Class of 2009 The Dj Review series is a unique resource that has been designed to allow you to review the essential facts and determine your level of knowledge on subjects tested on Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). This second edition of Dj Review: Pathology is designed for the students as a compact yet high-yield review of major pathophysiologic and histopathologic concepts which make up a large percentage of USMLE Step 1 questions and which will contribute to overall mastery of this subject matter. There are multiple ways of approaching the broad topic of pathology. We have included chapters on broad topics which inherently fall under the domain of pathology: biochemistry, microbiology, and chromosomal/genetic disorders.

The chapter on radiology has been expanded, and we have emphasized the inherent overlap between these two specialties. For the remaining chapters, we have attempted to integrate two organizational approaches in this second edition: organ system based and process based. As in the first edition, chapters are organized by organ system. New in this second edition, chapters are further subdivided by process (ie, neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious). We believe that this organizational approach will appeal to many different learning preferences. The question and answer format has several important advantages:
