FORENSIC HISTOPATHOLOGY FUNDAMENTALS AND PERSPECTIVES 2ED (PB 2018) Hardcover

This second edition, blending the features of both an atlas and a textbook, presents key findings in forensic histology, immunohistochemistry, and cytology based on microscopic investigations using various stains and antibodies. It addresses quality considerations in forensic histology while also exploring scientific perspectives for future research. The primary goal is to provide practitioners with detailed guidance on how microscopy can aid in determining the cause of sudden and unexpected deaths, including rare histopathological findings. This book is valuable not only for forensic pathologists but also for general pathologists, whether in practice or research. Topics covered include the pathology of drug abuse, wound age determination, adverse drug reactions, histopathology of sudden infant death syndrome, and myocardial infarction age estimation. Typical and unusual findings are illustrated with numerous color images, and key literature on forensic histology and immunohistochemistry is highlighted for further reference.
