Basic Concepts in Molecular Medicine
By
William Coleman
2010

foundations of molecular medicine. These chapters are followed by a series of
chapters that provide overviews of molecular medicine as applied broadly to
neoplastic, genetic, and infectious diseases, as well as a chapter on molecular
diagnostics (how we harness diagnostic clues to guide treatment). The volume

Dallenbach-Hellwag:
Histopathology of the Endometrium
By Gisela
Dallenbach-Hellwag
2010 (3rd
ed), 359 pages, 149 illus, $169 list
The prime purpose of this atlas is to help the pathologist find,
classify and differentially diagnose the changes he is observing. Information
on the daily changes during the menstrual cycle and how to date them is
essential for recognizing changes caused by abnormal endogenic and iatrogenic
hormonal stimuli in functional endometrial disturbances. To provide their
patients with the proper hormonal therapy, gynecologists cannot rely on blood
samples only because of the constantly fluctuating hormonal levels. A precise
functional diagnosis of the endometrial biopsy is the most accurate and best
means for assessing hormonal action. Numerous microphotographs explain in
detail how to recognize the normal and pathological changes that can develop in
the endometrium. The subject of endometritis and the complex endometrial
neoplasms and their precursors, with their differential diagnosis as well as
their clinical prognosis are covered in detail. To complete the endometrial
histopathology, gestational changes are reviewed and illustrated in the last
chapter.

Diagnostic Pediatric Surgical Pathology
By Neil Sebire
2009 (1st ed), 848 pages, 1557 illus, $289 list
There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological
features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific
pathologies. In addition, several texts present aspects of developmental, fetal

a significant pediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practicing
general surgical pathologist faced with reporting pediatric surgical specimens,
although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting
childhood is available in the former texts, such information requires searching
of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to present
a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or
at least most, pediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to
allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practicing histopathologists.

Histopathology of the Endometrium
By Gisela
Dallenbach-Hellwag
2010 (3rd
ed), 359 pages, 149 illus, $169 list
The prime purpose of this atlas is to help the pathologist find,
classify and differentially diagnose the changes he is observing. Information
on the daily changes during the menstrual cycle and how to date them is
essential for recognizing changes caused by abnormal endogenic and iatrogenic
hormonal stimuli in functional endometrial disturbances. To provide their
patients with the proper hormonal therapy, gynecologists cannot rely on blood
samples only because of the constantly fluctuating hormonal levels. A precise
functional diagnosis of the endometrial biopsy is the most accurate and best
means for assessing hormonal action. Numerous microphotographs explain in detail
how to recognize the normal and pathological changes that can develop in the
endometrium. The subject of endometritis and the complex endometrial neoplasms
and their precursors, with their differential diagnosis as well as their
clinical prognosis are covered in detail. To complete the endometrial
histopathology, gestational changes are reviewed and illustrated in the last
chapter.
