Opis: Muscle Biopsy: A Practical Approach - Anders Oldfors, Caroline A. Sewry, Victor Dubowitz

Muscle Biopsy: A Practical Approach serves as a succinct but comprehensive reference for pathologists and neurologists in practice and in training that skilfully guides them through the complexities of diagnosing muscle biopsy specimens and highlights their implications for clinical treatment. The authors are all internationally known for their work on muscle disease and this practical reference work successfully bridges the gap between clinical syndromes and disorders and their underlying pathologies. This practical text distils a wealth of experience by focusing on the most important elements of etiology, pathogenesis and pathological appearance. ""The third edition of this book...has surpassed my expectations. The quality of the book overall is excellent, from the production and layout to the illustrations, diagrams and index. The range of muscle diseases included spans both adults and children, with an integrated approach to diagnosis including clinical, genetic, biochemical and pathological features. Overall, this book has been a highlight of the past year for me. It deserves to do very well indeed and will be of immense value beyond its target readership.""
