An excellent resource to guide in the diagnosing of blood and bone marrow disorders and diseases. Aiding in the distinguishing of normal and abnormal findings of blood cells, this new atlas presents over 180 beautifully produced, high-quality slides picturing diseases from their earliest to their most developed stage. Topics discussed and pictured include leukemias, microcytic anemias, lymphomas, and many other cell disorders. Includes a CD-ROM.
Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine: Basic Principles and Practice
Ever since the discovery of blood types early in the last century, transfusion medicine has evolved at a breakneck pace. This second edition of Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine is exactly what you need to keep up. It combines scientific foundations with today's most practical approaches to the specialty. From blood collection and storage to testing and transfusing blood components, and finally cellular engineering, you'll find coverage here that's second to none. New advances in molecular genetics and the scientific mechanisms underlying the field are also covered, with an emphasis on the clinical implications for treatment. Whether you're new to the field or an old pro, this book belongs in your reference library.
Cell, Tissue and Disease: The Basis of Pathology, 3rd ed.
The new edition of this well-known text is an introduction to general pathology: a subject that bridges the divide between the basic biological sciences and the practice of clinical medicine. The functional and structural changes that occur in cells and tissues as a result of direct damage by, or reactions to, a wide variety of unfavorable circumstances are described. Full account is taken of the rapidly increasing understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.
This 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.
Conn’s Biological Stains, A Handbook of Dyes, Stains and Fluorochromes for Use in Biology and Medicine, 10th ed.
For 75 years Conn's Biological Stains has been a standard reference for those who used dyes and colorants in biological and medical sciences. This edition appears 25 years after the last and has been completely rewritten to reflect the increase in range of uses. Although staining of microscopical preparations continues to expand the uses of dyes and fluorochromes now extend beyond this application. This book provides the first overview of the whole range of low molecular weight fluorescent probes, outside the catalog literature. First ten chapters are essays on the important aspects of colorants and their uses. The remainder consists of descriptions of properties and recent applications of hundreds of individual compounds, in about twenty chemical classes.
Histotechnology: a Self Instructional Text, 2nd ed.
This guide to histotechnology serves as a troubleshooting resource and a special staining procedure reference. Chapters cover fixation, processing, instrumentation, safety, laboratory mathematics and solution preparation, nuclear and cytoplasmic staining, carbohydrates and amyloid, connective and muscle tissue, nerve, microorganisms, pigments, minerals, and cytoplasmic granules, immunohistochemistry, enzyme histochemistry, and electron microscopy. Changes include new chapters pertinent to histotechnologists preparing for the HTL (ASCP) certifying exams, a new glossary, and improved problem-solving techniques.
Platelet Protocols: Research and Clinical Laboratory Procedures
Scientists have made great strides in understanding what stimulates platelets to form blood clots at the molecular level and in developing drugs to inhibit platelet action. Their work has an effect on people who deal with cardiovascular disease, strokes, surgery, physical trauma, and other conditions. . It is a comprehensive laboratory manual on current procedures for evaluating and analyzing platelet function and abnormalities. Topics range from the basics of anticoagulants to the latest developments in platelet testing.
Wheater’s Basic Histopathology: A Color Atlas and Text, 4th ed.
This atlas and text of histopathology provides a practical collection of color photomicrographs of diseased human tissue to supplement standard pathology texts. An ideal companion to "Wheater's Functional Histology," this new edition gives more emphasis to the scientific basis of disease and clinicopathological correlations.
