Diagnostic
Ultrastructural Pathology:
A Self-Evaluation and Self-Teaching Manual
Feroze N. Ghadially
Published by: Butterworth-Heinemann,
Boston
2nd edition, 1998 - US
$35.00 / £19.99 |
This practical book has been out of print
for almost a decade. The new edition remains faithful to the
principles of the initial work, an excellent resource for teaching
and self-leaning diagnostic electron microscopy, but is about
50 percent larger. An appendix has also been added with line
drawings that aid in understanding some of the more difficult
to understand topics in the book. As Professor J.M. Nesland states
in a review in Ultrastructural Pathology, "This book is
especially easy to read and can be highly recommended for young
residents and people subspecializing in diagnostic EM.". |

Book Review by Ivan Damjanov:
Modern Pathology, March 1998, Vol. 11, page 305
About this tome, Dr. Damjanov says in
part: "His book remains essential reading for all those
entering the field, but it is also indispensable to all those
who use electron micrsocopy for either research or diagnosis.
I should add also that for those who use electron microscopy
for teaching, it is still one of the best ways to teach students
to see through the ordinary light microscope."
The latter truism does not receive enough
attention from surgical pathologists. |
ORGANELLES IN TUMOR
DIAGNOSIS: An Ultrastructural Atlas

Designed for daily use at
the microscope, this book is a new, practical atlas that will
enable pathologists to accurately identify diagnostic cell structures
and tumors through the use of electron microscopy. The atlas
has been especially designed to demonstrate to the pathologist
how electron microscopy can be used as a tool for reporting accurate
descriptions and interpretations of tumors. This is accomplished
using 300 carefully selected micrographs of diagnostically important
tumor cell organelles and detailed but concise descriptive text
that clearly describes tumor cell organelles to aid the pathologist
in identifying them as distinctive cell structures

DIAGNOSTIC TRANSMISSION
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF TUMORS with Clinicopathological, Immunohistochemical,
and Cytogenetic Correlations
Robert A. Erlandson, PhD

and Associate Professor of Pathology, Cornell University Medical
College |
This text book is a compendium
on the subject that presents pathologists and scientists with
concise, up-to-date information about the ultrastructure of human
tumors. It is based on the examination of over 6,500 human tumors
over many years and a critical review of the literature. It is
the current standard for diagnostic electron microscopy in the
field of human tumor pathology.

PATHOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS
DISEASES
Claire M. Payne, PhD
Research Professor, Department
of Microbiology/Immunology, College of Medicine, University of
Arizona, Tucson, Arizona
Authored Chapter 2 (volume
1) entitled "Electron Microscopy in the Diagnosis
of Infectious Diseases"
Editors: Connor DH, Chandler
FW et al.,
Published by: Appleton & Lange, Stamford, CT., 1997.
This chapter provides an overview of the instances in which EM
is most helpful in the specific diagnosis of infectious diseases.
An understanding of the ultrastructural and diagnostic features
of certain viruses, bacteria, fungi, and |
protozoa, and their clinical
settings, can have a significant impact on patient care. EM is
the best catchall technique that does not rely on any a priori
suspicions of the possible etiologic agent. In addition to a
diagnostic role, transmission EM may be valuable for proper therapy
and prognosis and in avoiding additional and unnecessary invasive
procedures for clinical workup, especially in neonates.
The following organisms are
discussed in detail:
1) Viruses: herpesviruses, adenovirus, papovavirus, poxvirus,
viral agents of gastroenteritis, HIV
2) Parasites of the Subkingdom Protozoa: Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidia,
Cyclospora, Leishmania, Giardia, Microsporidia
3) Parasites of Uncertain Taxonomy: Pneumocystis carinii
4) Bacterial Infections: Instances in which EM is helpful: Demonstration
of Capsules using Ultrastructural Cytochemistry (certain Bacteroides
species), Epidemic Outbreaks of Unknown Cause (Legionella pneumophila),
following the therapy for Whipple's Disease |

COLOR/TEXT ATLAS
OF SALIVARY GLAND PATHOLOGY
Irving Dardick, MD
Professor of Pathology and
Otolaryngology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario
Distributed by: Williams &
Wilkins, 351 West Camden Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201-2436 |
The scope of this book is
limited to the histological diagnosis of salivary gland tumors.
The main goals are to detail diagnostic criteria for the various
benign and malignant tumors and to provide appropriate and comprehensive
illustrations (661 photographs of which 600 are in full color)
to assist pathologists in categorizing salivary gland tumors.

Chapter 31: Ewings Sarcoma
Family of Tumors: Ewings Sarcoma of Bone and Soft Tissue and
the Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors
ME Horowitz, MW Malawer, SY Woo, MJ Hicks
This chapter on Ewings Sarcoma
family of tumors reviews the epidemiology, molecular features,
biology, histopathology, immunocytochemistry, ultrastructure,
treatment and prognosis. This tumor family ranges from the classic
typical Ewings Sarcoma to the peripheral primitive neuroectodermal
tumors. It also discusses a relatively new entity, Biphenotypic
Sarcoma, which shares features of Ewings sarcoma and rhabdomyoblastoma
while expressing molecular markers characteristic for Ewings
sarcoma family of tumors. |
