The second edition of *Outline and Review of Pathology* by Friedman, Stewart, and Verity, edited by Herbert Braunstein, is designed to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of pathology for second-year medical students. The book covers major areas of pathology in 31 compact chapters, following a traditional organization into general and systemic pathology. Each chapter begins with a review of normal anatomy, cell biology, and physiology, followed by a detailed discussion of pathophysiology. The book includes well-organized appendices on infectious diseases and childhood diseases, and an extensive index. However, it lacks classic pictures of diseased organs and references. Despite these drawbacks, the book is a valuable resource for second-year medical students, especially for preparing for the National Boards and clinical studies.
The third edition of *Stereoscopic Atlas of Macular Diseases: Diagnosis and Treatment* by Dr. Donald Gass provides a detailed review of macular diseases. The book begins with an introduction to the normal macula and its anatomy, histology, physiology, and angiographic findings. New chapters cover the principles of interpreting fluorescein angiograms and various macular diseases, including choroidal exudative and hemorrhagic detachment, heredodystrophic disorders, inflammatory diseases, and photocoagulation treatment. The atlas includes 2,410 illustrations, including fundus photographs, stereo color fundus photographs, fluorescein angiographs, and photomicrographs, making it a comprehensive resource for ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologists. The book also discusses the recent advancements in photocoagulation techniques and their complications.
The second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, edited by D.J. Weatherall, J.G.G. Ledingham, and D.A. Warrell, reflects significant advances in clinical and pre-clinical medicine while maintaining clear expositions of basic principles. The two-volume set covers a wide range of medical topics, including pathophysiology, history taking, and clinical examination. The editors have made efforts to enhance the book's usability, expanding its content and improving its organization.The second edition of *Outline and Review of Pathology* by Friedman, Stewart, and Verity, edited by Herbert Braunstein, is designed to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of pathology for second-year medical students.
