The second edition of Biopsy Diagnosis of Peripheral Neuropathy by Drs. Juan M. Bilbao and Robert E. Schmidt is set to come out on August 31, 2014. The is from the book's description from amazon.com:
"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"
The first edition, also co-authored by Bilbao, was released back in 1995. Given the advent of new diagnoses and techniques of analysis and the impact of molecular genetics, there is without doubt a dire need for this book, which is authored by well-established authorities in the field.
Thanks to the inimitable Dr. Mark Cohen for alerting me to the imminent release of this text.
I discuss issues pertaining to the practice of neuropathology -- including nervous system tumors, neuroanatomy, neurodegenerative disease, muscle and nerve disorders, ophthalmologic pathology, neuro trivia, neuropathology gossip, job listings and anything else that might be of interest to a blue-collar neuropathologist.
