Clinical Laboratory Hematology 2nd Edition by Shirlyn B. McKenzie presents cutting-edge technologies, excessive-high quality photographs and micrographs, case research, and convenient dual-stage (basic and advanced) presentation of information. Visual cross-referencing (symbols) all through make discovering data exceptionally easy.
Key chapters are presented by quite a lot of different authors and specialists within the area and embody information on: cellular homeostasis; the Stucture and Function of Hematopoietic Organs; Hemolytic anemia; Nonmalignant lymphocyte disorders and more. This book begins with a piece on regular hematopoiesis and progresses by means of anemias, nonmalignant and malignant leukocyte disorders. Hemostasis adheres to a similar format with normal hemostasis capabilities discussed first, followed by abnormalities in hemostasis.
The text is split into sections and possibly studied by section or chapter sequence. This gives the trainer flexibility to fit the book to their specific course design. The first two sections cover an introduction to hematology and normal hematopoiesis. This features a dialogue of the cell morphology, cell cycle, and its regulation. The section includes a dialogue on oncogenes emphasizing the concept that neoplasms are the results of mutations in normal genes that control cell proliferation and development.
This concept is additional discussed within the introduction to hematopoietic neoplasms. The third section contains procedures which are routine and performed in most laboratories. These are included originally of the book so the students can have basic laboratory test information as they proceed by means of the subsequent chapters on hematopoietic issues which deal with laboratory diagnostic protocols.
The next sections cover the hematopoietic problems and special laboratory procedures. The fourth part consists of the anemias and begins with an introduction to anemia chapter. The fifth part is nonmalignant disorders of the leukocytes. The book additionally features a discussion of special laboratory procedures which are useful in diagnosis and classification of hematopoietic neoplasms: flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics.
This section could also be studied earlier than or after the seventh part on neoplastic hematopoietic issues, depending on the reader's knowledge level of the neoplasms. If this is the reader's first publicity to the neoplasms, it may be higher to cover part 7 before part 6. Alternatively, sections 6 and 7 can be built-in and studied together.
Section 8 is a research of physique fluids. Body fluid analysis is usually a operate of the hematology laboratory, since analysis contains cell counts and assessment of cell morphology. As much of the analysis contains identification of cells and differentiation of malignant cells from reactive or normal cells, this section has many microphotographs.
Section 9 is a research of hemostasis. It begins with a research of regular hemostasis processes and proceeds to abnormalities which might be associated with bleeding and thrombosis. As a result of excessive frequency of thrombotic disorders and the fast discovery of mechanisms chargeable for thrombosis, the laboratory's position in analysis of thrombotic issues is expanding. Thus, a complete chapter is devoted to hypercoagulability (thrombophilia). This section additionally includes laboratory testing procedures for evaluation of hemostasis.
