    Ahmad Altaleb, editor.
    Summary: This book provides a practical and clinically oriented guide to the concepts of pathologic diagnosis of surgical specimens. Concise and highly illustrated chapters cover essential information required within patient management. Telepathology, ancillary techniques, and surgical oncology concepts are also examined. Surgical Pathology: A Practical Guide aims to bridge the knowledge gap between surgeons and pathologists to promote mutual understanding and a better working relationship. This book is relevant to general surgeons, and surgical oncologists, whether in training or in practice. It also serves as an introduction for first-year pathology residents, and medical students interested in surgical pathology.

    For the evaluation of the effectiveness of contraceptives the Life Table method is at present the best method. It is a disadvantage that the original method of Tietze & Potter was restricted to the evaluation of intra-uterine contraception devices. A Belgian team is now in the process of developing a modified life table method for the evaluation of the effectiveness and the side effects of oral contraceptives. The reference to the Pearl-index for the effectiveness of contraceptives is unclear and in the way in which it is at present used scientifically untenable.
