Potters Atlas Of Fetal And Infant Pathology

Beautifully illustrated in full color, POTTER'S ATLAS OF FETAL AND INFANT PATHOLOGY addresses all aspects of pathology in the prenatal period and the first two years of life, including complicated pregnancies, spontaneous abortion, placental pathology, prenatal diagnosis of abnormalities, fetal/infant death, and all disorders affecting the full-term neonate. The atlas may be used as a complement to the major reference in the field, POTTER'S PATHOLOGY OF THE FETUS AND INFANT, or as a stand-alone book for the pathologist who requires only the most critical information. A concise, visual reference, the atlas contains over 1,000 color illustrations from the personal collections of leading pediatric pathologists. It's an essential resource for any pathologist who sees pediatric cases. Covers key aspects of fetal and infant pathology in a concise, efficient manner for general pathologists who see pediatric cases. Covers the entire field of fetal and infant pathology. Follows the organization of POTTER'S PATHOLOGY OF THE FETUS AND INFANT, so it may be used alone or as a color pictorial complement to the larger text. Includes over 1000 illustrations, most in color, to help pathologists make diagnoses based on visual clues.

This comprehensive reference addresses all aspects of fetal and neonatal pathology, including complicated pregnancies, multiple pregnancies, abortion, placental pathology, and disorders affecting the full-term neonate.

An Image Bank on CD-ROM - new to this edition - features all of the illustrations from the 2-volume set, downloadable for presentations. Offers comprehensive coverage of all common and rare embryonic, fetal, and infant disorders in one source. Correlates clinical, pathologic, and genetic findings for each systemic disease. Emphasizes the genetic and molecular basis of birth defects. Features nearly 2,500 illustrations - 2,350 in full color - which depict each abnormality or condition as they present in practice. Presents practical information on autopsy techniques and protocols. Provides the latest guidance on molecular pathology, immunohistochemistry, DNA technology, and more. Offers an expanded discussion of developmental biology related to the pathogenesis of birth defects. Features user-friendly summary tables and diagnostic flow charts, making information quick and easy to find. Includes a CD-ROM featuring all of the illustrations from the 2-volume set.

Coverage extends to surgical specimens as well as handling of placentas and autopsies. The atlas features approximately 900 high-quality images supported by concisely written text highlighting the salient diagnostic features as well as important staging and prognostic (including molecular) parameters. Features include: Comprehensive coverage of pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology. Each chapter is presented by a recognized expert. Practical presentation: concise text highlights diagnostic features making the atlas an outstanding resource for the practitioner. Illustrated throughout with approximately 900 full-color images.

This volume addresses all aspects of foetal and infant pathology from conception through the first year of life, including complicated pregnancies, abortion, placental pathology and disorders affecting the full-term infant. Normal growth and development are addressed first, followed by a thorough look at foetal and infant death and its causes. General problems affecting the foetus and infant are covered in separate chapters, followed by discussions of disorders affecting major organ systems. This edition retains an emphasis on clinicopathologic correlations and, molecular development and genetics are stressed, in keeping with their prominent role in the origin of birth defects and other abnormalities.

Over the past two decades, the remarkable advances in imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and fast or ultra-fast MRI, have led to the diagnosis of an increasing number of tumors at the prenatal stage. This revised, abundantly illustrated second edition of Tumors of the Fetus and Infant: An Atlas presents an up-to-date account of the clinical and pathological features of neoplastic disease and tumor-like conditions in the fetus, neonate, and infant and discusses major tumor studies and cases from throughout the world. The full range of tumors is covered, with each chapter reviewing the incidence, clinical findings, cytogenetics, pathology, radiology, treatment, and prognosis. The goal is to enable pathologists and clinicians to gain a clear understanding of these lesions so that a correct diagnosis can be achieved and appropriate treatment, initiated.

Pathologists have long recognized that pediatric autopsy requires great care in technique and dissection to ensure that easily overlooked malformations are recognized and accurate diagnoses are made. The highly experienced authors have created a new edition of Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology, a comprehensive reference guide to the actual performance of the pediatric autopsy and the optimal recognition and interpretation of pathologic findings. The Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology, Second Edition covers the spectrum of pediatric pathology with particular reference to those conditions that can be identified at autopsy. New and updated material includes microbiological studies, particularly with the advent of newly described micro-organisms causing disease. The volume also addresses new developments in metabolic diseases, new techniques of ultrasound imaging, and specialized laboratory testing. Furthermore, the book provides a wealth of practical information and bibliographic citations throughout, new copious illustrations and line drawings, numerous standard reference tables, and appendices at the end of multiple chapters. Authored by authorities in the field, Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology, Second Edition is a valuable resource that will assist general and pediatric pathologists, neonatologists, interns and residents in training, as well as specialists in cytogenetics and ultrasound technicians in understanding the manner and cause of death in its broadest and comprehensive sense.

Color Atlas of Fetal and Neonatal Histology serves as a comprehensive atlas of the developmental histology of the major organs from 15 weeks gestation to the neonatal period. Each section includes text on basic embryologic processes that influence the development of each organ and highlight major histologic features that correspond with certain developmental periods. In addition, there are many color photomicrographs at key developmental stages to assist the reader in identifying appropriate histologic changes at each developmental stage. This book will be of great value to students of embryology, pathology residents and fellows, and attending pathologists who perform fetal autopsies.
