Rosai and Ackerman's Surgical Pathology: 2-Volume Set

The 8th edition is suggested for initial purchase by Brandon/Hill. Rosai (National Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy and Weill Medical College of Cornell U., New York), with the help of contributing authors for five of the chapters, has carried out a monumental task in compiling a new edition of this textbook and reference (Ackerman passed away in 1993). After initial chapters discussing gross and special techniques, the subsequent 28 chapters are devoted to the specialities, including those for skin, oral cavity and oropharynx, mandible and maxilla, respiratory tract, mediastrinum, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissues, spleen, and ear. Each chapter includes color illustrations of gross and microscopic views and exhaustive bibliographies. Appendices contain current guidelines in quality control and methods for handling specimens, ADASP position papers, tumor staging, and standardized methods for reporting. All of the illustrations are presented in slide format on the included CD-ROMs.

Manual of Surgical Pathology

The first edition (2000) grew out of a procedure manual prepared at the Brigham and Women's Hospital--a collaborative effort involving the expertise of staff, residents, and assistants; the handbook has evolved at that institution over the years, and pathologist Susan Lester undertook preparation of this second edition. In her preface she specifies that the manual is intended as a guide rather than a prescription, because cases and procedures vary from institution to institution. Coverage includes step-by-step instruction for the gross examination and processing of pathology spcimens, check lists for each major tumor type, current recommended criteria for tumor grading, discussions of frozen section diagnosis, injury prevention, and basic microscopic techniques. Approximately 150 tables support the text.

Evidence-Based Practice of Anesthesiology

North American and European anesthesiologists address a number of specific questions about basing their practice on the medical literature that have not been covered adequately in traditional reviews and book chapters. For each question, they provide a background or introduction, outline the options for treatment, review the evidence, identify areas of uncertainty, outline available guidelines, and provide their own recommendations. The general areas they cover are preoperative preparation, perioperative management, regional anesthesia, monitoring, cardiovascular anesthesia, neurosurgical anesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, and pain. They write for novices and consultants in the field.
