The first edition of The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology introduced a completely new paradigm for detecting bladder cancer by urine cytology. This system concentrated on defining morphological characteristics of the most clinically significant form of bladder cancer, High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma. This new approach has been widely accepted throughout the world, and has become part of the daily practice of cytology. Considering that the first edition of The Paris System (TPS) introduced a new model of urinary cytodiagnosis, verification and expansion of initial material and data were anticipated. Based on evolving knowledge and readership requests, the group of highly experience...
The previous edition of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology provided important updates and advances in the practice of thyroid cytopathology. It was inspired by new developments in the field of thyroid cytopathology since the publication of the first edition in 2010. These included revised clinical guidelines for the management of patients with thyroid nodules, the introduction of molecular testing as an adjunct to cytopathologic examination, and the reclassification of the non-invasive follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma as non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP). This new third edition provides updates to the c...
Internationally acclaimed biographies are almost always written by British or American biographers. But what is the state of the art of biography in other parts of the world? Introduced by Richard Holmes, the volume Different Lives offers a global perspective: seventeen scholars vividly describe the biographical tradition in their countries of interest. They show how biography functions as a public genre, featuring specific societal issues and opinion-making. Indeed, the volume aims to answer the question: how can biography contribute to a better understanding of differences between societies and cultures? Special attention is given to the US, China and the Netherlands. Other contributions a...
The most comprehensive resource of macroscopic images of human diseases With more than 1000 macroscopic images of common human diseases, Gross Morphology of Common Diseases is an indispensable resource for undergraduate medical students, pathology trainees and practising physicians. Each image is accompanied by a concise legend that outlines the most important clinical and pathological information, helping clinicians of all specializations to formulate differential diagnoses. These images are drawn from several institutions, including the vast collection of McGill’s Department of Pathology, a world leader in pathology education that sees more than 100,000 surgical cases each year. Disease entities are classified by organ system for easy reference.
New creative forms of life writing have emerged over the past four decades. Following in the footsteps of the “New Biographers,” who more than half a century earlier had trusted art and imagination to uncover some truth about a singular existence, some late-twentieth and twenty-first century novelists, playwrights and essayists staged the lives of writers they loved, wanted to vindicate, or whose influence they needed to acknowledge and ward off. In other cases, they turned to another sort of genealogy and, blurring the lines between biography and autobiography, told the story of their parents’ lives. This volume includes ten essays on American, British and Canadian writers’ biograph...
En dépit de l’intérêt marqué pour les textes autobiographiques depuis le début des années 1980, le journal intime continue de faire piètre figure, non seulement en tant qu’objet d’étude, mais aussi en tant que pratique littéraire. Cela n’est guère étonnant dans la mesure où le portrait du genre dressé par les théoriciens demeure, aujourd’hui encore, essentiellement négatif : genre sans forme, sans histoire et sans littérature... Il est ainsi un enfant mal-aimé des études littéraires et parfois des écrivains eux-mêmes. C’est en réponse à ce discours réducteur que cet ouvrage propose de revoir et de réévaluer un certain nombre de lieux communs sur le genre...
Symbole incontestable de la modernité québécoise, à la fois manifeste et recueil d’œuvres d’art, Refus global est entré dans la légende avec ses mythes, ses héros, ses martyrs. Comment a-t-il été reçu lors de sa parution en 1948? Et comment cette réception a-t-elle cheminé tout au long des décennies subséquentes, entre voies royales et routes secondaires, entre oubli et consécration, entre modes culturelles et tendances historiques? Dans ce récit au carrefour de la littérature, de l’histoire et de la sociologie, l’auteure cherche notamment à comprendre les phénomènes de réceptions partielles ou parallèles qui peuvent sauver de l’oubli certaines œuvres. Elle examine les facteurs qui influencent la construction de « l’autoroute de la mémoire culturelle » et confirme l’intérêt qu’il y a, parfois, à jeter un œil à ses angles morts. En déconstruisant le récit commun au fondement du mythe, et en désengorgeant le discours critique, cet ouvrage essentiel ouvre grand les pistes pour de nouvelles lectures de cette époque charnière de l’histoire du Québec.
« Les super-héros envahissent le Québec ! » Voilà ce qu’annonçait en lettres rouges la couverture du premier numéro de la bande dessinée The Valiant, la publication inaugurale des éditions Héros. Le genre superhéroïque est effectivement bien représenté dans la trentaine de librairies spécialisées en bande dessinée des grands centres urbains québécois et dans la plupart des succursales des chaînes de librairies généralistes. Il trône aussi dans les salons dédiés à la bande dessinée et à la culture populaire nord-américaine, comme les Comiccon, qui attirent des dizaines de milliers de visiteurs annuellement. Cependant, on connaît mal les conditions qui ont permi...
