LiVolsi Virginia A., Merino Maria J., Brooks John S.J., Saul Scott H., Tomaszewski John E. (eds.) NMS Pathology

3rd edition. — Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 1993. — 560 p. — (The National Medical Series for Independent Study)Detailed yet concise, this book uses a comprehensive outline format and is organized in the way that pathology is taught at most medical schools. New to this edition are: the addition of a transplantation chapter, which covers general immunologic mechanisms and pathologic features of transplant rejection, organ-specific transplantation pathology (kidney, liver, heart, lung, bone marrow), graft-versus host disease, and complications of transplantation; K-type questions have been eliminated and replaced by case-based or clinically oriented questions; and a moderate increase in tables and diagrams, to "break-up" dense outlined text. The NMS outline format provides a logical organization of pathology concepts and eliminates unnecessary words and detail.Inflammation;
