Summary
The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) Atlases, now published by the American Registry of Pathology, offer comprehensive pathology resources. These atlases have evolved significantly in format and content over 75 years.
Area of Science:
- Pathology
- Medical Publishing
- Histopathology
Background:
- The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) Atlases (Fascicles) have a distinguished publication history spanning nearly 75 years.
- Over 130 volumes across four series have been published, establishing a reputation for excellence in pathology resources.
Observation:
- The Fascicles have evolved from basic loose-leaf atlases with black and white images to comprehensive hardbound monographs.
- Content has expanded to include clinical information, cytopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular diagnostics.
Findings:
- A rigorous review process ensures the quality and accuracy of each volume.
- The 5th series is in development, introducing digital formats like Epub and virtual slide boxes alongside traditional hardbound books.
Implications:
- The American Registry of Pathology (ARP) now manages the publication of both Tumor and Nontumor Fascicles following the AFIP's closure in 2011.
- Continued publication and digital integration ensure the accessibility and relevance of these essential pathology references.

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

00:54What is Behavior?
10.3K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?
