    Endomyocardial biopsy diagnosis of acute cardiac allograft rejection
    (1991) Hunt, James Barrie; Rose, A G
    The aims of the present investigation are fourfold: (i) to review the range of non-invasive methods that may be used to diagnose acute cardiac allograft rejection; (ii) to review the use of the bioptome in sampling the donor heart endomyocardium; (iii) to review the light microscopic and histological grading of acute cardiac rejection; (iv) to characterise the mononuclear populations in endomyocardial biopsy samples and correlate the findings with the light microscopic appearances of the same biopsy specimens.

    Intra-osseous synovial sarcoma.
    (1982) Rose, A G; Uys, C J; Brawn, E
    Intra-osseous synovial sarcoma is very rare and its mode of origin is conjectural. Our patient's tumour was situated within the lower femur. The sited of origin of the few intra-osseous synovial sarcomas so far documented may support the concept of intra-osseous synovial rests.

    The value of the autopsy in clinical medicine
    (1993) Innes, David Findlay; Rose, A G
    The main purpose of this study was to assess the value of the autopsy in clinical medicine today. This has been achieved by analysing several variables. Clinical diagnostic accuracy was determined by assessing the concordance/discrepancy of clinical and autopsy diagnoses. In addition, several variables were assessed, namely whether or not the size of the hospital, type of ward, autopsy rate, age of the patient, and degree of confidence with which the clinical diagnosis was made had any bearing on the accuracy of the diagnosis. The impact of the newer diagnostic tests on clinical diagnosis was also assessed to confirm or refute the widely held opinion amongst clinicians that diagnostic advances have indeed reduced the need for autopsies. The attitudes of pathology registrars and consultants towards the autopsy were analysed, using a questionnaire proposed by Stubbs et al.
