Color Atlas Of Nerve Biopsy Pathology

As a professional working in the frontlines of tissue diagnosis and in everyday practice, you need a reference that gives you practical information in an easy-to-use format. Containing over 300 photographs, micrographs, and line drawings, including over 60 color illustrations, Color Atlas of Nerve Biopsy Pathology supplies a clear picture of common

'An Atlas of Peripheral Nerve Pathology' provides detailed, practical guidance on the interpretation and understanding of specimens of peripheral nerves taken at biopsy and autopsy. Beginning with a brief review of normal structural features and the process of axonal degeneration and regeneration, demyelination and remyelination, this volume covers the full range of peripheral nerve disorders, illustrating the pathology at light and ultrastructural levels. Based on an archive of nearly 1800 specimens amassed over the past 34 years, the content is organised according to the different structural components of the peripheral nerve trunk.

This color atlas provides outstanding coverage of anatomic pathology that is relevant to practicing general pathologists and residents. Each chapter presents a detailed discussion of anatomic pathology illustrated with color photomicrographs. This book is of significant educational value for any physician interested in a visual overview of the pathologic processes of disease. * Includes over 1,400 color photo examples of diseases commonly encountered in practice * Features unique photos to aid pathologists in studying and identifying disease conditions * Allows ready access to information through user-friendly format pairing text with photos on facing pages * Allows reader to review topics and scan chapter content in chapter outlines * Provides related reading references for each chapter

This atlas illustrates pathological changes of peripheral nerves covering experimental and human, light and electron microscopic, immunohistochemical, morphometric and moleculargenetic aspects. Basic general pathologic reactions are shown as well as characteristic alterations in a large number of specific diseases affecting the peripheral nervous system (PNS) primarily or secondarily. The 1050 illustrations are of diagnostic significance for those studying peripheral nerves at the miscroscopic or ultrastructural level, and for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurobiologists, and electrophysiologists trying to understand the underlying structural changes causing the clinical signs and symptoms of a variety of diseases and disorders.

This new, full-color resource is the only book to document the full range of normal cytologic findings encountered in all body areas. It covers both exfoliative and fine- needle aspiration cytology with an emphasis on standard (Papanicolaou and Diff-Quik) stains. Over 1,140 outstanding full-color images vividly display the complete spectrum of normal samples at a variety of magnifications.
