Providing essential information needed in clinical practice for the diagnosis and management of patients with blood disorders, this handbook covers haematological investigations and their interpretation, and commonly used protocols.

Haematology Nursing is a comprehensive handbook, with a nursing focus, on the care and management of patients with haematological disorders. Divided into four sections, the first provides an introduction to haematology, looking at haemopoiesis, immunology and genetics. Section Two covers non-malignant haematology, including anaemia, haemoglobinopathies and haemochromatosis. Section Three explores the pathophysiology, care and management of myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders, including leukaemia, myeloma, and lymphoma. The final section provides information on various nursing care interventions, including blood transfusion, venous access devices, and palliative care. Aimed principally at nurses working in a variety of settings including haematology/oncology wards, medical/haematology wards, specialist bone marrow transplant centres, and community settings, Haematology Nursing is an essential and much-needed reference guide.

Microscopic Haematology 3e is an atlas of Haematology designed for use in a diagnostic setting. the third edition provides over 400 full colour haematological slides of exceptional quality. Arranged in a logical order, it commences with the red cell series describing normoblastic erythropoiesis and then goes on to describe abnormal erythropoiesis and all the red cell disorders associated with anaemia. Each type of anaemia is described with a minimal amount of text and accompanied by coloured haematological slides depicting the red cell changes associated with the particular disorder. the image

An engaging haematology textbook detailing the laboratory process of data and blood film analysis, differential diagnosis and reporting. Cases in Microscopic Haematology is a high-quality haematology textbook featuring a collection of microscopic haematology case studies. Author Gillian Rozenberg has selected 80 case studies specifically designed to engage the reader in the laboratory process of data and blood film analysis, differential diagnosis and reporting. This selection includes a range of rare blood film/slides for an additional challenge. Case studies are organised according to difficulty and the worked cases are available in the back of the textbook. Each case featured in Cases in Microscopic Haematology provides the family history, analyser data and blood film/slide. Students are able to work through the cases using a template to complete the differential diagnosis and reporting. Both the process and template simulate a functioning laboratory environment. This local publication will appeal to both the academic and professional market. It is an excellent companion to Microscopic Haematology: A Practical Guide for the Laboratory 3e – also by Gillian Rozenberg. Elsevier's Evolve platform features a range of resources for instructors. This includes all the book's images in an easy-to-use image collection and 20 annotated virtual slides comprising case studies from Cases in Microscopic Haematology. • 20 annotated virtual Haematology slides • 80 Haematology cases to be worked through using template • Simulate laboratory process • Include rare range of blood film/slides not easily accessible (including paediatric) Evolve Resources For instructors only: • Image Collection – all the images from the book • 20 Virtual Slides – featuring cases from the book o Virtual Slide Annotations

Haematology provides a broad-ranging overview of the study of blood, from its physiology to the key pathophysiological states that can arise. It demonstrates throughout how the physiology underpins the key investigations carried out by a biomedical scientist, forging a clear link between science and practice.

Haematology Diagnostic haematology requires the assessment of clinical and laboratory data together with a careful morphological assessment of cells in blood, bone marrow and tissue ­fluids. Subsequent investigations including flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics and molecular studies are guided by the original morphological findings. These targeted investigations help generate a prompt unifying diagnosis. Haematology: From the Image to the Diagnosis presents a series of cases illustrating how skills in morphology can guide the investigative process. In this book, the authors capture a series of images to illustrate key features to recognize when undertaking a morphological review and show how they can be integrated with supplementary information to reach a final diagnosis. Using a novel format of visual case studies, this text mimics ‘real life’ for the practising diagnostic haematologist – using brief clinical details and initial microscopic morphological triage to formulate a differential diagnosis and a plan for efficient and economical confirmatory investigation to deduce the correct final diagnosis. The carefully selected, high-quality photomicrographs and the clear, succinct descriptions of key features, investigations and results will help haematologists, clinical scientists, haematology trainees and haematopathologists to make accurate diagnoses in their day-to-day work. Covering a wide range of topics, and including paediatric as well as adult cases, Haematology: From the Image to the Diagnosis is a succinct visual guide which will be welcomed by consultants, trainees and scientists alike.
