A comprehensive reference guide to the successful performance of
pediatric autopsies and to the optimal recognition and
interpretation of their pathologic findings. The authors cover such
major developmental disorders as hydrops, chromosomal defects, and
congenital abnormalities, metabolic disorders, and review the major
organ systems. Additional chapters address sudden infant death,
cytogenetics, the medical and forensic autopsy, special procedures,
cultures and infection control, and biological hazards at the
autopsy. Numerous standard reference tables, copious illustrations
and drawings, and an appendix at the end of each chapter provide a
wealth of practical information and bibliographic citations.
Despite the advent of powerful technological advances, the
cornerstone of patient care remains the history and physical
examination. In this era of lab tests and, in a system dominated by
"adult medicine," the special approach to the unique examination of
infants and children is often lost. In the Handbook of Pediatric
Physical Diagnosis, the highly respected pediatrician Lewis
Barness, and noted pediatrician and pathologist, Enid
Gilbert-Barness, present clear descriptions and guidelines for the
examination of the pediatric patient in an objective, analytical,
and humanistic manner. With concise, clearly written text covering
both common and difficult diagnoses, and aided by a wealth of
tables, charts, and illustrations, this new edition includes more
information on differential diagnosis, and has a new fresh look.
