The increased provision of facilities for neonatal and paediatric care in the last 25 years has been accompanied only in part by appropriate developments in pathology. Specialist pathologists are many fewer than paediatric departments, and details of the advances in knowledge of the pathogenesis of diseases in childhood and of ways of investigating them are not uniformly available. In many institutions an individual with a special interest rather than a special training will be responsible for paediatric pathology and it is to this group of histopathologists that this text is addressed. For this reason it is not written as a comprehensive text and is not intended for use as a reference volume. Areas which may produce particular difficulties for the individual with little specialist knowledge of the very young (e. g. , the lung) are dealt with in more detail and, in general, entities in which the histopathology does not differ greatly from that of the adult disease are considered briefly. A brief account of developmental processes is included where prenatal considerations are helpful in understanding a particular entity. A number of specialist topics which are known to trouble those who work in nonspecialist departments are described fully (diseases of muscle) or with guides to investigation (metabolic disease). The value of investigation and careful description of abnormalities of development is also emphasized. The authors are from different backgrounds, paediatric pathologists (J. W. Keeling, J.

This series of four video tapes, which is based on the demonstrations pre-recorded by Robert H Anderson and Anton E Becker, two prominent European morphologists, shows the essence of the abnormal morphology within carefully selected autopsy specimens, comparing the findings with appropriately dissected normal hearts, and supplementing the anatomic material with diagrams and cartoons. Accompanying these tapes is an explanatory book prepared with extensive full colour illustrations based on the specimens and diagrams used in the videos and supplemented by appropriate material from the extensive files of the authors.The introductory chapter of the book discusses the background to sequential segmental analysis and the importance of the morphological myocardial method of recognizing chambers and arterial trunks in congenitally malformed hearts. The book is also available without the videos.Videos and book together address such crucial questions as: ∗ How many segments need to be considered within the heart?∗ Is the myocardial morphologic method the best way of recognizing chambers?∗ Is the atrioventricular junction a common structure in the ostium primum defect?∗ Is there such a thing as isomerism of the atrial appendages?∗ What is the univentricular atrioventricular connection -- and are there really any univentricular hearts?∗ Is the infundibulum in tetralogy of Fallot too narrow, too shallow, and too short?To answer these, and many more questions, Anderson and Becker alternately act as devil's advocate in the four videos, each lasting approximately 40 minutes. The individual videos are devoted to: Video and Chapter Titles: ∗ Atrioventricular septal defects∗ Hearts with isomeric atrial appendages∗ Tetralogy of Fallot and double outlet right ventricle∗ Hearts with univentricular atrioventricular connection

<p>This video is the first in a series which will introduce the viewer to a philosophic approach for, and a morphologic background to, the diagnosis of children with congenitally malformed hearts. In each video we demonstrate the anatomy as seen in echocardiographic cuts, relating to the three-dimensional structure of the heart and then show the echocardiographic images themselves, demonstrating the window from which they have been obtained. The first video is the essential introduction to normality, showing the orthogonal planes of the heart relative to the body, and illustrates how the echocardiographer interrogates each plane. Emphasis is then placed on normal anatomic features which underscore sequential segmental analysis. The video is the first of its kind and is accompanied by an explanatory booklet containing video time codes to guide the viewer.</p>
