Produktbeschreibung
Peripheral nerve analysis is a challenging task for pathologists, given the advent of new diagnoses and techniques of analysis and the impact of molecular genetics. This book presents a simple, logical method for constructing a differential diagnosis based on pathology and clinical presentation. It also provides advice on the selection of ancillary molecular, immunohistochemical and genetic techniques to establish a definitive diagnosis. Clear, authoritative guidance is offered on diagnosis of the full range of neuropathies with the aid of a wealth of high-quality color photomicrographs and electron micrographs. The pathologist will benefit greatly from the identification of a variety of artifacts and normal structures occasionally encountered in nerve biopsies that need to be distinguished from specific pathologic alterations. This user-friendly, practical text will be an invaluable aid in achieving the most specific diagnosis possible.

Rezensionen
From the book reviews:

"This book presents a simple, logical method for constructing a differential diagnosis of peripheral nerve disease based on pathology and clinical presentation. ... The intended audience is pathologists, neurologists, and neuroscientists in training, but the book is also appropriate for pathology residents and neuropathology fellows, as well as neuroscientists. ... This user-friendly, practical book will be an invaluable aid in achieving the most specific diagnosis possible." (Arlette Habashi, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015)
