9781907904356: Cellular Pathology: An Introduction to Techniques and Applications

Synopsis

This third edition of the popular Cellular Pathology textbook provides a thorough coverage of all the key areas of histological and cytological techniques. It is written for students studying courses in biomedical sciences, healthcare science or other subjects allied to medicine. The book provides essential information on those techniques that have particular relevance to both the diagnosis of disease and also for research in pathology.<br/> This new edition has been thoroughly updated and extended to:<br/> * include changes in established practice<br/> * accommodate newly emerging techniques such as in molecular diagnostics<br/> * provide an introduction to the latest immunological methods, microscopy techniques, image analysis systems and approaches in liquid-based cytology<br/> * show all images in full colour. <br/> Additionally, the general principles of pathology are given a more rigorous treatment and the approach to good laboratory practice has been expanded. <br/> This edition continues to feature learning objectives, revision notes, recommended further reading and self-evaluation questions provided for each chapter. The book further benefits from an increased number of photographs that illustrate typical results and techniques - all in full colour. <br/> Cellular Pathology 3rd edition reflects the current requirements of cellular pathology teaching and practice and provides essential reading on any course that relates to cellular pathology, histology and histopathology.<br/>

Contents

1 The study of tissues and their diseases<br/> 2 General pathology<br/> 3 Fixation and fixatives<br/> 4 Processing and microtomy<br/> 5 Other embedding techniques<br/> 6 Cryotechniques<br/> 7 Staining theory<br/> 8 Histochemistry: general considerations and the histochemistry of carbohydrates and lipids<br/> 9 Histochemistry of nucleic acids, proteins and enzymes<br/> 10 Histochemistry of pigments, neuroendocrine amines and minerals<br/> 11 Infective agents and amyloid<br/> 12 Immunological techniques<br/> 13 Gynaecological cytopathology<br/> 14 Non-gynaecological cytopathology<br/> 15 Cytogenetics<br/> 16 Molecular biology and autoradiography<br/> 17 Light microscopy<br/> 18 Digital microscopy<br/> 19 Electron microscopy<br/> 20 Some aspects of the organization of histology laboratories
