- Descriptions for each cell type include size, reference intervals, and nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics.
- Body Fluids chapter covers the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens.
- White blood cell differential table shows cells found in a normal white blood cell differential.
- Overview of hematopoiesis includes a schematic drawing along with a detailed presentation of each cell, demonstrating the relationship between individual stages of hematopoiesis and the overall development scheme.
- Morphologic abnormalities are presented in chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a schematic description of each cell, to provide correlations to various disease states.
- Coverage of common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, aids in classifying malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders.
- Spiral binding and a compact size make this book easy to use in a laboratory setting.
- NEW Normal Newborn Peripheral Blood Morphology chapter covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood.
- More examples of specific cells and disorders allow you to compare abnormal cells to each other and to normal cells, differentiating those that are similar.

Modern Blood Banking And Transfusion Practices (Modern Blood Banking and Transfusion Practice)
from F. A. Davis Company
Modern Blood Banking and Transfusion Practices continues to set the standard for teaching and learning modern blood banking. Thorough, yet concise, the fifth edition begins with a review of basic science, plus the history of blood preservation, and continues to provide students with a working knowledge of modern blood banking as it focuses on the how and why of transfusion practice, presenting a perfect "crossmatch" of theory and practice.
Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications
by Bernadette F. Rodak
from Saunders
This comprehensive text examines normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid and megakaryocytic origins. Hemostasis and coagulation theory, testing, and instrumentation are also thoroughly discussed. Beautiful full-color illustrations throughout the text enhance comprehension and allow students to realistically visualize hematology concepts.
- Detailed, full-color illustrations appear near hematology concept discussions to visually support comprehension and recognition.
- Opening Case Studies present real-life scenarios to apply concepts presented in each chapter.
- Learning Objectives and Review Questions work together to list expected outcomes and then test those concepts for each chapter.
- A Bulleted Summary highlights the key concepts at the end of each chapter.
- Hematology/Hemostasis Reference Ranges inside the front and back covers provide quick reference.
- Three new chapters detail significant information: An Overview of Clinical Laboratory Hematology, Hematology in Selected Populations, and Monitoring Anticoagulant Therapy.
- All chapters have been revised to feature the most current technology and research updates.
- The included Glossary of Terms and consistent pedagogy ensure a cohesive, effective tool for learning.
- Two well-respected editors contributed more significantly to this third edition: George Fritsma shared his expertise for the Hemostasis section and Kathy Doig managed the pedagogical features.

AJCC Cancer Staging Manual (6th Edition)
by Frederick L. Greene
from Springer
The AJCC Cancer Staging Manual and Handbook, prepared by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, are used by physicians and health care professionals throughout the world to facilitate the uniform description of neoplastic diseases. Proper classification and staging allow the physician to determine treatment more appropriately, evaluate results of management more reliably, and compare worldwide statistics reported from various institutions on a local, regional, and national basis more confidently. The fully revised and updated Sixth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual brings together all currently available information on staging of cancer at various anatomic sites and incorporates newly acquired knowledge on the etiology and pathology of cancer. As more is learned, cancer staging must adapt to accommodate new information and this revised edition provides an evidence-based staging system based upon the established tenets of TNM classification. All of the TNM staging information included in the Sixth Edition is uniform between the AJCC and the UICC (International Union Against Cancer). Organized by disease site into 48 comprehensive chapters, the Sixth Edition features much-anticipated, major revisions to the chapters on melanoma and breast cancer. Numerous new line drawings illustrate key anatomic sites throughout the text. Additional user-friendly enhancements include: * a concise summary of changes in the TNM classification since the previous edition at the start of every chapter * color-coordinated page tabs for easy access between chapters * a CD-ROM packaged with each Manual containing printable copies of each of the book's 45 Staging Forms for both individual and institutional use * a comprehensive index The Sixth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual and Handbook remains the essential reference for oncologists, pathologists, surgeons, cancer registrars, and medical professionals worldwide to assure that all those taking care of cancer patients will be trained in the language of cancer staging
