E-Books →Hematology for Students and Practitioners, Including Practical Hematology, 7th Edition

The art-and-science of studying and diagnosing problems related to blood, the connective tissue of our body, has seen a sea-change during the last century and about a quarter of this century. In short, blood is the lifeline of human body. Blood assists in diagnosing most of the ailments that afflict the human body and also serves as the vehicle for infusing life-saving medicines too. It is also the army and navy of any living being, always ready to supply the fighting force-a line of defense in the microphages-better known as neutrophils. All antibodies are suspended in it too.
The book presents all the three cell lines, related disorders and their diagnostic protocols. If a disease presents with any change in hematological parameters, it is suitably and amply covered within the covers of this book. Not forgotten are the clotting mechanisms, the blood banking line, nor has the hemoparasitology been ignored. The hemo-malignancies are presented in desired details. Not much has changed in the last decade in treating leukemias in any case.
Last three years brought to the fore COVID, though still being discussed in the journals in the form of articles and papers, the basic accepted changes that blood undergoes have been lucidly introduced in the last chapter.
Not to forget the practical hematology, which was always an integral part of the previous six editions, has been duly presented too.
This book is aimed at undergraduate or postgraduate medical student, or a technologist running a clinic-side laboratory.
In the current century, automation has taken over to a great extent, however, unless one understands the basics and primary testing procedures one cannot grasp what a machine is doing and how. So tests of yesteryears are very much a part of this book as are random access walk-away automated systems.
