Now in its second edition, Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management reflects the major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of blood disorders. It describes the latest clinical and scientific developments as well as details targeted and molecular therapies. The book brings together facts, concepts, and protocols important for the practice of hematology. In 23 chapters, all major blood diseases are covered, as well as rare diseases that are of scientific interest. As in the previous edition, each chapter is illustrated by tables, figures, and a selection of color plates.
This book explores a range of infections in hematology. It draws on extensive clinical experience and the results of modern research, and identifies new directions in this area of clinical medicine. It is known that, along with progress in medicine, the evolution of microbes also occurs, with resistance to antibiotics growing and new forms of infectious diseases emerging. As such, the findings of this book are particularly timely.
"In Modern Hematolgoy: Biology and Clinical Management, Reinhold Munker and his colleagues offer a summary of the fundamentals of clinical hematology, including all the most recent developments. Their survey presents the essential clinical facts concerning malignant and nonmalignant blood diseases, detailing diagnostic methods, angiostatic drugs, the very latest therapies (e.g., stem cell transplantation), classifications, scientific controversies, and clear treatment recommendations. They also illuminate the scientific basis needed to understand the new diagnostic and treatment methodologies, the molecular pathogenesis of many hematologic disorders, and the new cellular therapies for these malignant disorders. All major blood diseases are covered, as well as the rarer disorders of special scientific interest."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
In recent years there has been a widespread implementation of a new generation of hematology analyzers in the laboratory. These modern cell counters have contributed significantly to our ability to automatically and precisely measure a variety of characteristics in different cell types, including leukocyte sub-classes which were previously determined only microscopically. With this revolution in the hematology laboratory, there have been enormous cost savings and there is clearly an opportunity to improve the quality of service. Here, the authors present a practical guide for the hematology laboratory professional. They review the technology used in the new devices and the integration of the analyzers into the laboratory. Performance of these counters and quality assurance strategies are also discussed, paying particular attention to the state of the art technology, its merits and the potential for future advances. At present there is no other single guide to modern hematological cell counters which focuses on laboratory practice and treats all available technologies in depth. This text, written by authors who are internationally recognized for their research in this area, will have a wide audience including laboratory directors, hematologists, pathologists, administrators, technologists and technicians involved in hematology and diagnostic testing, medical practitioners and groups handling pharmaceutical trials.
The continuous advances in our understanding of hematology and neo plastic disorders have made possible this third volume of reviews. Their purpose is to summarize investigations which have defined new concepts, and, it is hoped, stimulate new ideas. In the choice of subjects, we have attempted to retain the balance between academic and clinical interests. We are grateful to the contributors, who have maintained the high stan dards set in the earlier volumes, and for feedback from readers. Both have helped to orient the direction of this series. It was a reader who pointed out that the title of the two earlier volumes, The Year in Hematol ogy, was misleading since it suggested a detailed review of trends and findings limited to the last year. In response to this valid comment, The Year . . . has been changed to Contemporary . . . and the scope has been expanded to encompass the kindred disciplines of hematology and oncol ogy. Another editor, Franco M. Muggia, has been added to provide addi tional expertise for the latter field. The title of the present and future volumes has been changed to Contemporary Hematology/Oncology. It has been pointed out to us that considerable ingenuity will be needed to find topics not already covered. We believe that the papers in the present volume have met this challenge. As before, the readers' comments con cerning Contemporary Hematology/Oncology will be appreciated. Joseph LoBue Albert S. Gordon Robert Silber Franco M.
Fulfilling the void with a Hematopathology book that integrates clinical and experimental studies with diagnostic criteria, Neoplastic Hematopathology: Experimental and Clinical Approaches provides an overview of the discipline of hematopathology that connects the field with recent advances in immunology research and current clinical practice in the treatment of lymphomas and leukemias. Designed for both trainees and specialists in pathology and hematology-oncology, Neoplastic Hematopathology: Experimental and Clinical Approaches has separate sections on laboratory techniques, diagnostic hematopathology, treatment and stem cell transplantation. Expert chapter authors address both myeloid and lymphoid tumors, and provide much needed coverage in transplant biology. A study guide highlights key chapter points, making the text suitable for boards review in hematopathology and hematology-oncology.
Provides a core knowledgebase for those with minimal exposure to hematologic molecular biology, fully revised and updated Molecular Hematology brings together the most up-to-date and reliable information on the molecular basis of major hematologic diseases. Edited and authored by leading experts in the field, this volume demonstrates the clinical relevance of molecular biology in the diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders. Concise, accessible chapters address key topics in modern hematology, such as lymphoma genetics, molecular coagulation, thrombophilia, pharmacogenomics, platelet disorders, hemophilia, anemia, and multiple myeloma. Chapters introduce and summarize specific hematologic diseases, explore the pathogenesis of the disorder, highlight new and emerging molecular strategies, and more. Now in its fifth edition, Molecular Hematology is fully revised to incorporate contemporary hematology research and practice. Entirely new chapters cover topics such as CAR-T cell technology, COVID, cancer cell biology, gene therapy and gene editing in clinical practice, as well as the impact of molecular research on the diagnosis and treatment of various malignant hematologic diseases. This edition includes updated suggested readings and a wealth of new full-color charts, graphs, and illustrations throughout. Covers the molecular biology of different blood diseases, their pathogeneses, and current molecular research and therapies Illustrates the impact of molecular research on hematologic investigations and therapeutics Discusses how progress in basic science and therapeutics has improved the diagnosis and care of patients with various hematologic disorders Surveys recent developments in cancer-cell biology, with an emphasis on leukemia and lymphoma Includes access to a companion Digital Edition providing search across the book, downloadable illustrations, and notation tools Molecular Hematology is a must-have resource for established and trainee clinicians, clinical scientists and researchers, medical students, and upper-level undergraduates in the fields of hematology, oncology, and molecular biology.
