This sixth edition provides an overview of fetal and neonatal pathology through a system-based approach. This book contains new chapters on immunology, with a continued focus on molecular aspects of pathology in the perinatal setting. The general principles of perinatal pathology and their clinical situations are also discussed, along with specific pathological entities and their organ systems. Keeling’s Fetal and Neonatal Pathology, sixth edition aims to help the reader treat common problems through anatomical pathology findings and is relevant to practicing and trainee pathologists, obstetricians, maternal and fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, and pediatricians.

Authored by an internationally recognized authority in perinatal pathology, the2nd Edition of this text has been thoroughly revised and updated with recent advances in the field and technological developments. Features a new chapter on "Study of the Embryo and Early Fetus."

A guide to identifying disease processes in the placenta affecting pregnancy outcome, with current diagnostic criteria and clinical consequences.

This book serves as a quick study guide during the stages of examination preparation for the pediatric pathology boards. The material covers most of the major topics in pediatric pathology including the fetal, perinatal, infant, child, and organ system pathology. It includes a short quiz containing 115 questions with photomicrographs for each, and an answer key inserted at the end of the book.

"1 Clinical history, clinical correlations with placental pathology and prematurity The initial steps in the process of perinatal nervous system evaluation, namely the planning of the optimal approach and choice of samples to be obtained, are driven by the clinical context. Of key importance are the following data: a. Gestational age at time of demise (if stillborn); or gestational age and postnatal age (if liveborn), for comparison with normative standards of development (see Appendix); b. State of maternal health (age, parity, pre-existing medical conditions or ones appearing during gestation or around the time of delivery, exposure to medications/toxins/infections), and of health of siblings or other family members: - Concerns for inherited (i.e., genetic) conditions, metabolic disorders, congenital infections, etc., may indicate the need for special testing; c. Details of prenatal course, including any imaging, amniocentesis, or monitoring: - Prenatal imaging modalities most commonly consist of transabdominal ultrasonography, generally done at the time of the first prenatal visit (to confirm pregnancy) or more usually in the mid-second-trimester for detection of fetal or placental anomalies"--

Pediatric pathology has been a recognized sup-specialty of pathology for almost two decades. Today pathology training programs are required to provide education in pediatric pathology. In addition to pediatric pathology specialists, many general and community-based pathologists regularly handle pediatric specimens. A working knowledge of current pediatric pathology is essential for appropriate handling of these cases. The Color Atlas of Pediatric Pathology covers the broad range of pediatric diseases that a pathologist will likely encounter and is written by well-known leaders in this field. Coverage includes both frequent and less commonly seen cases, and each discussion presents a concise summary of the salient features of the disease along with expertly selected, high-quality color images. The Color Atlas of Pediatric Pathology is a practical working resource for every pathologist who sees pediatric cases as well as the pathology trainee. The atlas features approximately 1,100 high-quality images as well as important staging and prognostic (including molecular) parameters. Features of the Color Atlas of Pediatric Pathology include: Comprehensive coverage of pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology Each chapter is presented by a recognized expert Practical presentation: concise text highlights diagnostic features making the atlas an outstanding resource for the practitioner Illustrated throughout with approximately 1,100 full-color images

The fourth edition of the classic reference in the field of fetal and neonatal pathology, this revised and updated book retains the overall format of previous editions, presenting the same practical approach to the examination of both fetuses and perinatal deaths. It provides essential clinical and pathophysiological information and discusses the pathogenesis of abnormalities as a basis for appropriate methods of investigation. While primarily addressing the morbid anatomist and histopathologist, it is also a valuable resource for obstetricians, neonatologists and paediatricians.

Obstetricical care and the growing number of pregnancies in older women or medically challenged women creates an expanding need for placental pathology that can provide information on neonatal care, risk assessment, and infant and mother outcomes. In the Surgical Pathology Clinics, Essential Gross Examination of the Placenta is presented with an abundance of images along with clear steps in the examination. Also presented are Placenta Accreta and Percreta; Ascending Infection – Acute Chorioamnionitis; Maternal Floor Infarction and Massive Perivillous Fibrin Deposition. Additionally, Umbilical Cord Pathology, Monozygotic Twinning, and Fetal Thrombotic Vasculopathy, Neonatal Stroke and other sequelae are discussed. Each of the topics presents abundant clinical photos and histology slides supporting diagnosis. Editor Rebecca Baergen, whose specialty areas are fetal pathology, placental pathology, gynecology and perinatal pathology, leads a group of authors who are experts in placental pathology, including her mentor and one of the pioneers in placental and perinatal pathology, Dr. Kurt Benirschke.

This book provides a concise guide to fetal pathology and postnatal fetal examination. The legal and ethical aspects of fetal examination are addressed, along with the modern practical approach to fetal malformations, oriented fetal autopsy, neuro-fetopathological examination, and pathology of the placenta. Practical Manual of Fetal Pathology aims to evaluate recent advancements and the impact they have had on clinical practice. This book is relevant to fetal and perinatal pathologists, geneticists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and pediatricians.
