Atlas makroskopické patologie – Horáček Jaroslav (2024)

Pathology is an undeniable foundation of clinical medicine, even at a time when most progress occurs at the molecular level. Knowledge of the true picture of pathologically affected organs is irreplaceable for doctors. Unfortunately, today medical students have very limited opportunities to gain this experience directly in autopsy rooms. The unique monograph in the form of an illustrated atlas, prepared by the doyen of Czech pathology, Doc. MUDr. Jaroslav Horáček, CSc., contains several hundred instructive photographs – basic macroscopic findings within systemic pathology. The publication summarizes individual findings according to organ systems, focusing on the most common findings in autopsy diagnostics. The book is presented in a highly didactic manner and provides essential orientation in basic autopsy findings. Its great advantage is the exceptionally clear graphic presentation of images, as well as perfect orientation in basic diagnoses. This publication will be a significant benefit for both students of general medicine and clinical doctors in surgical and non-surgical fields, and especially for young doctors specializing in pathological anatomy and forensic medicine.
