This updated and expanded edition of a resource for clinicians, pathologists, residents, and students details skills necessary for performing autopsies, covering dissection techniques, appropriate handling of unexpected findings, written and photographic documentation, accurate interpretation of findings, and compassionate and professional communication with families, physicians, and legal counsel. Part I, on techniques and procedures, contains six new chapters. Included in this section are tools such as a sample next-of- kin letter and a quality assurance worksheet. There is a new discussion of the safe handling of sharps, complete with photographs, and updated material on requirements of the Eye Bank of America and the US Food and Drug Administration for ocular tissue transplantation. The updated cytogenetics chapter will help pathologists to decide when conventional chromosome studies are useful and when molecular cytogenetic methods are more applicable. Material on common law and statute law pertaining to dead bodies and autopsies in general has been added to the discussion of legal aspects. There is also new material on new techniques for the long-term preservation of organs. Part II, an alphabetical listing of diseases and conditions, has been updated with new diseases and recent references. Part III provides tables of normal organ weights and body measurements for fetuses, children, and adults. The growth charts for children are presented in a larger format than in previous editions. The art program offers b&w photos and drawings throughout. Waters teaches in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Fletcher Allen Health Care and University of Vermont.
