This monograph “Essentials of Fluid Cytology” is written for practicing pathologists in community hospitals, residents in pathology and cytotechnologists who want to have a quick review of the cytopathology of serous effusions, peritoneal and pelvic washings, cerebrospinal fluid and urine in neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases of the kidney and lower urinary tract. Cytologic manifestations of lesions commonly encountered in day-to-day practice are discussed and illustrated. In keeping with the goals of the author’s cytology monograph series, the text is concise and contains only relevant information. Immunohistochemical features of neoplasms that are important for tumor typing and differential diagnosis are stressed. And for most lesions, cytologic and histologic images are presented side by side for easy comparison.
This grade evaluation guide applies to the work of exhibits specialists, illustrators, and visual information specialists. For more detailed information on these three occupations, refer to their respective series coverage standards.
Despite the strong pressures from international financial markets on governments’ abilities to choose freely among different economic and other policy options, political parties, at least nominally, continue to propose very distinct policy solutions. Parties, when running for office, claim that they will implement policies that differ significantly from those of their competitors. The proposition of distinct nominal policy positions still is an important component of democratic electoral competition, although observers often object that government parties pursue very similar actual policies once they assume office.
