John Wiley and Sons Ltd Pathology for Toxicologists
Book SynopsisNon-pathologists, such as toxicologists and study personnel, can find it difficult to understand the data they receive from pathologists. Toxicological pathologists write long, detailed and highly technical reports. Study personnel are under daily pressure to decide whether lesions described in pathology reports are treatment-related and thus important to the pharmaceutical company or whether the lesions are background changes and thus of little significance. Written by experienced toxicological pathologists, Pathology for Toxicologists: Principles and Practices of Laboratory Animal Pathology for Study Personnel serves to bridge the gap in the understanding of pathology data, enabling non-pathologists to more easily comprehend pathology reports, better integrate pathology data into final study reports and ask pathologists relevant questions about the test compound. This succinct, fully referenced, full colour book is suitable for toxicologists at all stages of tTrade ReviewIn its first edition, Pathology for Toxicologists edited by Dr Elizabeth McInnes is a much welcomed addition to the basic literature bridging the 2 complementary sciences of pathology and toxicology, specifically within the context of drug, chemical, or device industries. Aimed at the wide spectrum of study personnel supporting investigational and routine toxicity studies, this book provides a broad yet succinct coverage of the bases underlying the generation and interpretation of pathology data and enables a better use, comprehension, and integration of these data into toxicology reports. In its paperback presentation (provided for this review), the book is illustrated and has a good print quality, is concise, portable, and thoroughly referenced. The 6 contributing authors are all adequately qualified and have hands-on experience on the topics they covered; the editor herself contributed with 4 chapters. The book structure is organized into 8 chapters and include an introduction to pathology techniques, recording pathology data, general pathology and the terminology of basic pathology, common spontaneous and background lesions in laboratory animals, target organ pathology, clinical pathology, adversity from the pathologist’s perspective, and limitations of pathology and animal models.Each chapter begins with a learning objectives section and ends with a comprehensive list of references; a chapter-by-chapter analysis is included below. The book also includes a glossary (always helpful when dealing with pathology terms and acronyms)and an index. In short, this book is a bridging reference between toxicology and pathology, broadly covering the bases of laboratory animal pathology generation, interpretation, and communication, and it should prove useful not only for early career as well as for practicing toxicologists. (International Journal of Toxicology 36:5) ‘The book succinctly covers the general underpinnings of pathology data generation and interpretation, with the honorable goal of facilitating the use, communication, understanding, and integration of pathology data into toxicology reports …Six highly qualified authors contributed with 8 chapters (4 of which were authored by the editor), spanning various themes in pathology data generation and interpretation, including an introduction to pathology techniques, recording pathology data, general pathology and the terminology of basic pathology, common spontaneous and background lesions in laboratory animals, target organ pathology, clinical pathology, adversity from the pathologist’s perspective, and limitations of pathology and animal models … At the beginning of each chapter, a learning objectives box frames the most important concepts to be attained and, at its conclusion, a comprehensive list of references points the reader to additional information. The book is complete with an index and a glossary (a must-have when working with pathology terminology and acronyms). This textbook is a bridging reference covering the general bases of pathology data generation, interpretation, and communication that early career and practicing toxicologists will find useful.’ (Journal of Toxicologic Pathology, November 2017) 'Pathology for Toxicologists is highly recommended not only for toxicologist, but also for pharmaceutical research, discovery, and development scientists; young anatomic and clinical toxicologic pathologists; academic and diagnostic pathologists; and anatomic and clinical pathology graduate students and residents. Its use will successfully facilitate the interface between toxicologist and toxicologic pathologists. Its perusal by pharmaceutical research and discovery scientists will facilitate their understanding of the technical constraints and regulatory requirements that face toxicologic pathologists and toxicologic pathology laboratories. Its perusal by young anatomic and clinical toxicologic pathologists upon entry into toxicologic pathology will quickly bring them up-to-speed on the complexity of the regulations and constraints under which they will be working. Perusal of the book by toxicologists and study personnel will provide them an insight into the toxicologic pathology world, improving their interfaces and collaborations and facilitating decisions about pathology.'

This succinct, fully referenced, full colour book is suitable for toxicologists at all stages of tTrade Review"The book consists of 8 very easy-to-read chapters and highlights (as mentioned in the Preface), �the uncertainties encountered by the pathologist when reading studies� and shows �why pathologists cannot always make up their minds�. The book explains and endorses the fact that explanation of pathology findings in a toxicology study must involve pragmatic (as well as scientific) thinking. Each chapter ends with a good reference section and pages 184 to 186 contain a useful glossary...Overall, there is a lot of useful information packed into this book and it is definitely a suggested read for toxicologists and others involved in seeing pathology data, either as an introduction or a refresher." (Paul Baldrick, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology June 2017)"[T]he standout comment for me is that I was expecting to know what was in the book, but the diversity and richness of the contents was something that both captured my imagination and summarised several of the internal thoughts that I've always held...Each chapter has learning objectives, setting out the upcoming topics. The text is illustrated with some beautiful, predominantly macroscopic photographs and the text is clear, concise and easily followed...This is a really good book...I have really enjoyed reading the text and it is something that I will certainly share with others."
