(Current Human Cell Research and Applications) 1st ed. 2019 Edition
by Takaki Ishikawa (Editor)
This volume reviews the application of biochemical and molecular
pathologies, which are based on conventional pathomorphology,
toxicology, and DNA analysis technologies, not only to autopsies but
also to the field of clinical medicine in general.
The systematic
and integrated use of biochemical, immmunohistochemical, and molecular
pathology, toxicology, DNA analysis, and cell culture investigations
reinforces the pathophysiological diagnostic criteria in a forensic
autopsy for clinical diagnosis. The use of these technologies can help
to determine the cause and process of death and characterize the
functional pathophysiological changes in the body that occur during the
death process. Recently, the systematization of the latest supplemental
tests, diagnostic methods, and quality control has allowed us to conduct
comprehensive data collection and analysis for a range of diseases.
This
book presents the latest findings on the pathology of a broad range of
human diseases, based on data concerning postmortem biochemistry and
molecular biology collected from approximately 1000 people. Further, it
puts forward a code of ethics for undertaking pathophysiological
research and describes research techniques for uncovering
pathophysiological mechanisms. As such, it offers a unique resource for
researchers in the field of forensic medicine and pathology, and for
clinicians.
