Review
The book arrived in perfect condition. The book itself is fairly easy reading; however, a basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology would be helpful in order to fully understand everything that's covered.
this book is probably one of the first books that actually speaks English! In other words, it is very easy to understand, it does not lose you in translation. I found this book to be very interesting, not only because it uses alot of lay terms, but because the examples it uses are very every day examples, and easy to relate to when trying to put the information all together.

Review
It arrived within the promised time frame and was in great condition. I didn't have to get it at the college bookstore so it saved me some money.
I was extremely disappointed by Amazon. I needed this text book for a course and Amazon sent me the 2nd edition of the text; which is the older version; there is a 3rd edition out of this text. This is a terrible blunder by Amazon and it cost me undue stress and money since I now have to replace it with the newer edition, which I will purchase from my campus bookstore.

Product Description
The only review book to cover both anatomic and clinical pathology, Pathology Exam Review offers excellent preparation for the American Board of Pathology Anatomic and Clinical Pathology examinations. The book contains 1,500 board-formatted multiple-choice questions with short explanatory answers, equally divided between anatomic and clinical pathology. Anatomic pathology coverage includes general pathology, cytopathology, autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. Clinical pathology coverage includes immunology, medical microbiology (bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasitology), transfusion medicine, hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, and molecular pathology and genetics. Many of the questions are accompanied by full-color images. A companion Website will include the fully searchable text, a question bank, and an image bank.
Review
As other reviewers have commented, this book has extensive errors, both typographical and content related. I contacted the publisher, and they not only refused to let me return the book, but they didn't even seem to CARE that I had found so many mistakes. A truly disappointing purchase.
I got this book to help me prepare for the boards--there are so many typographical errors, that I question the validity of the whole book. For example, in the answer areas, the authors FREQUENTLY talk about the "other 3" answers--when there are FOUR. When the question is an EXCEPT question the answer is the TRUE answer instead of the false answer. Small cell carcinoma is mixed up with small lymphocytic lymphoma. I wish I could send mine back, but I didn't know how crappy this was going to be until I'd already started answering the questions...
There are very few q-bank type resources for studying for the path boards. Out of the ones that I have seen, Lefkovich seems the most helpful. This book has a lot of good questions, but I give it 3 stars for 2 very big flaws. 1. It has sooo many mistakes! Sorry, but when you're studying for boards, you don't have the time to look up every single question in reference books and make sure it is correct. 2. The answers are so superficial. Sometimes, they don't even explain why the answer is what it is! I have not used the online question bank that comes with the book, but that is an added resource. I don't know why people put books out there without proofreading them thoroughly. Just in the cytology chapter alone, I must have caught about 10-15 mistakes! I wish someone would make an amazing resource for board study! We just don't seem to have one in Path.

Product Description
This workbook, designed specifically as a companion to Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology, 4th Edition, allows students to better understand the content covered in the main text through a variety of workbook activities including labeling, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, case studies, and self-tests. These activities enable students to better understand the complex disease processes they will help diagnose through the use of medical images. The workbook also ensures understanding of the disease processes, their radiographic appearance, and their likely treatment.Features the same comprehensive coverage found in the main text for a better understanding of the disease processes.Diagnostic quality images for labeling and analysis lets students practice on images similar to what they will see in practice so they can become familiar with how pathologies appear in different imaging modalities.A wide variety of exercises covering anatomy, technique adjustment, and pathology identification reinforce concepts and assess learning.Case studies with pathology images and related questions require students to apply knowledge to specific clinical examples.Self-tests at the ends of each chapter with 25-40 multiple choice questions encourage students to assess their own mastery of the content.

Product Description
This streamlined "essential" version of the Molecular Pathology (2009) textbook extracts key information, illustrations and photographs from the main textbook in the same number and organization of chapters. It is aimed at teaching students in courses where the full textbook is not needed, but the concepts included are desirable (such as graduate students in allied health programs or undergraduates). It is also aimed at students who are enrolled in courses that primarily use a traditional pathology textbook, but need the complementary concepts of molecular pathology (such as medical students). Further, the textbook will be valuable for pathology residents and other postdoctoral fellows who desire to advance their understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease beyond what they learned in medical/graduate school. Offers an essential introduction to molecular genetics and the "molecular" aspects of human diseaseTeaches from the perspective of "integrative systems biology," which encompasses the intersection of all molecular aspects of biology, as applied to understanding human diseaseIn-depth presentation of the principles and practice of molecular pathology: molecular pathogenesis, molecular mechanisms of disease, and how the molecular pathogenesis of disease parallels the evolution of the disease using histopathology. "Traditional" pathology section provides state-of-the-art information on the major forms of disease, their pathologies, and the molecular mechanisms that drive these diseases.Explains the practice of "molecular medicine" and the translational aspects of molecular pathology: molecular diagnostics, molecular assessment, and personalized medicineStudent web site hosts "self-assessment" questions; Professor web site hosts all figures from bookEach chapter ends with Key Summary Points and Suggested Readings

Review
Although Rosen's breast pathology is an excellent textbook, you need reviews pertaining to the third edition. Every practicing pathologist knows the textbook. What we need to know is how the third edition measures up to the previous editions. I have not yet seen the latest book so I cannot discuss the third edition.
This is IMHO the definitive of all breast pathology texts out there. Illustrations vary in quality, but the text is solid & clear. Second ed came out in 2001, so we may be due for another update before too long...we will have to wait to see if Dr. Rosen continues to write most of it or turns it over to someone else. There are plenty of controversial & evolving topics (ADH/DCIS & CCC), but this text does an admirable job of dealing with them despite the book's starting to show its age. The Tavassoli text is even older (2nd ed in 1999).
In 2000-01, I had 3 lumpectomies. All my mammograms were negative. The 3rd lump was excised when I was 62. I was a cytotechnologist for Unilab in Tarzana, CA. My medical director, Dr. Adele Hieshima, had a copy of Dr. Rosen's book on breast pathology. We went over it together. I was amazed at how many types of breast cancer there were. Cancer was revealed in my 3rd lumpectomy, but Kaiser could not identify it. They sent my tissue to a specialist in New York. I was surprised to receive the pathology report from Dr. Rosen himself, along with page numbers to consult in his book. His book clarified matters for me so I elected bi-lateral mastectomy. His book and his advice led to early detection and complete recovery. Thank you Dr. Rosen!

Review
This text has a good balance of information and brevity. It is highly usable, and perfect for any massage office or facility to educate the staff. I wish this text had been used in my massage school.
I was disappointed to receive what I feel is a rather expensive book and find that in flipping through the pages, that some of them were upside-down. I expect perfection when buying a new item!
This is the perfect book for Massage Therapists, it covers everything the therapist needs to know and how to treat client complaints through the gentle art of massage therapy.
