Pathology For Surgeons In Training 3ed

Previous editions of this book have proved indispensable for trainee surgeons preparing for the MRCS and AFRCS examinations. This extensively revised new edition is presented in a compelling new style and in a larger format. Beginning with a 'route-map' showing 'how to use this book', the text offers concise accounts of the core topics in pathology required of surgeons in training. There is particular emphasis on tissue pathology but full account is taken of relevant aspects of microbiology, haematology, immunology and clinical chemistry. Tables of normal laboratory values are included. Each major disorder is examined from the point of view of Cause, Structure, and Behaviour. Genetics, molecular biology and imaging receive balanced attention as do transfusion, telepathology and audit. The use of computers is outlined and suggestions given on access to Internet sources for learning purposes. The needs of trainees in countries outside Europe have been considered carefully. Illustrations have been selected to provide a clear, pictorial account of complex points. The inclusion of biographies of surgical pioneers adds interest and enables candidates to put their knowledge into context. A special feature is a series of marginal 'signposts' in the form 'Now Read' that take candidates to interrelated topics quickly and easily. There is extensive cross-referencing and a comprehensive index.

With no frills or extraneous material, this goes straight to the essential facts which the trainee surgeon needs in order to succeed in the basic surgical training element of postgraduate surgical training.

This book provides a practical and clinically oriented guide to the concepts of pathologic diagnosis of surgical specimens. Concise and highly illustrated chapters cover essential information required within patient management. Telepathology, ancillary techniques, and surgical oncology concepts are also examined. Surgical Pathology: A Practical Guide aims to bridge the knowledge gap between surgeons and pathologists to promote mutual understanding and a better working relationship. This book is relevant to general surgeons, and surgical oncologists, whether in training or in practice. It also serves as an introduction for first-year pathology residents, and medical students interested in surgical pathology.

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It has been written to encompass the basic anatomy, physiology and pathology required by the syllabus of the UK Royal Colleges and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Project. For this Second Edition many of the chapters have been updated, especially the chapters on immunology, basic microbiology, the endocrine and locomotor systems and the breast. An attempt has been made throughout to indicate the clinical relevance of the facts and the reason for learning them. There are several new contributors to the author team, all of whom are experts in their field and many of them are, or have been, experienced examiners at the various UK Royal Colleges. Brings together three basic sciences in one book and presents them in an integrated format. Presents the sciences at the right level for surgical trainees. Written in a straightforward and readable style. Thoroughly revised to take account of latest changes in basic surgical training, especially the chapters on immunology, basic microbiology, the endocrine and locomotor systems and the breast

A small book covering the basic principles of pathology for FRCS candidates. A sound understanding of pathology is crucial to a safe and effective surgical practice: the Courts of Examiners of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons recognise the importance of surgical pathology in clinical practice and as a consequence a basic understanding of general pathology will be examined both at Basic Surgical Training level in the MRCS examination and at Higher Surgical Training level in the Intercollegiate FRCS. This 'Synopsis of General Pathology for Surgeons' is precisely that: a concise review of general pathology presenting the topic by disease processes.Information is presented in a point-by-point fashion, with no wasted words. Selected references and illustrations help the reader's understanding. Aimed at the surgical trainee, this book will be especially useful for revision and to act as a daily aide-memoire in clinical practice.
