Description

Churchill's A-Z of Pathology serves as a glossary of terms used in the modern histopathology laboratory (including both diseases and the techniques used to investigate them.) The text relates pathology to tissues, cells or diseases. It provides enough detail to enable anyone reading a histology report to understand it fully, and relate the findings to the patient's diagnosis and treatment. Presented in the popular 'Churchill's Pocketbook' format, it is ideal for quick reference and revision. Much information is presented in tabular format for quick reference, including ? normal data for common haematological/biochemical parameters ? basic information on virus and bacteria classification ? important laboratory health and safety information Plus full lists of the syndromes, diseases and common abbreviations used in the book. Features: * Pocketbook format makes the book portable and easy to refer to quickly * Concise, clinically relevant text will appeal to a broad market, not just pathologists * Relates pathology to tissues, cells and diseases and helps to place pathology in its wider medical context * Ideal quick reference for medical students doing final pathology exams and junior doctors on the wards who need to quickly interpret histopathology reports * Useful as an aide memoir for practising MLSOs * Much data pis resented in tabular and list form for quick reference
