Progress in Haematology: Volume 1


Book Description

Volume 1 of a series of books intended to help students of medicine, veterinary science, dentistry and biomedical science interpret the latest findings in haematology, provide a backdrop for future advances and provide more focused and in-depth reading for those wishing to follow a laboratory or clinically-based career. Each of the contributions is written by an authority in the field and is information rather than reference rich, providing an up-to-date resume of the latest advances in the subject and a focus for further reading.




Progress in Haematology: Volume 2


Book Description

Haematology is a rapidly changing subject, and it is therefore difficult for students to attain the level of knowledge required to get the most from their studies and to interpret scientific papers. This text is intended to bridge the gap between what students know and "cutting edge" advances.




Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Book Description

Providing essential information needed in clinical practice for the diagnosis and management of patients with blood disorders, this handbook covers haematological investigations and their interpretation, and commonly used protocols.




Hematology


Book Description

Hematology has constantly been advancing in parallel with technological developments that have expanded our understanding of the phenotypic, genetic, and molecular complexity and extreme clinical and biological heterogeneity of blood diseases. This has in turn allowed for developing more effective and less toxic alternative therapeutic approaches directed against critical molecular pathways. The continuous and rather extensive influx of new information regarding the key features and underlying mechanisms as well as treatment options in hematology requires a frequent update of this topic. The primary objective of this book is to provide the specialists involved in the clinical management and experimental research in hematological diseases with comprehensive and concise information on some important theoretical and practical developments in the biology, clinical assessment, and treatment of patients, as well as on some molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms and the respective translation into novel therapies.




Modern Hematology


Book Description

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.
