UP-TO-DATE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LEUKAEMIA DIAGNOSIS Written by a renowned expert this practical guide had been fully revised and updated. The book covers recent advances in the fields of immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular genetics. It illustrates how laboratory techniques are used for the diagnosis and classification of leukaemia and includes images of abnormal cells to aid diagnosis. This fourth edition: Incorporates the recommendations of the 2008 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues Includes 300 high quality full colour digital images of abnormal cells in leukaemia and lymphoma - 50 of which are completely new Every haematologist and haematopathologist should keep a copy close at hand for quick reference.

A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells is a straightforward text for those starting to examine blood films for the first time. No prior knowledge is assumed as the descriptions of haematological conditions start with normal cells and explanations of the terms commonly used to describe them. This leads on to abnormal findings. A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells: outlines the basics of diagnostic haematology; stresses the skills required to diagnose diseases of the blood by morphological analysis; describes how to analyse a blood film, how to recognize any abnormality present and how to interpret abnormalities; explains the clinical relevance of haematology tests in patient care; gives a simple explanation of the full blood count and a table of normal ranges; and tests understanding with a self-assessment section. A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells is ideal for a diverse group of practitioners who need a concise overview of diagnostic haematology.

Bone Marrow Pathology has been extensively revised to reflect the significant advances which have occurred in the application of cytogenetics and in particular, molecular genetics in the diagnosis, classification and understanding of haematological disorders. This comprehensive book not only provides information on all common disease entities, but also covers rare disorders in which bone marrow examination is useful. It is designed as a practical resource with \"problems and pitfalls\" highlighted throughout to aid laboratory diagnosis.

This popular pocket book has been updated and expanded throughout, providing a concise view of diagnostic haematology, in a convenient and practical format. A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells is an ideal for; Trainee laboratory technicians and scientists Students studying the physiology or pathology of the blood Those preparing for haematology examinations Why Buy This Book? Unique pocket guide, written by Barbara Bain - a world-renowned expert in the field of blood morphology Outlines the basics of diagnostic haematology Includes an invaluable self-assessment section NEW EDITION - now includes more information on clinical aspects and further tests.

From the bestselling author, Barbara J. Bain, the new edition of this practical reference on the principles of leukaemia diagnosis and classification has been fully updated, and incorporates the recently revised WHO classification. Leukaemias are a very heterogeneous group of diseases, which differ from each other in aetiology, pathogenesis, prognosis and responsiveness to treatment. Accurate diagnosis and classification are vital for the identification of specific biological entities and underpin scientific advances in this field. The detailed characterization of haematological neoplasms is also essential for the optimal management of individual patients. In this user-friendly guide, Professor Bain illustrates and explains how these many laboratory techniques are used for the diagnosis and classification of leukaemia and related disorders. Leukaemia Diagnosis, Fifth Edition will be highly valuable to trainee haematologists and laboratory scientists in haematology and related disciplines, and will also prove a useful reference source and teaching aid for those who already have expertise in this field. In addition, cytogeneticists and molecular geneticists will find that this book enhances their understanding of the relationship of their disciplines to the diagnosis, classification and monitoring of leukaemia and related disorders. Essential reading for every haematologist and haematopathologist, Leukaemia Diagnosis, Fifth Edition features * Over 300 high quality full colour digital images of abnormal cells in leukaemia and lymphoma supplemented by histological, cytogenetic and immunophenotyping images * Recent information on cytogenetic and molecular genetic abnormalities in leukaemia * Updated information on the characteristic immunophenotypic characteristics of different categories of leukaemia
