Featuring hundreds of full-color photomicrographs, Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications prepares you for a job in the clinical lab by exploring the essential aspects of hematology. It shows how to accurately identify cells, simplifies hemostasis and thrombosis concepts, and covers normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic origins. This book also makes it easy to understand complementary testing areas such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics. Well-known authors Bernadette Rodak, George Fritsma, and Elaine Keohane cover everything from working in a hematology lab to the parts and functions of the cell to laboratory testing of blood cells and body fluid cells.

• Full-color illustrations make it easier to visualize complex concepts and show what you'll encounter in the lab.
• Learning objectives begin each chapter, and review questions appear at the end.
• Instructions for lab procedures include sources of possible errors along with comments.
• Case studies provide opportunities to apply hematology concepts to real-life scenarios.
• Hematology instruments are described, compared, and contrasted.
• Coverage of hemostasis and thrombosis includes the development and function of platelets, the newest theories of normal coagulation, and clear discussions of platelet abnormalities and disorders of coagulation.
• A bulleted summary of important content appears at the end of every chapter.
• A glossary of key terms makes it easy to find and learn definitions.
• Hematology/hemostasis reference ranges are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick reference.
• Respected editors Bernadette Rodak, George Fritsma, and Elaine Keohane are well known in the hematology/clinical laboratory science world.
• Student resources on the companion Evolve website include the glossary, weblinks, and content updates.

• New content is added on basic cell biology and etiology of leukocyte neoplasias.
• Updated Molecular Diagnostics chapter keeps you current on techniques being used in the lab.
• Simplified hemostasis material ensures that you can understand this complex and important subject.
• Coverage of morphologic alteration of monocytes/macrophages is condensed into a table, as the disorders in this grouping are more of a biochemical nature with minimal hematologic evidence.

The landmark hematology reference -- now in full color

A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE for 2011!

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This edition continues the tradition of providing a comprehensive, updated textbook of hematology. This very worthy objective is spectacularly met by this edition. As a textbook of hematology, this has a broad-based audience -- medical students, residents, fellows, and practitioners (including our allied health partners) in virtually every aspect of medicine. The authors and editors are internationally recognized -- in fact, luminaries, in their fields....Williams continues to sustain its unparalleled reputation as THE textbook of hematology. I've run out of superlatives. Get it."--Doody's Review Service

Edition after edition, Williams Hematology has guided generations of clinicians, biomedical researchers, and trainees in many disciplines through the origins, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management of benign and malignant disorders of blood cells and coagulation proteins. The book begins with the evaluation of the patient and progresses to the molecular and cellular underpinnings of normal and pathological hematology. Subsequent sections present disorders of the erythrocyte, granulocytes and monocytes, lymphocytes and plasma cells, malignant myeloid and lymphoid diseases, hemostasis and thrombosis, and transfusion medicine.

Featuring a brand-new full-color presentation, the Eighth Edition of Williams Hematology is extensively revised to reflect the latest views of experts in the field. Two new chapters examine the importance of genomics in hematology and cell therapy for tissue replacement, whereas other chapters have been revised to incorporate the newest clinical approaches to the leukemias and lymphomas, and the application of targeted therapy in the treatment of hematologic disorders.

New to this Edition:

• Full-color presentation conveniently integrates images of blood and tissue findings where they are cited in the text
• Two additional chapters, “Genomics and Epigenetics,” and “Regenerative Medicine: Principles of Multipotential Cell Therapy for Tissue Replacement,” offer insights into the application of genomic and monoclonal therapies to hematology and emphasize their role in improving diagnostic and therapeutic methods
• Expanded coverage of non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes separate chapters on its constituent diseases, providing an in-depth assessment of the diagnosis and management of these disorders
• A comprehensive discussion of erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis reviews reactive and malignant forms of myeloproliferation, encompassing new genetic advances in these disorders along with more targeted therapeutic approaches
• Companion CD includes a large selection of morphologies, illustrations, and drawings from the book, in a presentation-ready PowerPoint format

Essential Haematology is established as the most authoritative introduction to haematology. Beautifully presented, it introduces the formation and function of blood cells and diseases that arise from dysfunction and disruption of these processes. Basic science, diagnostic tests, clinical features and management are all clearly explained. The book outlines the basic principles of clinical and laboratory haematology and shows how manifestations of blood diseases can be explained by new knowledge of the disease processes.

For the first time, Essential Haematology is fully supported by a suite of online MCQs and answers, and is now available as a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition (upon purchase of the book).

• Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest research in this fast-moving field
• Contains summary boxes at the end of each chapter
