Patients suffering from psychosomatic disorders represent a
formidable challenge. Psychosomatic disorders are common, and
account for substantial personal discomfort, unnecessary medical
expenditures, socioeconomic loss, and disability. They are
challenging to diagnose, treat, and are rarely completely cured.
Furthermore, they often provoke strong negative reactions from
family, friends, and caregivers, who are unable to fathom their
inconsistencies. Currently, little is known as to how they develop
or why their symptoms tend to transform over time. In Pathologies
of the Mind/Body Interface, Richard Kradin, a medical internist,
pulmonologist, and psychoanalyst at a large Harvard hospital,
examines the historical, philosophical, cultural, psychological,
and neurobiological factors that contribute to the development of
psychosomatic disorders. He focuses on the role that developmental
stress and attachment disorders appear to play in increasing the
risk of developing psychosomatic symptoms, and advises medical
practitioners and psychologists on how to diagnose and treat them.
Dr. Kradin suggests areas of importance for future medical and
psychological research into the causes and treatments of these
debilitating disorders.

Understanding Pulmonary Pathology: Applying Pathological Findings
in Therapeutic Decision Making provides a much needed reference
tool for pathologists, practicing pulmonologists, and pulmonologist
researchers. The unique approach to pulmonary pathology combines
the multi-perspective views of the author who was trained formally
as both a pulmonologist and as a pathologist. The book addresses
what is often lost in translation when conveying the experience of
pulmonary pathology in practicing pulmonary medicine. This
important tool conveys detailed information concerning the anatomic
basis of disease to those oriented towards thinking about diseases
physiologically, providing the opportunity for optimal diagnosis,
treatment of patients, and advancement of research.
Comprehensive and up to date, the Second Edition of Diagnostic
Pathology: Infectious Disease, by Dr. Richard Kradin, is an
invaluable tool for the accurate diagnosis of any infectious
disease?from the common to the most challenging. The organ-based
format makes it an especially useful tool for surgical
pathologists' daily diagnostic and management issues. High-quality,
full-color illustrations and differential diagnosis tables
accompany each lesion, clearly depicting how to recognize the
morphology of organisms and the spectrum of histological responses
that they may cause. Addresses the most difficult diagnostic issues
that practicing or trainee surgical pathologists face when handling
infectious disease tissue specimens. Highlights morphological
characteristics and landmarks of tissue samples for easy access to
information necessary for signing out a specimen. Emphasizes the
host responses critical in differential diagnosis to serve as a
second opinion when non-infectious diagnoses mimic and confound the
diagnosis of infection. Completely revised with the latest
diagnostic support and hot topics in the field: A new chapter on
novel techniques in microbiology A new chapter on eye infections
New coverage of immunohistochemical staining and other molecular
diagnostic techniques New discussions of human papillomavirus, a
critical tool in predictive cancer screening New information on
infections in the immunocompromised host and related special
considerations Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase.
This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the
