Atlas Of Male Reproductive Pathology

This atlas deals with conditions commonly encountered in the male genital tract. Whilst the majority of illustra tions are photomicrographs, photographs of macro scopic specimens are also used to illustrate important features in distinguishing different pathological con ditions. Special emphasis is placed on the small biopsy specimens obtained from prostate and testis in modern urological practice and the importance of clinico pathological co-operation in pathological practice is stressed. Recent advances in our knowledge of testicu lar tumours are discussed and illustrated. The text is not entirely descriptive and attempts to give an intellectual framework around which histopathological diagnosis in this field can be practised. A modest number of references are included; they have not been singled out as representing milestones in the development of our knowledge of these conditions - the choice has rather more centred upon recent reports from which a litera ture search can be mounted if required. The atlas in no way pretends to be an encyclopaedic reference of con ditions of the male genital tract but attempts to provide an up-to-date comprehensive discussion of the histo pathology of this system. Acknowledgements I am most grateful to Mr Keith Gordon for developing all the photomicrographs and to Mr Geoff Gilbert and his staff in the Audio-Visual Department of the City Hospital who took the majority of the macroscopic illustrations. I must particularly thank my secretary, Mrs Dorothy Clay ton, for typing and retyping my draft chapters and for deciphering my hieroglyphics.

This latest volume in the Atlases in Diagnostic Surgical Pathology Series facilitates the identification of diseases of the male genitourinary tract. Lavishly illustrates a broad range of common and unusual conditions affecting the prostate, seminal vesicles, testes, penis, and scrotum. Also includes illustrations of complementary histochemical and immunohistochemical studies where appropriate.

Atlas on the Human Testis: Normal Morphology and Pathology presents histological illustrative material from paraffin and semi-thin sections of the human testis which are routinely used in the assessment of testicular morphology, allowing an early detection of carcinoma in situ and more advanced pathological changes of the testicular parenchyma. The early detection of cancer in situ is based on the careful morphological investigation of the biopsy and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Therefore, this atlas contains detailed descriptions of IHC methods as well as modern molecular biological methods such as DNA microarrays and proteomics and advanced microscopy techniques related to the testicular biopsy. Adequate evaluation of the testicular biopsy leads to high cure rates of testicular neoplasms which can be used as a basis to successfully treat infertility in men. Atlas on the Human Testis: Normal Morphology and Pathology is a valuable reference tool which will appeal to andrologists, urologists, pathologists, clinical embryologists, as well as reproductive biology scientists.

A full-color text and atlas of common and rare genitourinary conditions for practicing pathologists Atlas of Practical Genitourinary Pathology teaches the surgical pathologist how to accurately diagnose and effectively manage the full spectrum of common and rare genitourinary diseases. Completely current with the latest advances in the field, it is one of the first texts to address the new diagnostic markers for GU tumors and the increasing application of immunohistochemistry. Featuring chapters with easy-to-read headings such as Definitions, Clinical Features, Gross Pathology, and Histology, Atlas of Practical Genitourinary Pathology is logically divided into two parts: Male Reproductive Surgical Pathology and Urinary Tract Surgical Pathology. More than 1,500 full-color histology slides assist in fast sample recognition and the concise bulleted text provides the need-to-know data for proper diagnoses and treatment.

Over 600 illustrations provide authoritative visual guidance on a full range of pathologic disorders occurring in traditional doemstic animal species. Comprehensive coverage encompasses all aspects of the pathology of the male and female reproductive system diseases and includes abortion diseases, fetal malformations, and the interpretation of equine endometrial biospy specimens.

Reproductive performance is crucial to any livestock operation, and with the increasing focus on efficiency, it is imperative that any complications be dealt with early in the reproductive process. Full-color images accompanied by concise explanations and a detailed index constitute this atlas of reproductive pathology of male and female cows, pigs, horses, sheep, dogs, and cats. A Color Atlas of Veterinary Reproductive Pathology offers 603 full-color annotated macroscopic and microscopic plates showing reproductive diseases and conditions. Emphasis is placed on macroscopic views to encourage rapid diagnosis by veterinary students, clinicians, specialists, and technicians.
