Featured Book - Surgical Pathology of the Gastrointestinal System


This month's featured book from the Library's New Book list is Surgical Pathology of the Gastrointestinal System: Bacterial, Fungal, Viral, and Parasitic Infections by Dr. Laura W. Lamps, UAMS College of Medicine, Pathology Dept.

This book provides a unique diagnostic reference text for the pathological diagnosis of infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Written for the practicing surgical pathologist, this text combines the superior illustrations of an atlas with a carefully written prose to create a useful diagnostic companion. The text is divided into four sections covering bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections of the gastrointestinal tract. The descriptive sections of the each chapter are organized into short paragraphs for easy reference and include the use of tables to compare and contrast organisms and summarize differential diagnoses.
