ISBN: 0323239064
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 917
Book Description
Featuring hundreds of full-color photomicrographs, Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications, 5th Edition prepares you for a job in the clinical lab by exploring the essential aspects of hematology. It shows how to accurately identify cells, simplifies hemostasis and thrombosis concepts, and covers normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic origins. This text also makes it easy to understand complementary testing areas such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics. Clinical lab experts Elaine Keohane, Larry Smith, and Jeanine Walenga also cover key topics such as working in a hematology lab, the parts and functions of the cell, and laboratory testing of blood cells and body fluid cells. Instructions for lab procedures include sources of possible errors along with comments. Case studies in each chapter provide opportunities to apply hematology concepts to real-life scenarios. Hematology instruments are described, compared, and contrasted. UPDATED, full-color illustrations make it easier to visualize hematology concepts and show what you'll encounter in the lab, with images appearing near their mentions in the text so you don't have to flip pages back and forth. Hematology/hemostasis reference ranges are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick reference. A bulleted summary makes it easy to review the important points in every chapter. Learning objectives begin each chapter and indicate what you should achieve, with review questions appearing at the end. A glossary of key terms makes it easy to find and learn definitions. NEW coverage of hematogones in the chapter on pediatric and geriatric hematology helps you identify these cells, a skill that is useful in diagnosing some pediatric leukemias. UPDATED chapter on molecular diagnostics covers new technology and techniques used in the lab.

Consultative Hemostasis and Thrombosis
Author: Craig S. Kitchens
Publisher: Saunders
ISBN: 9781416024019
Category : Anticoagulants (Medicine)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Covers a broad range of subjects in the field of hemostasis and thrombosis. It is organized into six sections. Part I includes an introduction to the consultative process, laboratory testing, and the overall approach to the patient with bleeding. Part II covers various conditions leading to bleeding: hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and platelet dysfunction. Part III deals with thrombotic processes, including deep venous thrombosis, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Part IV covers pharmacologic agents. It deals with the usual anticoagulants and antifibrinolytic agents but also includes some succinct information on transfusion. A brief, but valuable, final chapter deals with topical hematostatic agents. The last two sections of the book cover special areas. Problems specific to women are covered in chapters on the thrombotic risks of contraceptive and postmenopausal hormone therapy. The authors of this chapter did not have the final results of the Women's Health Initiative available, but the discussion presages its conclusions. Other chapters cover bleeding disorders and thrombophilic states in pregnancy. Part VI includes what the editors call "special considerations" and covers a diverse range of topics from outpatient anticoagulant therapy to hemostasis and thrombosis in the intensive care unit.
