Heme Notes A Pocket Atlas Of Cell Morphology

Portable--comfortably fits in a lab coat pocket. More than 300 high-quality, full-color photographs of cells show cell morphology. Guides you step by step through the complicated process of performing a manual differential. Side-by-side comparisons demonstrate and discuss the differences between commonly confused cells. Hints help you learn how to identify and differentiate cells. Consistent format and tabbed organization make it easy to find the cell line in question. Waterproof, wipe-off/wipe off pages are ideal for use at the bench. An organization by disorder makes reference easy.

A DAVIS’S NOTES BOOK Cell morphology at your fingertips! This pocket-sized atlas delivers concise, yet comprehensive coverage of the morphology of normal and abnormal peripheral blood and bone marrow cells. Organized by cell line, it emphasizes morphological identification. With more than 300 full-color photographs in the popular Davis’s Notes® format, it’s the perfect reference at the bench, in class, or during clinical rotations—anytime you need to identify cells. And, its write-on/wipe-off pages let you take notes in any setting. Heme Notes is the ideal companion to Denise M. Harmening's Clinical Hematology and Fundamentals of Hemostasis, which provides comprehensive coverage of the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and laboratory testing and treatment of hematologic disorders.

This essential guide can help readers identify blood type cells, which are difficult to categorize, and explains the morphologic characteristics of peripheral blood cells in detail. Some of the book's features include: color photographs that depict each stage of cell maturation in the exact sequence of development; comparative photographs of difficult-to-identify cells from different cell lines with adjacent diagrams and instructions in chart form; and an explanation of the entire differential procedure, with mathematical guidelines.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is pleased to introduce the second edition of Anderson's Atlas of Hematology, the most comprehensive atlas for the laboratory technologist. Understanding that effectiveness as a technician comes through the ability to identify what one sees under the microscope, this atlas equips students with visual examples of the concepts covered in their programs. This new ediion has been thoroughly updated and revised based on the latest basic science and clinical findings. In addition, you’ll find new, higher-quality images as well as the most recent World Health Organization classification of hematologic disorders. With its four-color illustrations and clear descriptions, this atlas enables you to describe and identify all stages in the development of blood cells. Moreover, it provides an illustrated guide to a broad range of hematologic disorders. Used as a quick reference, study guide, or atlas, this is an invaluable tool for today's laboratory technician student, helping them clearly identify the very types of hematologic images they will encounter in practice.

Ensure you are accurately identifying cells at the microscope with Clinical Hematology Atlas, 5th Edition. An excellent companion to Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles & Applications, this award-winning atlas offers complete coverage of the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, basic maturation of the blood cell lines, and information on a variety of clinical disorders. Nearly 500 photomicrographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs vividly illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies so you can be sure you're making accurate conclusions in the lab. Schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs are found in every chapter to visually enhance understanding of hematologic cellular morphology. Smaller trim size, concise text, and spiral binding make it easy to reference the 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 help classify both malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders. Chapter featuring morphologic changes after myeloid hematopoietic growth factors is included in the text. Morphologic abnormalities are covered in the chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a description of each cell, in a schematic fashion. User resources on the Evolve companion site feature review questions and summary tables to further enhance their learning experience. NEW! Appendix with comparison tables of commonly confused cells includes lymphocytes versus neutrophilic myelocytes and monocytes versus reactive lymphoctyes to help users see the subtle differences between them. NEW! Glossary of hematologic terms at the end of the book provides a quick reference to easily look up definitions.
