Peripheral nerve analysis is a challenging task for pathologists, given the advent of new diagnoses and techniques of analysis and the impact of molecular genetics. This book presents a simple, logical method for constructing a differential diagnosis based on pathology and clinical presentation. It also provides advice on the selection of ancillary molecular, immunohistochemical and genetic techniques to establish a definitive diagnosis. Clear, authoritative guidance is offered on diagnosis of the full range of neuropathies with the aid of a wealth of high quality color photomicrographs and electron micrographs. Pathologists will benefit greatly from the identification of a variety of artifacts and normal structures occasionally encountered in nerve biopsies that need to be distinguished from specific pathologic alterations. This user friendly, practical text will be an invaluable aid in achieving the most specific diagnosis possible.

For more than 45 years, Muscle Biopsy: A Practical Approach has offered comprehensive, clinically focused coverage of the acquisition, interpretation and assessment of muscle biopsies - an area often only lightly covered in pathology texts. Taking an integrated approach that includes clinical, genetic, biochemical and pathological features, the 5th Edition covers the full range of muscle disease in both adults and children. This highly illustrated, easy to use volume helps you navigate this challenging area, bridging the gap between clinical syndromes / disorders and their underlying pathologies.

Series: Innovative Pathology Press Survival Guide
In their Survival Guide to Bone Marrow Pathology, Dennis O’Malley and Daniel Cherry provide an approachable text to gain an understanding of both normal and abnormal findings in the bone marrow. Bone marrow pathology can seem daunting at times, with many lineages, stages of maturation and subclassifications of diseases to keep track of. In this text, O’Malley and Cherry provide you with the tools to advance your skills from the basics to more complicated. Besides the facts, they clarify difficult issues, address differential diagnosis and when necessary address the underlying biology. Both authors have extensive experience in bone marrow pathology, and besides publishing on bone marrow topics, have seen thousands of diagnostic cases.

Professionalism in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine provides a basic understanding of
how ethics and professionalism impact pathology and laboratory medicine. Approaches
and guidance to educational and assessment tools, including more than 100 case
vignettes to guide discussion, are included. The book also discusses professionalism in the context of research, pathologist well-being and burnout, legal aspects, diversity, organizational leadership, and patient safety and quality of care. Lapses in ethical and professional behavior as well as recommendations on future directions for research and education in professionalism also are addressed.

Drawing its material from proficiency testing surveys conducted by the CAP’s
Hematology and Clinical Microscopy Resource Committee, this reference presents
cases in increasing order of complexity to represent a comprehensive array of
hemoglobin disorders. The 45 “wet” cases are presented as a series of learning
exercises. Each includes a case history and the alkaline and acid electrophoresis gels,
identification of the case and survey participant performance, selected peripheral
blood smears and a discussion of the case, complete with references. The 24 “dry lab”
challenges - those cases in which a sufficient volume of blood or a specimen could
not be obtained - consist of a series of diagrams that illustrate the electrophoretic
findings of a case.

Surgical Pathology Review prepares the pathologist for the successful completion of certification examinations. Organized by organ system and specific lesions found, the focus of the text is nonmorphologic, hard-to-remember facts associated with each lesion: a catalogue of associations considered requisite knowledge for the fully trained pathologist. The prototypical morphologic features of each lesion are briefly described, with accompanying high-quality images of the uncommonly encountered ones. Details relevant to surgical pathology and cytopathology are reviewed.
