Springer International Publishing AG Handbook of Lymphoma
Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Lymphoma is an in-depth and comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, staging, treatment, and management of patients with the disease. The Handbook aims to provide healthcare professionals with an informative and up-to-date guide to the latest developments in the treatment of patients with both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system and, as with other cancers, is a disease of the body's cells. Usually, cells divide in the body in an orderly and controlled manner, however when this process gets out of control and the cells carry on dividing in an abnormal manner a tumor can form known as lymphoma in one or more groups of lymph nodes. This field has seen increasing development in the available options for treating patients with lymphoma particularly in the recent emergence and approval of targeted therapies. In this clinically focused Handbook, the authors address these advances by looking at treatment recommendations for both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and also making suggestions on the future outlook for patients with this disease. This Handbook is an invaluable and educational source of topical information for all medical and healthcare professionals with an interest in lymphoma.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Risk factors, etiology, and pathogenesis.- World Health Organization classification.- Staging.- Treatment overview.- Treatment of B-cell lymphomas.- Treatment of T-cell lymphomas.- Treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.- Management of human immunodeficiency virus-associated lymphomas

Springer International Publishing AG Transfusion Management of the Obstetrical
Book SynopsisThis clinical casebook covers transfusion medicine theory and its practical implications for the obstetrical hemorrhage patient through the presentation of cases on actively bleeding patients. Each case features a unique clinical scenario involving a bleeding patient and outlines different aspects of safe and effective transfusion support. The cases contain current evidence on the latest topics in the field, such as the use of antifibrinolytic agents and coagulation factor concentrates in the setting of massive obstetrical hemorrhage. In addition to the actively bleeding patient, the casebook includes other important management topics, including the role of plasma exchange in thrombotic microangiopathies during pregnancy; treatment of hyperhemolysis in a patient with hemoglobinopathy; and recommended management of patients with red cell antibodies found on prenatal testing. Other immunohematology topics such as post-natal management of an RhD negative woman for the prevention of hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-Rh(D) are included.Written by transfusion medicine, coagulation, obstetrical, and anesthesiology experts, Transfusion Management of the Obstetrical Patient: A Clinical Casebook is a concise yet comprehensive resource for anesthesiologists, obstetricians, pathologists, hematologists, and other practitioners who treat obstetrical hemorrhage patients.Trade Review“The book is particularly well suited for a senior resident, fellow, or an attending starting out who is caring for patients in labor. Other obstetrical and/or anesthesia providers including medical students and junior residents will also benefit from the book … . casebook by Nester summarizes current evidence and can be used as a ‘starter kit’ for those who wish to integrate and enhance their specific transfusion-related knowledge into the management of obstetrical care using a multifaceted approach.” (Yao Zhang, Danran Zhou and Jie Zhou, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (3), September 2019)“This pocket-sized, softcover casebook is a jewel. Short, concise, clear, and current with contemporary practice … . For attention deficit-afflicted readers, the clinical pearls/pitfalls sections are pithy, rich in wisdom and experience, and well suited to memorization and quick implementation in daily practice. I would highly recommend it to providers in obstetrics training or practice and to those early in their laboratory medicine or clinical laboratory science training to gain a ‘holistic’ understanding of transfusion for obstetrical patients.” (Valerie L.

Book Synopsis, For the most part we. the haemophiliacs present at this Congress. have come from the great metropolitan centres with their advanced medical and social programmes for sufferers of haemophilia. We. the fortunate from the haemophilia oasis. have much to learn from each other. This is important. but even more important is the urgency to convey your knowledge. your skills. your experience and your dedication to the haemophiliacs in the desert: 'We can only begin to understand the condition. the life of a sufferer. by comparing him to a soldier in the trenches of World War I. In the trenches the soldier seldom forgets that the next moment may bring death or crippling. The haemophiliac is literally in the trenches. The soldier may be spared injury. but pain awaits the haemophiliac. Fear. moreover, is paramount to the pain. As in the trenches. the anxiety can be more oppressive than the wound. Waiting to go over the top imposes a greater strain than the actual charge.
