• To learn microscopic anatomy of the tissues and organs of the human body.
• To learn histological terms and concepts for the purpose of identification and precise communication.
• To develop a systematic thinking process as a means to identify histological preparations correctly.
• To understand the relationship between microscopic structure and function.
• To understand the preparative procedures used in histology and how they affect the visual image.




By methodically reviewing images in this database you will learn to identify cells, tissues, organs, and parts of organs correctly. You learn to do this, not by memorizing the images, rather, by learning how morphological features relate to function and by understanding which features are most diagnostic of organ systems and organs of the systems. In medicine, as in histology, this intellectual process involves art as well as science. The art lies in knowing which questions to ask, and in what order, in your systematic process of elimination.

California Tumor Tissue Registry

The California Tumor Tissue Registry is a non-profit organization dedicated to the enhancement of patient care via promotion of medical education, research and diagnostic consultation. It totally supports the Mission of Loma Linda University, endeavoring in its own way “To Make Man Whole.”

Goals:
(a) Education and betterment of patient care. By providing its subscribers with slides of rare and unusual tumors, the Registry broadens the experience of local and distant pathology communities. The study sets serve as points of study and discussion resulting in more uniform diagnostic rendering and more uniform patient care.

(b) Provide quality consultation. The pathology staff of Loma Linda University Medical Center serve as consultants to the Registry, providing multiple areas of expertise.

(c) Research. As a repository of rare tumors (over 30,000 accessions and 30,000 consultations) the Registry serves as an invaluable resource for serious cancer research.

PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIC EXAM

"PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIC EXAM: A NEURODEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH"

uses over 145 video demonstrations and narrative descriptions in an online tutorial. It presents the neurological examination of the pediatric patient as couched within the context of neurodevelopmental milestones for Newborns, 3 month-olds, 6 month-olds, 12 month-olds, 18 month-olds, and 2-and-a-half year-olds. Use the Table of Contents on the left to access these tutorials.

In assessing the child’s developmental level, the examiner must know the age when key social, motor, and language skills are normally acquired. The normal neurological findings one would expect for a newborn are certainly different than a 2, 6 or 12-month-old infant.

Obtaining developmental milestones is an important reflection of the maturation of the child’s nervous system, and assessing development is an essential part of the pediatric neurological examination. Delay in obtaining developmental milestones and abnormal patterns of development are important indicators of underlying neurological disease.

This "Internet Accessible Tutorial for Medical Neuroscience in the Pediatric Neurologic Examination" is authored by the University of Utah School of Medicine (Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD), and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (Paul D. Larsen, MD).

A companion website to the Pediatric Neurological Examination is the Adult Neurologic Exam: An Anatomical Approach, where the anatomical foundations of the neurologic exam are presented and examples of both normal and abnormal patient conditions are exhibited.
