Practical Pulmonary Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach

The first chapter is a visual index to diagnosis: charts identifying a general pattern (e.g. acute lung injury, fibrosis, chronic cellular infiltrates, alveolar filling, nodules, near normal biopsy), images of tissue sections, listings of diseases to be considered and of additional findings and diagnostic considerations—all keyed to relevant chapters and pages where the text will offer explication. Following are 20 chapters beginning with lung anatomy and continuing with optimal processing of lung specimens, basic pulmonary radiology, developmental and pediatric lung disease, and various carcinomas, tumors, lesions, and conditions. A section of miscellaneous distinctive histopathologic findings is appended. Editors Leslie (Mayo Clinic Scottsdale) and Wick (U. of Virginia Medical Center) have shaped work from 26 contributors.

COMPLICATIONS IN CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY: AVOIDANCE AND TRATMENT

It is the practical experience gained in the operating room and on the wards dealing with complications and deviations from the typical or average scenario that matures and fully develops a surgeon. The typical textbook demonstrates the “right” or standard way to do things and the implicit assumption is that if these guidelines are followed then the patient and the surgeon’s life will be complication free. Good results come from experience and experience is gained by making mistakes. The goal of this book is to minimize the frequency of surgical complications and maximize the outcome when they do occur by allowing the reader to learn from the operative and clinical experience of those who have gone before so that each generation can collectively stand on the shoulders of the preceding generation without the need to learn from one’s own complications.
