Beskrivning

The nervous system constitutes arguably the most complex organ system in the human body, which contributes to the over-susceptibility of disease in this area. Although brain tumors were once an automatic death sentence, the outlook for recovery has brightened significantly in the past decade. The pathologist plays an indispensable role in surgical diagnosis; he or she must accurately diagnose a potentially wide array of disease entities, determine the spread of disease within millimeters, and assess patient prognosis. This new and modern reference in neuropathology comprehensively covers all the methods used by pathologists to accurately diagnose a wide array of neurologic illnesses. Brain and spinal cord tumors are the predominant focus, but a full spectrum of infectious, inflammatory, and congenital disorders are also covered in detail, in both pediatric and adult populations, with a full range of diagnostic modalities. The book is illustrated with more than 1,200 full-color photomicrographs and accompanied by a CD-ROM of all images in a downloadable format.

He is a graduate of Williams College (BA with highest honors in Biology, 1974) and the University of Miami School of Medicine (MD, 1978; Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics, 1980). Dr Miller did his residency training in Anatomic Pathology and in Neuropathology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He has been an Assistant Professor of Pathology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (1984–87), an Assistant, Associate, and then full Professor at NYU School of Medicine (1987–2007) and is now at the University of Missouri School of Medicine.

Recensioner i media

'… has an admirable breadth of scope and approach to surgical neuropathology … the references provided are helpful and up to date. The CD ROM accompanying the book is a very useful source of images for further study and for teaching purposes … well-produced … particularly successful in including sections on the diagnosis of non-neoplastic disorders, including inflammatory disorders, demyelinating diseases and dementia. These topics are amongst the most challenging in neuropathological biopsy diagnosis, so their inclusion is particularly welcome.' BMA Medical Book Awards reviewer
