Fundamentals of Biomedical Science: Histopathology

More about the book

Biomedical scientists are essential to modern healthcare, playing critical roles in cancer screening, HIV diagnosis, blood transfusions, and infection control. Their work enables disease diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and research into disease causes and cures. The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series addresses the challenges faced by biomedical scientists today, integrating essential basic science with laboratory practice insights. It covers a wide range of disciplines, including microbiology, cytopathology, and transfusion science, while assuming minimal prior knowledge. Alongside specific volumes on biomedical themes and laboratory diagnosis, a comprehensive Biomedical Science Practice volume equips professionals with necessary skills. The series emphasizes the complex roles of biomedical scientists, the developmental needs of employers, and the importance of fundamental sciences in biomedicine, linking theoretical knowledge to practical application. Histopathology focuses on the processes central to a histopathologist's role, from pre-sampling to diagnosis and lab management. It highlights the significance of cell and tissue physiology for clinical condition identification and details optical technology's role in microscopy, covering fixing, staining, and imaging methods. An accompanying Online Resource Centre offers figures, an interactive Digital Microscope, self-assessment modules, and video podcasts featuring pr
