Items related to Forensic Histopathology
This book, which combines the features of an atlas and a textbook, presents findings in forensic histology, immunohistochemistry, and cytology based on microscopic investigations using different stainings and different antibodies. The principal aim is to provide practitioners with detailed information and guidance on how microscopy can help to clarify the cause of sudden and unexpected death. Many of the topics will be of interest not only to forensic pathologists but also to general pathologists, whether practitioners or researchers. Examples include the pathology of drug abuse, wound age determination, adverse drug reactions, histopathology of the sudden infant death syndrome, and age determination of myocardial infarction. Both typical and unusual findings are demonstrated with the aid of numerous high-quality color illustrations, and other key literature in forensic histology and immunohistochemistry is highlighted for each topic.

From the reviews:
“Strength of this book, is the fact that it combines the features of both an atlas and a textbook, a feature that is not present in the other books available on the subject. Dettmeyer gives an exhaustive literature overview with the main results of both earlier and most recent publications on the different topics of forensic histopathology in the respective text sections. ... it is written from the forensic pathology practitioners point of view. However, many topics will also be of interest to clinical pathologists.” (Michael Tsokos, Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, Vol. 9, 2013)
“In this present work over the course of 20 chapters, he offers the reader profound insights into the areas of application of forensic histopathology as well as its significance. ... The 370 colour plates are marked by their high quality. The legends are informative and lucid. Each chapter is based on a synopsis of the latest literature on the subject. This book is to be recommended to all physicians involved in forensic work as a new standard work on forensic histopathology.” (Heidi Pfeiffer, International Journal of Legal Medicine, November, 2011)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
