Now in its Third Edition, the text has been extensively revised and rewritten to reflect the latest advances in the field. Features: An extremely practical, up-to-the-minute text incorporating the new WHO classification of haematopoietic malignancies A comprehensive text written with great precision and clarity of style Incorporates a new section 'Problems and Pitfalls' – a unique section that will aid the working pathologist faced with a difficult situation An important text for the haematologist, histopathologist and haematopathologist with equal weight given to peripheral blood, aspirate, trephine biology and specialized techniques Extensively illustrated with many of the photographs being of paraffin-embedded sections Combines all the techniques now applied to bone marrow diagnosis, including immunocytochemistry, flow cytometery, immunohistochemistry and the diagnostic role of cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis
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
The third edition of this popular pocket book, A Beginner’s Guide to Blood Cells written by Professor Barbara Bain, provides a concise introduction to normal and abnormal blood cells and blood counts for trainees in haematology. Includes a brand new chapter on emergency morphology, designed to make the clinical significance and urgency of certain laboratory findings clear for biomedical scientists and to assist trainee haematologists in the recognition of major clinically important abnormalities Contains exceptional full colour images throughout Introduces important basic concepts of hematology, setting haematological findings in a clinical context Provides a fully updated self-assessment section An essential resource for trainee haematologists, biomedical scientists, and biomedical science and medical students
Written to help haematology and general medical trainees evaluate their own knowledge, and particularly useful for those preparing for the Part 1 examination of the Royal College of Pathologists. This exam-centered book will also be of use to core medical trainees preparing for the examinations of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and to haematology and general medicine trainees in other countries where methods of examination are similar. The 150 questions are presented in two formats, Single Best Answer and Extended Matching Question, and comes complete with detailed feedback and, when appropriate, relevant references are given for each question so that those who select the wrong answer will understand why another answer is better. Quick reference question book, ideal for examination preparation Includes 50 SBA questions, ideal for the Part 1 and Part 2 MRCP examinations, which although having a general medical slant, are also appropriate for haematology specialist trainees Includes 70 SBA multiple choice questions appropriate for haematology specialist trainees but also useful to core medical trainees Includes 30 EMQs suitable for those taking Part 1 of the FRCPath examination Questions come complete with fully referenced answers and discussion points This book provides an educational tool for training as well as an ideal way to prepare for examinations and is also of value to those who examine in haematology and haematopathology.
Enables both the haematologist and laboratory scientist to identify blood cell features, from the most common to the more obscure Provides essential information on methods of collection, blood film preparation and staining, together with the principles of manual and automated blood counts Completely revised and updated, incorporating much newly published information: now includes advice on further tests when a specific diagnosis is suspected 400 high quality photographs to aid with blood cell identification Highlights the purpose and clinical relevance of haematology laboratory tests throughout
