Infos

Provides coverage of the pathogenesis, clinical, morphologic, molecular and investigational aspects of a full range of blood disorders seen in daily practice

The revised fifth edition of this renowned atlas presents readers with a comprehensive, visual guide to clinical hematology, featuring 2700 full-color photographs and figures depicting the spectrum of hematological diseases. Ranging from photographs of the clinical manifestations and key microscopic findings to diagrams of the molecular aspects of these diseases, the book provides up-to-date information of the blood diseases that clinicians encounter every day.

Color Atlas of Clinical Hematology: Molecular and Cellular Basis of Disease offers the reader an understanding of normal cell machinery, and of the molecular basis for such processes as DNA and cell replication, RNA species, trafficking and splicing, protein synthesis, transcription factors, growth factor signal transduction, epigenetics, cell differentiation, autophagy, and apoptosis. The text goes on to explore how these processes are disturbed in the various diseases of the bone marrow, blood, and lymphoid systems.

* Helps solve difficult diagnostic challenges and covers complex principles using highly illustrative, full-color images

* Explores all aspects of benign and malignant hematology, including blood transfusion and coagulation with extensive coverage of the pathogenesis of common clinical entities

* Provides a quick and easy reference of key diagnostic issues in a comprehensive yet concise format

* Includes and illustrates the WHO Classification of Hematologic Malignancies

* Illustrates the new knowledge of the molecular basis of inherited and acquired blood diseases

Color Atlas of Clinical Hematology: Molecular and Cellular Basis of Disease is the must-have resource for both trainee and practising hematologists, and for every department of hematology.

"Substantially updated and now multi-authored so that all aspects of haematology are equally covered, including the newest developments in molecular biology and genomic sequencing"

"There is a surplus of invention in communicating complex problems here and an admirable effort to keep the reader totally up-to-date"

Rezensionen

"Substantially updated and now multi-authored so that all aspects of haematology are equally covered, including the newest developments in molecular biology and genomic sequencing. The latter is perhaps best realized in the first chapter 'Molecular Biology of the Cell', where the text and superb figures merge into a highly readable crash course in molecular biology.....I particularly enjoyed the chapter on myelodysplastic syndromes, where clonal heterogeneity is now did actically illustrated.....There is a surplus of invention in communicating complex problems here and an admirable effort to keep the reader totally up-to-date. Of note, there is now an eTextbook version of the Atlas.....Whenever there comes a new model of your smartphone, reviews always try to decide whether you should update from your old model. I would say that there is every reason to update your atlas, even if you have the second last edition. In conclusion, should you encounter one of the knowledge hungry students (be they of medical or master of science background) asking you whether haematology is an exciting career path to embark upon, one way to answer the question would be to hand her/him this atlas for half an hour. It is a major accomplishment and an excellent recruiting tool!"- Peter Hokland (British Journal of Haematology)
