Human Histology is designed to help you learn more easily. Superb color photographs of macroscopic specimens and stained human tissues illustrate gross and microscopic detail. Color diagrams, many in 3D, display complex tissues and help you understand structure and function of cells, tissues and organs. Practical histology sections are highlighted in green to show you what to look for in lab microscopy sessions. Clinical sections are highlighted in blue and illustrate how changes in tissue structure and function underlie human disease processes. Advanced concepts provide you with more in-depth knowledge, recent research, and molecular structure of cells and tissues. Key facts boxes provide you with a continuous method to check retention of key facts, both during the course and prior to exams. Chapter-end review questions test your comprehension of the topic in an exam-style format.

Development and Implications of Antimicrobial Resistance One of the most ominous trends in the field of antimicrobial chemotherapy over the past decade has been the increasing pace of development of antimicrobial resistance among microbial pathogens. The hypothesis that man can discover a magic bullet to always cure a particular infection has proved false. Physicians are now seeing and treating patients for which there are few therapeutic alternatives, and in some cases, none at all. Until recently there was little concern that physicians might be losing the war in our ability to compete with the evolving resistance patterns of microbial pathogens. Now the general public is very aware of the...
Although most textbooks of neurology contain a certain amount of pathological informa tion, neuropathology has often been treated in isolation. However, neuropathology has a close relationship to clinical neurology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology. Thus, advances in the rapidity and accuracy of pathological diagnosis have often led to changes in clinical management and, recently, improvements in clinical diagnosis, particularly CT scanning, have brought about a change in emphasis in the practice of neuropathology. In this textbook we have sought to present a widely based account of neuropathology in combination with information from clinical experience. We chose this approach in order to emp...
Diet and Health examines the many complex issues concerning diet and its role in increasing or decreasing the risk of chronic disease. It proposes dietary recommendations for reducing the risk of the major diseases and causes of death today: atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (including heart attack and stroke), cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, and dental caries.
