Cellular Pathology Technique aims to maintain the twin objectives of producing a comprehensive bench book and a text for students that will take the Special Examination in Cellular Pathology of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Sciences. The organization of this fourth edition has been reshaped. Some sections were expanded such as those about the theory of staining, and new chapters were added dealing with immunolocalization, the endocrine system, and quantification. This book is organized into 10 parts. The introductory part provides basic information on cells and tissues and outlines the methodology in cellular pathology techniques. This is followed by chapters that deal with various aspects of cellular pathology including tissues, cells and cell products of special interests, electron microscopy, and immunocytochemistry. This book will be of interest to students of cellular pathology and those in the medical profession.

"a concise textbook of histological techniques for students studying courses in biomedical sciences or other subjects or other subjects allied to medicine. The book describes the complete range of techniques utilised in the diagnos od disease and in pathology research." -- Back cover.

Ultrastructural Pathology

In recent years cellular pathology has become more closely involved in the direct management of patients with the introduction of molecular technologies and targeted therapies. Advanced Techniques in Diagnostic Cellular Pathology introduces students and professionals to these concepts and the key technologies that are influencing clinical practice today. Each chapter is carefully structured to introduce the very latest techniques and describe their clinical purpose, principle, method and application in cellular pathology. The advantages of various methods for preparing, observing and demonstrating cells and tissues employed to assist in diagnosis are explored, in addition to the use of quantitative methods in the detection and diagnosis of disease. Supplementary web-based material including annotated virtual microscope slides is available with the book. This is provided courtesy of i-Path Diagnostics Ltd and can be accessed online from their website www.pathxl.com Describes the very latest, emerging and established molecular aspects of diagnostic pathology. A clear, focused approach with each chapter containing a summary, a review of basic principles and clinical applications. Includes web-based annotated virtual microscope slides. Contributions from experienced practitioners contain numerous real-world examples illustrating the use of different diagnostic techniques, and their clinical relevance Written by a team of experienced practitioners this book will prove invaluable both to postgraduate biomedical science students who are training to be cellular pathologists and to professionals working in diagnostic and research laboratories as part of their continuing professional development.

The latest edition of this highly successful text, covers the major advances in the methods used in cellular and molecular pathology. In recent years, knowledge of the molecular organization of the cell has led to the development of powerful new techniques that bring greater accuracy and objectives to the diagnosis, prognosis and management of many diseases and to the study of pathological states. This book describes the latest molecular techniques available for the analysis of diseases. In particular it includes new techniques using fluorescent dyes, DNA microarrays, protein chemistry, and mass spectrometry. It also incorporates information from the Human Genome Project, and the new disciplines of genomics and proteomics, where relevant to pathology. Color plates are a new feature of this edition, illustrating the advances in fluorescence labeling of cells.
