Background Lesions in Laboratory Animals: A Color Atlas

40,00 

Background Lesions in Laboratory Animals will be an invaluable aid to pathologists needing to recognize background and incidental lesions while examining slides taken from laboratory animals in acute and chronic toxicity studies, or while examining exotic species in a diagnostic laboratory. It gives clear descriptions and illustrations of the majority of background lesions likely to be encountered. Many of the lesions covered are unusual and can be mistaken for treatment-related findings in preclinical toxicity studies. The Atlas has been prepared with contributions from experienced toxicological pathologists who are specialists in each of the laboratory animal species covered…

Description

Background Lesions in Laboratory Animals will be an invaluable aid to pathologists needing to recognize background and incidental lesions while examining slides taken from laboratory animals in acute and chronic toxicity studies, or while examining exotic species in a diagnostic laboratory. It gives clear descriptions and illustrations of the majority of background lesions likely to be encountered. Many of the lesions covered are unusual and can be mistaken for treatment-related findings in preclinical toxicity studies. The Atlas has been prepared with contributions from experienced toxicological pathologists who are specialists in each of the laboratory animal species covered and who have published extensively in these areas. Key features include: – Over 600 high-definition, top-quality color photographs of background lesions found in rats, mice, dogs, minipigs, non-human primates, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits; – a separate chapter on lesions in the reproductive systems of all laboratory animals written by Dr Dianne Creasy, a world expert on testicular lesions in laboratory animals; – a chapter on common artifacts that may be observed in histological glass slides. 135 p.

This book is aimed at pathologists at all stages of their training or career…The information is clearly and precisely set out in a format and is easy to read, with in-text referencing…this excellent book is an important contribution to lab animal and toxicological pathology. It is an essential reference for all pathologists who examine laboratory animal tissue for toxicology studies and will be an invaluable resource for diagnostic pathologists and trainees.

This concise volume fills a gaping void in the existing toxicologic pathology knowledge base that is regularly encountered by pathologists, toxicologists, regulatory scientists and basic researchers…This reference provides an excellent source for defining the potential relevance of ‘normal abnormalities’ when compiling pathology data sets…In summary, newcomers to the field will receive the most benefit, but seasoned veterans will also profit by rediscovering man seldom-seen acquaintances and gaining a wealth of citations for further honing their skills. Background Lesions in Laboratory Animals: A Color Atlas is a timely addition to the toxicologic pathology armamentarium, and it is destined to remain a boon companion for both apprentices and adepts for many years to come

This book will be an important contribution to the science of laboratory animal and toxicological pathology. It is a concise summary of lesions attributed to species, strains, age, sex etc., i.e designated ‘background lesions, seen in the primary animal species used in research laboratories

To those working in toxicological and research pathology, it (is) likely to be used on an almost daily basis. In fact, given the large numbers of animal-based studies being carried out in universities and other research institutions, this atlas will also benefit those scientists who read their own histology…In summary, this is an excellent reference atlas and is likely to a valuable tool for a wide range of pathologists
