[PDF] Hematopathology: A Volume in the High Yield Pathology Series 1st Edition (2013) by Jon C. Aster

Description

Here’s a rich pictorial review of normal and abnormal human prenatal development. For each body system or region, you’ll find a brief description of the developmental plan, with key concepts and terminology, followed by discussions of histological principles, the classification of congenital defects, and basic cellular, molecular, and genetic concepts. An emphasis on morphological patterns in the embryo and fetus makes it easy to understand the structure and function of the adult body and the embryonic basis of birth defects.

Reviews

The knowledge gotten across is decent but I also feel a lot of the particular genetic disorders given were not talked about in my class and a lot of the disorders talked about in class were not in here. In the other Road Map books, there has been a lot more overlap between lecture and review book.

All in all, I got more out of the genetic sections in the other Road Map books than the official USMLE Road Map Genetics book. This book does have great illustrations for pedigrees and decent summaries. It will give you the majority of info you need. But I’d also argue it gives you too much information for a review book.
