Diagnostic Gynecologic and Obstetric Pathology


Book Description

In covering the topic of gynecologic and obstetric pathology, this book attempts to carve out its own niche midway between an atlas and a traditional textbook. The gross and microscopic images in this atlas are presented exclusively in color, and are supplemented by pertinent clinical information and discussions of differential diagnostic considerations. When deemed appropriate, images of immunohistochemical and special stains are included. To further enhance their visual appeal and the overall learning experience, many images in this book are presented with annotations and/or in composite form, and selected images have been enlarged. This image-intensive textbook also includes numerous Pap smear images and cytologic-histologic correlations. In addition to coverage of pathology of the organs of the female genital tract, brief overviews of the normal histology of these sites are provided as necessary background information. Separate chapters are also devoted to placental and peritoneal pathology. There is an emphasis on diagnostic-related issues pertaining to common lesions and their variants, although classic forms of rare lesions are also presented. In selected instances, recommendations on the processing of gross pathology specimens, discussions regarding the optimal approach for intraoperative consultations, and recommendations on the phrasing of key portions of pathology reports are provided. The 10 chapters of this book are organized by site, and the beginning of each chapter lists the entities discussed and their corresponding page numbers.




Algorithms for Obstetrics and Gynaecology


Book Description

Concise, with a structured approach, Algorithms for Obstetrics and Gynaecology supports development of key problem-solving skills obstetricians and gynaecologists are required to maintain under pressure. All algorithms are designed to support rapid decision making in the most clinically relevant situations to minimize the risks of a poor outcome. This book covers everything from common non-life-threatening emergencies such as hyperemesis in pregnancy, to life-threatening acute events such as ectopic pregnancy, acute fetal distress, or maternal collapse. Each topic is devoted to a different clinical problem or emergency. Key learning points aid trainees by distilling the essential information from the chapter. Each topic has an algorithm, a care pathway, or table of key information, suiting the learning needs of trainees. However, this is also an important resource of information for day to day practice as algorithms and care pathways have been created using current national guidelines and clinical evidence. Every algorithm and care pathway has been carefully structured to ensure a logical progression of thought to aid anticipation, early diagnosis, and prompt and appropriate management. Ethical, legal and social issues are also discussed where relevant. Book jacket.
