With the 13th edition, Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology once again bridges the gap between the clinical practice of hematology and the basic foundations of science. Broken down into eight parts, this book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of: Laboratory Hematology, The Normal Hematologic System, Transfusion Medicine, Disorders of Red Cells, Hemostasis and Coagulation; Benign Disorders of Leukocytes, The Spleen and/or Immunoglobulins; Hematologic Malignancies, and Transplantation. Within these sections, there is a heavy focus on the morphological exam of the peripheral blood smear, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other tissues. With the knowledge about gene therapy and immunotherapy expanding, new, up-to-date information about the process and application of these therapies is included. Likewise, the editors have completely revised material on stem cell transplantation in regards to both malignant and benign disorders, graft versus host disease, and the importance of long-term follow-up of transplantation survivors.

The accurate diagnosis of haematologic malignancies is a complex and challenging task. It routinely involves morphologic, molecular, cytogenetic and flow cytometric expertise. To determine what treatment protocol will be followed, it is vital to integrate, interpret and report these results accurately. Flow cytometry is key in this diagnostic pathway. This book guides the reader as to how flow cytometry results should be interpreted and applied to optimize patient care. At the core of this text is an appreciation of clinical, morphological and immunophenotypic correlation and the importance of constant liaison and discussion between the medical and scientific teams. The authors present a logical and practical approach to the diagnosis of blood disorders (both neoplastic and reactive) and evaluate the diagnostic applications of flow cytometry. Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology Diagnosis provides: A clinical reference source on all aspects of flow cytometry, covering both malignant and benign conditionsCarefully chosen real-life cases in each chapter, complemented by high quality morphological images Help in making a diagnosis, together with an understanding of the limitations of the technique and the potential pitfalls All those who instigate, perform, interpret or act upon flow cytometry patient material will find this book an invaluable guide.

Expertly edited and endorsed by the International Society for Laboratory Hematology, this is the newest international textbook on all aspects of laboratory hematology. Covering both traditional and cutting-edge hematology laboratory technology this book emphasizes international recommendations for testing practices. Illustrative case studies on how technology can be used in patient diagnosis are included. Laboratory Hematology Practice is an invaluable resource for all those working in the field.

This manual describes all of the techniques used in the investigation of blood diseases. It discusses the principles of each test, possible causes of error, and the interpretation and clinical significance of the results.

Comprehensive in scope and thoroughly up to date, Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology, 15th Edition, combines the biology and pathophysiology of hematology as well as the diagnosis and treatment of commonly encountered hematological disorders. Editor-in-chief Dr. Robert T. Means, Jr., along with a team of expert section editors and contributing authors, provide authoritative, in-depth information on the biology and pathophysiology of lymphomas, leukemias, platelet destruction, and other hematological disorders as well as the procedures for diagnosing and treating them. Packed with more than 1,500 tables and figures throughout, this trusted text is an indispensable reference for hematologists, oncologists, residents, nurse practitioners, and pathologists.

For more than 65 years, this best-selling text by Drs. Barbara J. Bain, Imelda Bates, and Mike A. Laffan has been the worldwide standard in laboratory haematology. The 12th Edition of Dacie and Lewis Practical Haematology continues the tradition of excellence with thorough coverage of all of the techniques used in the investigation of patients with blood disorders, including the latest technologies as well as traditional manual methods of measurement. You'll find expert discussions of the principles of each test, possible causes of error, and the interpretation and clinical significance of the findings. - A unique section on haematology in under-resourced laboratories. - Ideal as a laboratory reference or as a comprehensive exam study tool. - diagnosis, molecular testing, blood transfusion- and much more. - Complete coverage of the latest advances in the field. - An expanded section on coagulation now covers testing for new anticoagulants and includes clinical applications of the tests.

Featuring over 400 brilliantly sharp, high-resolution diagnostic digital photomicrographs combined with concise, clinically oriented text, this full-color atlas is a comprehensive pictorial guide to diagnostic hematology. Tied to the world-renowned textbook Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology, this brand-new atlas enables physicians to see and readily comprehend diseased tissues and understand the complex assays used in patient care. The comprehensive pictorial collection covers all hematologic diseases and includes relevant clinical and radiological images, photomicrographs (surgical and autopsy specimens), and advanced diagnostic laboratory images including molecular assays, FISH, and cytogenetics. The color pictures are combined with diagrams and tables that help readers use "algorithmic" approaches to diagnosis. Two complementary formats allow readers to approach hematologic diseases from either Wintrobe's disease categorization perspective, or by an image-directed approach based on morphological pattern recognition in diseased tissues. A bound-in DVD contains large high-resolution photomicrographs, digitally enhanced to allow readers to interact with components of the print image.
