Pomara Cristoforo, Fineschi Vittorio (eds.) Forensic and Clinical Forensic Autopsy: An Atlas and Handbook

2nd edition. — CRC Press, 2021. — 227 p. — ISBN: 978-0-367-33071-2.Forensic and Clinical Forensic Autopsy: An Atlas and Handbook, Second Edition, provides a step-by-step, photo-assisted guide illustrating the complete autopsy, from pre- through post-autopsy procedures. All too often, forensic pathologists perform autopsies that are limited only to the body parts that are suspected, leading to biased and inaccurate results. A correct diagnosis for the cause of death can only be reached by a strict and systematic examination of the whole body. The chapters of this book look at external cadaver examiners, organ removal methods, and laboratory procedures, including recording and imaging techniques, microscopy applications, pediatric and fetal autopsies, and checking for genetic disease and DNA diagnosis. New chapters and sections to this edition cover histology and immunohistochemistry, in addition to the added coverage of forensic anthropology and molecular autopsy. From macroscopic to microscopic approaches, Forensic and Clinical Forensic Autopsy, Second Edition, provides detailed guidelines for the performance of autopsy on every part of the human body. Using these standardized protocols with the proper knowledge, training, and experience, pathologists – and students of pathology and forensic pathology – can rely on this book to help them develop the skills needed to become experts in their field.A Methodological Approach to the External Examination.
