Immunofixation electrophoresis is the process of separating proteins in the blood (serum) or urine using an electric current to move them across a thin layer of gel. It is used to identify the presence or absence of abnormal proteins and to detect, diagnose and monitor the course and treatment of conditions associated with these proteins, including multiple myeloma and other related diseases. (Lab Test Online UK). This manual guides practitioners through the technique and interpretation of immunofixation electrophoresis. Beginning with an introduction, the book provides a step by step description of the techniques, instruments, electrophoresis patterns and their interpretation, stains used, and diseases that may be diagnosed with this process. More than 200 full colour images and illustrations enhance learning. Key points * Step by step guide to immunofixation electrophoresis * Describes different methods and their interpretation * Covers diseases that may be diagnosed using electrophoresis, including multiple myeloma * Includes more than 200 full colour images and illustrationsshow more

Essentials of Surgical Pediatric Pathology is a clear and practical yet comprehensive guide for trainee pediatric pathologists and non-pediatric pathologists. Each chapter corresponds to one of the main subspecialties, such as dermatopathology, head and neck pathology, and system pathology. Practical guidance is given on handling pediatric specimens and the authors highlight the ways in which common conditions present differently in adults and children. Other chapters cover conditions typical of childhood, including soft tissue tumors and blue round cell tumors. The chapters begin with a brief clinical presentation, followed by a clear macroscopical and histological description of the principal pathologies seen in children. Up-to-date genetic and immunohistochemical information is provided, and the book includes hundreds of high-quality color images. Written and edited by leading international experts in the field, this is an essential resource for trainee pediatric pathologists, as well as general pathologists who may encounter pediatric cases.

"Atlas of Pathologic lesions by Endoscopic Ultrasonography(EUS)" is a dedicated text to learn pathologic images seen during EUS. The digital anatomy correlation used in this work is the natural continuation of efforts to apply the University of Colorado Visible Human data set to gastroenterology. The Visible Human data set was created by Dr. Vic Spitzer and colleagues at the University of Colorado and is currently housed at the university's Center for Human Simulation. The data set consists of high resolution transaxial digital images captured as cadavers were abraded away at 1 mm or less depths. These images are compiled into blocks of data and each structure is identified. This information can be used to pull out and manipulate 3-D structures as well as allowing one to review planar anatomy in any orientation. Using the Visible Human dataset, one should be able to find a normal anatomy correlate to any image found during a EUS examination. However, as important as normal anatomy is, it is the abnormal features which are the crux of an EUS examination. Endosonographers are asked to define lumps, bumps, cysts to find correlates for symptoms and abnormal laboratory findings. Accuracy requires a tremendous amount of skill and experience. To help in this task, we have assembled chapters from a world-wide group of expert endosonographers. These authors have shared their insight and images to help the readers of this work better see and understand some of the complexities uncovered during a EUS evaluation.

This book is a practical guide to assist students with preparation for pathology examinations. Divided into three sections, the text begins with discussion on general pathology covering cellular responses to injury, wound healing, inflammation, genetic disorders and more. The second section discusses blood cells and clinical pathology, and section three covers systemic pathology including disorders of the heart, lung, pancreas, kidney, endocrine system, skin and much more. The third edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide students with the latest information in the field. Many new topics and illustrations are new to this edition. Keywords are highlighted throughout the text and numerous photographs, diagrams and tables further enhance the book. Also included is an extensive bibliography as well as three appendices detailing key pathologies and cells, and laboratory values.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a popular and effective technique for quick tissue diagnosis. Beginning with an introduction to the technique of FNAC, this book provides a concise, logical and systemic approach to the diagnosis of lesions that may occur in different parts of the body. The author discusses the various diagnostic difficulties and problems with the interpretation of FNAC. Emphasis is placed on cytomorphology (the structure of body cells), but immunocytochemistry (a microscopic method that uses antibodies to localise proteins in tissue sections and cell cutures), and other ancillary techniques, are also discussed. The text is accompanied by numerous high quality coloured figures of individual lesions with detailed descriptions.show more

Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate superficial lumps or masses. This procedure is widely used in the diagnosis of cancer and inflammatory conditions. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology: Interpretation and Diagnostic Difficulties is organised into 21 chapters covering the full spectrum of fine needle aspiration cytology, organ by organ, from head, neck and orbital to skin, bone and the central nervous system. This book provides comprehensive, current information on the principles and techniques of fine needle aspiration cytology, enhanced by 829 full colour images and illustrations, tables and message boxes. Illustrations of neoplastic lesions are accompanied by discussion on the use of fine needle aspiration technique in the investigation of nodules and masses suspected to be of neoplastic origin. This second edition has 8 new chapters, providing updated information on the use of FNAC for pancreas, gall bladder, soft tissue lesions, and skin and bone with a large number of new microphotographs, making Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology: Interpretation and Diagnostic Difficulties one of the most current guides to this technique.
