A medical specialty concerned with the study of the changes in tissues, organs, and cells as a result of disease or other phenomena.<\/p>\n
The study of diseases and the changes in structure and function which diseases cause in the body.<\/p>\n
Study of disease, its causes and effects, especially the observable effects of disease on body tissues.<\/p>\n
The branch of medicine concerned with diagnosis of disease, its effects on bodily functions, and causes of death. Pathology can involve laboratory examination of bodily fluids (clinical pathology), cell samples (cytopathology), and tissues (anatomical pathology). Pathology can involve the study of DNA (genetic material) to detect inherited genetic abnormalities, establish the paternity of a child, or identify criminal suspects. A pathologist is a doctor who specializes in pathology.<\/p>\n
The study of disease processes with the aim of understanding their nature and causes. This is achieved by observing samples of blood, urine, feces, and diseased tissue obtained from the living patient or at autopsy, by the use of X-rays, and by many other techniques. Clinical pathology is the application of the knowledge gained to the treatment of patients.<\/p>\n
The branch or specialty of medicine which is concerned with the structures of the body and their physiology (vital processes), and in particular the changes in both structure and physiological function which occur in disease. One of the medical specialties for which residency programs have been approved by the Accreditation Council tor Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).<\/p>\n
The science which deals with the causes of, and changes produced in the body by, disease.<\/p>\n
The study of the nature and cause of disease, which involves changes in structure and function.<\/p>\n
The field of medicine that focuses on the examination of abnormal alterations in cells and tissues, which serve as indications of disease.<\/p>\n
The exploration of disease, with a particular focus on its origins, mechanisms, and impacts on the body. The examination of disease-related alterations in cells is termed cytopathology, while the study of such alterations in body tissues is referred to as histopathology. A medical professional specializing in these fields is known as a pathologist.<\/p>\n
Pathologists engage in laboratory investigations of cells and tissues, facilitating other medical practitioners in achieving precise diagnoses. They also oversee other laboratory staff in the analysis and microscopic assessment of blood and various bodily fluids. Furthermore, pathologists perform autopsies, which involve physical examinations of deceased individuals, aimed at ascertaining the causes of death and comprehending the impact of a disease or treatment on the body.<\/p>\n
The field of medical science that studies the alterations caused by disease.<\/p>\n
