Wie kann die Frage nach der ersten „Eins“, der ersten Grenze, dem Beginn des Lebens, oder die des ersten Ei beantwortet werden? Wo liegen der Ursprung und wo das Ziel dieser Lebensfolge? Lassen sich diese Gesetzmäßigkeiten auf unsere Umwelt und uns selbst übertragen?
In diesem Buch finden Sie in einfacher, naturwissenschaftlich begründeter und humorvoller Weise Antworten, die überraschen und auch im täglichen Leben nutzbar sind!

Virtual microscopy or the diagnostic work with a completely digitized glass slide opens a new world in tissue – based diagnosis. What is the theoretical background of virtual microscopy and its proper application? What are the specific working conditions of tissue – based diagnosis in its conventional and its computerized manner? Which changes might be expected in become commonplace in medical practice? To which extend a computerized diagnosis system can replace human findings and statements?
This monograph discusses the theoretical basis, historical overview, and clinical applications of virtual microscopy and computerized diagnostic pathology. It describes the historic roots and basic laws of communication and diagnostics in health care. The hallmarks of development in light microscopy are included as well as analysis and quantification of histological images. Commercially available hard- and software systems are analyzed in respect to cost–benefit relation, performance and workflow embedding. Potential future development in terms of application, continuous education, research, and socioeconomic impact is included as well as a discussion of distributed information and knowledge concepts (Grid technology). Based upon its roots this book addresses to anticipate the future of tissue – based diagnosis.

This completely revised second edition of the first monograph on telemedicine and telepathology reflects the dramatic advances taking place in these rapidly evolving, telecommunications-enabled, medical fields. Telemedicine and telepathology have both matured as clinical tools and are being used in many countries. New types of health care organizations are emerging. For example, “virtual pathology institutions” are being established to allow international surgical pathology authorities to form ad hoc expert panels that review current problem cases over the Internet. New technologies include plans to completely digitalize histological slides and generate automated computerized diagnosis. They will influence the publication procedures for medical science and research, and enrich the educational experiences of students and medical practitioners.

How does the world of medical informatics work? What are its roots? How rapidly will informatics-driven patient-centric healthcare develop and expand? How will it influence the patients’ diagnosis, treatment and care? Which changes might be expected to become commonplace in medical practice? Will the developing countries and underdeveloped nations participate or be left behind?

This monograph discusses the theoretical basis, historical overview, and clinical applications of telemedicine and telepathology. Cost–benefit considerations for telehealth are included as well as a discussion of the socioeconomic impact of telecommunications on the health care industry. The influence and feedback of social behavior are described, as well as the interrelationships between medical requirements and technical innovations in the 21st century. This book is written by scholars who study the past in order to anticipate the future.

Mit histologischem Kurs auf CD-ROM

Veröffentlichung: (ca.) September 2008

In diesem Kurzlehrbuch werden die wichtigsten Grundlagen der Allgemeinen und der Organpathologie vermittelt. Zahlreiche Abbildungen zeigen in Ergänzung zum Text die wesentlichen Veränderungen an Zellen, Geweben und Organen. Sorgfältig ausgewählte Bildtexte erläutern wichtige Details. Typische Präparate aus der Pathologie werden in 7 Farbtafeln vorgestellt.
Das Buch richtet sich an Studenten der Medizin, ist aber ebenso für Medizinisch-technische Assistenten bestimmt. Es wurde unter Berücksichtigung der entsprechenden Gegenstandskataloge erstellt und eignet sich daher auch besonders als Repetitorium zur Examensvorbereitung. Darüber hinaus bietet es einen übersichtlichen Vorlesungs- und Kursbegleiter. Auszüge aus dem Gegenstandskatalog für die Ärztliche Prüfung und aus dem Lehrinhaltskatalog für die Ausbildung Technischer Assistenten in der Medizin sind mit Texthinweisen im Anhang aufgeführt.
