Atlas Of Clinical Hematology

An excellent companion to Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles & Applications, this atlas is ideal for helping you accurately identify cells at the microscope. It offers complete coverage of the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, basic maturation of the blood cell lines, and discussions of a variety of clinical disorders. Over 400 photomicrographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs visually clarify hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies. Normal Newborn Peripheral Blood Morphology chapter covers the unique normal cells found in neonatal blood. A variety of high-quality schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs visually reinforce your understanding of hematologic cellular morphology. Spiral binding and compact size make this book easy to use in a laboratory setting. Coverage of common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, aids in classifying malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders. Morphologic abnormalities are presented in chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a schematic description of each cell, to provide correlations to various disease states. Body Fluids chapter covers the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens. Updated information on the subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) helps you recognize variant forms of CLL you may encounter in the lab.

Learn how to accurately identify cells at the microscope with Clinical Hematology Atlas, 6th Edition. An excellent companion to Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications, this award-winning atlas offers complete coverage of the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, maturation of the blood cell lines, and information on a variety of clinical disorders. Vivid photomicrographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs clearly illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies so you can be certain you’re making accurate conclusions in the lab. Schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs in every chapter visually enhance student understanding of hematologic cellular morphology. Compact size, concise text, and spiral binding make it easy to carry and reference this atlas in the laboratory. Chapter on normal newborn peripheral blood morphology covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood. Chapter on body fluids illustrates the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens. The most common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, are featured in the leukemia chapters to assist in the classification of both malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders. Chapter featuring morphologic changes after myeloid hematopoietic growth factors is included in the text. Morphologic abnormalities coverage in the chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along descriptions of each cell, presents this information in a schematic fashion. Appendix with comparison tables of commonly confused cells includes lymphocytes versus neutrophilic myelocytes and monocytes versus reactive lymphoctyes to help students see the subtle differences between them. Glossary of hematologic terms at the end of the book provides a quick reference to easily look up definitions. NEW! Revised chapters include updates based on extensive reviewer feedback. NEW! Updated photos reflect the most up-to-date information and latest advances in the field.

This exciting resource takes readers inside the highly visual science of hematology, combining abundant, high-quality color illustrations with expert descriptions of the most recent and clinically relevant advances in the field. Essential content focuses on the hematologic malignancies, emphasizing how an improved understanding of these disorders has served as a springboard to the development of effective anticancer treatments. Discussions by expert editors and contributors review Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, plasma cell disorders, myeloid disorders, coagulopathies, anemias, and the role of cytokines and stem cells. Hundreds of clear, vibrant illustrations enhance diagnostic accuracy and guide treatment decisions.

First published in 2006, the bestselling Wintrobe’s Atlas of Clinical Hematologyhas now been comprehensively updated by a brand-new editorial team to bring you state-of-the-art pictorial coverage of the complete range of hematologic conditions. Thousands of meticulous, full-color images capture the characteristic appearance of each pathologic entity, and concise descriptions point out features of diagnostic importance. The result is a peerless reference to facilitate confident diagnosis in hematology.

This highly revised and updated atlas is the third edition of an essential reference in the field of hematology. Highly illustrated, this colorful visual diagnostic aid condenses the pathogenesis, clinical, morphological, and investigative aspects of the whole range of blood disorders into one, comprehensive resource. The detailed reproduction of photomicrographs, along with concise, clinically-directed text facilitates the recognition of morphological abnormalities in blood and bone marrow cells. The highly accessible format of this text enables quick and easy reference for anyone using it. Comprehensive coverage the whole range of blood disorders is discussed Highly Illustrated in full colour aids recognition of signs in the cells Concise text with explanatory artworks enables quick and easy reference in the laboratory Explanatory artworks and tables clarifies complex principles, helpful for trainees Brings together pathogenesis, clinical, morphological, investigational and therapeutic aspects Additional coverage of: Newly discovered cytokines (interleukins 9 to 14) Molecular defects in inherited and acquired blood disorders New leukaemia types and thenew classifications of the lymphom

Make sure you are thoroughly prepared to work in a clinical lab. Rodak’s Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications, 6th Edition uses hundreds of full-color photomicrographs to help you understand the essentials of hematology. This new edition shows how to accurately identify cells, simplifies hemostasis and thrombosis concepts, and covers normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic origins. Easy to follow and understand, this book also covers key topics including: working in a hematology lab; complementary testing areas such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics; the parts and functions of the cell; and laboratory testing of blood cells and body fluid cells. UPDATED nearly 700 full-color illustrations and photomicrographs make it easier for you to visualize hematology concepts and show what you’ll encounter in the lab, with images appearing near their mentions in the text to minimize flipping pages back and forth. UPDATED content throughout text reflects latest information on hematology. Instructions for lab procedures include sources of possible errors along with comments. Hematology instruments are described, compared, and contrasted. Case studies in each chapter provide opportunities to apply hematology concepts to real-life scenarios. Hematology/hemostasis reference ranges are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick reference. A bulleted summary makes it easy for you to review the important points in every chapter.
