Synopsis

Blood Cells: A Practical Guide enables both the haematologist and laboratory scientist to identify blood cell features, from the most common to the most obscure. It provides essential information on methods of collection, blood film preparation and staining, together with the principles of manual and automated blood counts. Although microscopy and the automated full blood count remain the core subjects within this expanded edition, Blood Cells also includes brief descriptions on cytogenetics and molecular genetics, as well as more detail on the rote of immunophenotyping. In addition, there is a completely revised and updated section on instrumentation that includes the latest models. The final two chapters deal with all the common and many uncommon conditions that may affect the blood and indicate what further tests are likely to be useful when a particular diagnosis is suspected. The new edition of this comprehensive guide is: • highly visual with over 350 colour illustrations • the only up-to-date book guiding haematologists and laboratory scientists through the wide range of blood disorders in a practical and concise way • both a haematology reference book and a practical bench manual for the laboratory

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"This book provides a comprehensive guide for the diagnostic clinical haematology laboratory. Much of this material is hard to find elsewhere. The piece de resistance/tour de force of this clearly written book is morphology, the forgotten art of haematology.

The reader will find many pearls of wisdom scattered throughout the text. These nuances and practical tips are not usually in standard textbooks but are passed on from master to student in the course of patient care by doing, not reading.

Dr Bain′s measure of success for her book was to send ′the reader back to the microscope with renewed interest and enthusiasm′. With this third edition of a gem of a text, she has succeeded brilliantly. This book will find a useful place on the bookshelf right above the haematologist′s trusty microscope."
British Journal of Haematology

"should be considered an essential part of every haematology library. It is relevant to the needs of both scientific and clinical haematologists and many workers may wish to own their own copy."
British Journal of Biomedical Science

"With some 300 high quality colour plates, this book contains all that is required to aid the identification of the most common, to the most obscure, blood cell features that a haematology laboratory is likely to encounter... It is highly recommended."

Quatrième de couverture

Blood Cells has been written with both the practising haematologist and the trainee in mind. It aims to provide a guide for use in the diagnostic haematology laboratory, covering methods of collection of blood specimens, blood film preparation and staining, the principles of manual and automated blood counts and the assessment of the morphological features of blood cells. The practising haematologist should find this book sufficiently comprehensive to be a reference source while, at the same time, the trainee haematologist and biomedical scientist should find it a straightforward and practical bench manual. 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 Four hundred high quality photographs to aid with blood cell identification Highlights the purpose and clinical relevance of haematology laboratory tests throughout
