Manual of Pathologic Grossing: A Deliberative Approach
by Ashley IllingworthThis textbook is a step-by-step, at the bench, real-world approach to grossing a wide variety of surgical cases. Each figure is produced directly from the bench during the grossing process with the associated dictation. These specimens contain the imperfections of real-life cases with ample illustrations drawn by renown medical illustrationist Kyle Cunningham. This book is not a bullet-point list of what to do but rather a step-by-step, illustrated approach to grossing each specimen. This manual can be utilized at the bench with any specimen at any time. Key features include step-by-step photographic documentation of optimal methods for handling gross specimens commonly seen in the pathology laboratory, medical illustrations that highlight key anatomic features, and tips and tricks to produce optimal diagnostic sections for pathologic diagnosis. Each chapter also includes multiple choice questions to help apply the knowledge and skills learned in the readings. This text is not just a reference manual. It is a deliberative teaching manual meant to be taken into the lab and used at the bench providing consultative support. The text is specifically focused on pathology residents learning grossing skills when no one is around to answer questions. Currently, there are four main surgical grossing texts on the market. Those texts contain drawings and characterizations of the perfect organ and a list of sections needed for each specimen. These books do not focus on the methodology for taking the most appropriate sections with a focus on handling imperfect specimens. Manual of Pathologic Grossing is the only text that includes photographs of each step in the grossing process. The photos are accompanied by a step-by-step text of demonstrating how and why each section was taken.

Manual of Primary Care Dermatology
by D. Kishore YellumahanthiThis manual describes the issues of diagnosing and managing skin diseases relevant to primary care, where the vast majority of dermatology patients are initially investigated. In most circumstances, primary care physicians need to assess and diagnose skin conditions without the aid of any laboratory or other diagnostic tests. Given that dermatological training for primary care providers is limited, this can make it challenging to diagnose skin diseases accurately, more so for those in the early stages of their career. The Manual of Primary Care Dermatology is written by a dermatologically trained practicing primary care physician to address the issues in managing skin diseases in primary care medicine. It provides readers with practical guidance on the differential diagnosis of skin diseases. The anatomical approach presented makes it easy for the reader to manage their patients' skin condition. With chapters dedicated to lesions of the scalp, face or upper extremity, it represents a quick reference book even for a busy practitioner. It is therefore essential reading for all primary care physicians and dermatologists looking for a compact reference to the differential diagnosis of all skin diseases.
