in Speech-Language Pathology by: M.N. Hegde publisher: Delmar Cengage Learning, published: 2007-07-12 ISBN: 141801494X sales rank: 84066 Product Description Widely recognized as one of the most valuable resources in speech-language pathology, the respected Hegde's PocketGuide to Treatment in Speech-Language Pathology is now in its third edition. Designed as a companion volume to the PocketGuide to Assessment in Speech-Language Pathology, Third Edition, it provides clinical practitioners and students in communication sciences and disorders a quick reference for treatment techniques. The most desirable features of a specialized dictionary of terms, clinical resource book, and textbook of treatment are combined in this single, easy-to-access resource. Treatment techniques are provided in a "do this" format. Information not directly related to treatment techniques has been moved to the new PocketGuide to Communication Disorders, allowing for expanded coverage of treatment techniques and the addition of important new entries, making this edition more relevant and useful than ever! Review Maybe it's just me, but this book wasn't very helpful. I just graduated with my masters and referred to it a couple of times throughout my practicum experiences hoping each time the book would be different, but it never really helped me figure anything out. This book was a suggested book for one of my courses. I didn't buy it for awhile because it was another book I had to buy. When I saw it at the bookstore and flipped through it I thought it was great. It's like a dictionary for SLP ! It's definitely worth and it is SO easy to use and find information quickly. I highly recommend getting it! Wonderful guide and so easy to read. Very concise and easy to flip to the exact disorder you are wondering how to treat or assess! One of the best SLP books I have!
	Stedman's Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Words: Includes Histology (Stedman's Word Book Series) publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2008-07-01 ISBN: 0781789958 sales rank: 116856 Product Description Stedman's Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Words, Fifth Edition provides fast and easy access to terminology related to clinical pathology, anatomical pathology, hematology, medical technology, blood banking, and clinical chemistry. This edition features more than 10% new terms obtained by thorough review of respected journals, catalogues, textbooks, and Websites. The expanded appendix section includes new, accurate, and more detailed Anatomical Illustrations; updated and more practical Sample Reports; and updated sections containing Elements and Symbols and Common Lab Tests. Review This book is in excellent shape. The delivery was fast and I am sure I will use it for many years to come. As stated by the other reviewer, yes, this is a list of words. That's why its title says "Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Words." If it were to include definitions, it would be a dictionary, not just a word book.As such, it excels. I rate it less than 5 stars only because there are several other Stedman's books that I use on an almost daily basis while this one doesn't come in handy quite as often; however, for such necessary items as microorganisms and lab abbrevations this is indispensible. This book is a list of words in alphabetical order. It is not a dictionary. Lists acronyms, etc., for medical transcriptionists.
	Sternberg's Diagnostic Surgical Pathology publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2009-08-01 ISBN: 0781779421 sales rank: 150159 Product Description Completely updated, the Fifth Edition of this standard-setting two-volume reference presents the most advanced diagnostic techniques and the latest information on all currently known disease entities. More than 90 preeminent surgical pathologists offer expert advice on the diagnostic evaluation of every type of specimen from every anatomic site. The Fifth Edition contains over 4,400 full-color photographs. This edition provides detailed coverage of the latest developments in the field, including new molecular and immunohistochemical markers for diagnosis and prognosis of neoplasia, improved classification systems for diagnosis and prognosis, the role of pathology in new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and the recognition of new entities or variants of entities. Where appropriate updated World Health Organization (WHO) terminology has been employed for tumor diagnosis. A few of the many specific changes include an update on the serrated adenoma and serrated carcinoma pathway; virtually new chapters on salivary gland, larynx, blood vessels, heart, non-melanocytic skin tumors, and placenta; complete updates of the lymph node and bone marrow chapters incorporating the new WHO terminology; and an expanded discussion of the molecular biology of thyroid neoplasia. All full-color illustrations have been color-balanced to dramatically improve image quality. A companion Website will include the fully searchable text and an image bank. Review This two volume set was advertised at..., but when purchased, the vendor admitted they only had the second volume for the low, low price of ... Bait & switch Of course Sternberg is one of the leading sources of general surgical pathology information and the book lives up to its reputation with adequate discussions of each topic with relatively good microscopic descriptions and information on special stains (unlike the new Rosai/Ackerman). However,consistently, he gives the name of an entity in one place in the books/volumes and then every where else it is only reffered to by its abbreviation. So now if you don't remember the abbreviation you have to hunt for it ealier in the chapter or in other chapters all together. And of course the abbreviation is not in the glossary nor is there a seperate index of abbreviations. I find that this adds unnecessary distractions and time to what should be smooth studying. An excellent summary of surgical pathology. Does need to be supplemented with monographs and articles, such as those by Odze, Fenoglio-Preiser, Barnhill, Rosen, Foucar, Harris, Gnepp, Neville, Vigorita, Stocker, Humphrey, Ro, Robboy, Connor, Burger, Ellison, Miettinen, AFIP tumor and non-neoplastic fascicles, Major Problems in Pathology, Atlases in Diagnostic Surgical Pathology, WHO blue books, and all the usual journals. I also recommend Fletcher as an additional source.
	An Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology: Preparation for Praxis And Comprehensive Examination by: Celeste Roseberry-McKibbin, M. N. Hegde publisher: Pro-Ed, published: 2006-10 ISBN: 141640127X sales rank: 106584 Product Description An Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology, Second Edition is tailor made for speech-language pathology students preparing to take departmental comprehensive examinations as well as the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology. In addition, this inclusive book is a terrific teaching tool for university faculty---offering preview outlines, brief introductions, and summaries. Each chapter concludes with test questions in essay and multiple-choice formats. Practitioners will find this book to be an outstanding reference text. Review I always order books from amazon and never have a problem. It has been over 1 month and I did not receive my book. I have been in touch with the seller and he is sending me a form for a full refund. Not happy. I contacted him about 3 wks into the order confirmation and he told me to give it the full month to arrive, although he claims it was shipped 2 days after the order. Makes no sense. Wont be ordering from this seller again. If you're looking for accurate, concise practice Praxis tests this is NOT the book for you. Bought this book because my prof told me it would help study for Praxis AND it came with a fancy CD with practice tests! The content is ok (a little wordy at times, vague at others). I'm taking the paper-based Praxis, and it took me a long time to figure out how to print the practice tests (without answers) so I could practice with a hard copy. The CD program was not created or proofed well. Some answers were typed in wrong (e.g., 43.13% instead of 34.13%). It wasn't that big of a deal because I already knew the answer...but what other questions did they screw up on? Also, test 1 did not have the correct answers on the CD...I had to look them up one by one with the "book reference" chapter. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed in this book with regards to the Praxis practice part. It is a good quick reference for the wide range of subjects in SLP scope of practice. Wouldn't buy it again. This book would have helped me alot in grad school. It breaks things down quite nicely. I just took the Praxis today and I found the book to be helpful. The books itself is huge but start early and read 1 chapter at a time and you will be good to go! :) Kudos to the authors!

More! Review Generally speaking the book is useful and it might be an excellent help for teachers. It wood be the best if the book will contain more questions and answers about Clinic Pathology and Laboratory analysis. It wood be evn better if correlated with clinical cases, from the simpler to the more complicated. few questions should be of pure reasoning in Medicine and related subjects. In any case thank to the authors for the excellent effort. Finally a book that asks only the questions you need to know. Finally a book that ignores unnecessary details and instead focuses on practical knowledge. This book is for anyone who has ever sifted through a huge pathology textbook wondering what is important. Finally a patholigist and teacher lays out what is important. In addtion to pathology, this book is great for genetics, biochem, endocrinology, and pathophysiology. If you can learn what is in these pages you will have the base you need to answer any USMLE question and you will amaze your residents in year three as you show a broad based knowledge of disease that you can actually use.
