Dail and Hammar's Pulmonary Pathology


Book Description

The exponential increase in knowledge in all branches Pulmonary Pathology, written by multiple authors of science, including pathology, has resulted in an ava working in their respective areas of interest, is intended lanche of scientific literature which is now too extensive to provide the reader with up-to-date information. In for most people to digest. This certainly applies to the the years ahead, new lung diseases will be discovered, field of pulmonary pathology. One has only to reflect some of which may still be confused with classical dis on the better understanding of many disease processes eases of great antiquity. For example, during the 1970s, and the description of many new diseases in the lung Legionella pneumonia has been separated from pneu in the last 40 years to appreciate these changes. For mococcal lobar pneumonia, with which it was almost this reason alone, a summary of the present knowledge certainly confused in the past. Although some of the conditions discussed in this is both essential and timely. Pathology is undergoing a metamorphosis, with new book are uncommon or even rare, ignorance of these diagnostic methods employing antibodies and other rare diseases is no longer acceptable.

Until recently, these new techniques have have knowledge of ongoing advances in their field.

Paediatric Pathology


Book Description

The increased provision of facilities for neonatal and paediatric care in the last 25 years has been accompanied only in part by appropriate developments in pathology. Specialist pathologists are many fewer than paediatric departments, and details of the advances in knowledge of the pathogenesis of diseases in childhood and of ways of investigating them are not uniformly available. In many institutions an individual with a special interest rather than a special training will be responsible for paediatric pathology and it is to this group of histopathologists that this text is addressed. For this reason it is not written as a comprehensive text and is not intended for use as a reference volume. Areas which may produce particular difficulties for the individual with little specialist knowledge of the very young (e. g. , the lung) are dealt with in more detail and, in general, entities in which the histopathology does not differ greatly from that of the adult disease are considered briefly. A brief account of developmental processes is included where prenatal considerations are helpful in understanding a particular entity. A number of specialist topics which are known to trouble those who work in nonspecialist departments are described fully (diseases of muscle) or with guides to investigation (metabolic disease). The value of investigation and careful description of abnormalities of development is also emphasized. The authors are from different backgrounds, paediatric pathologists (J. W. Keeling, J.
