Book SynopsisGuiding us to better communication about illness, treatment, and health through simple art practicesLiving at the intersection of medicine and art, medical illustration is a field that is not well understood by most—especially by physicians and other healthcare practitioners. In this comprehensive and practical guide to medical illustration, pediatric surgeon François I. Luks provides a useful overview of the field and explains its essential function in facilitating true communication between healthcare providers and their patients. MedSpeak Illuminated: The Art and Practice of Medical Illustration begins with a history of the field, including some of its historical controversies and darker aspects, such as the relative lack of diversity in medical illustrations. Currently, Luks asserts, an increased recognition that medical illustration has long been complicit in promoting a single (white, male) view of health and disease has begun to result in changes to practice and content. He argues that increasing diversity and equity—in illustration and among illustrators—is ultimately good for our health. As he moves forward to describe its place in our current healthcare systems and educational programs, Luks also points to the scientific breakthroughs specifically made by illustrators. In addition, he highlights trends in medical education that emphasize humanism and compassion, thus making the need for better methods of communication even more urgent. MedSpeak Illuminated offers simple advice and techniques that can be followed by even the nonartists among us to use illustration in medical settings as part of our conversations. Like the illuminated manuscripts of old, MedSpeak Illuminated provides visual components for better and deeper understanding, an invaluable resource for students, practitioners, and all those committed to becoming better communicators and more caring professionals.Trade Review"In this insightful and engaging book, Dr. Luks weaves together the history of medicine and art to describe the deep connections between the two fields and their contributions to the modern practice of biomedical visualization. This combination of historical grounding and real-world application makes MedSpeak Illuminated a unique and essential resource for all interested in medical illustration as a profession and as a means of communication."—Jill K. Gregory, president-elect, Association of Medical Illustrators"There is only one person who could have written MedSpeak Illuminated and that is the master surgeon and accomplished artist François Luks. A must-read for every medical professional—and everyone with an interest in exceptional, informative, and entertaining writing. This is a true magnum opus." —G. Wayne Miller, author of King of Hearts: The True Story of the Maverick Who Pioneered Open Heart Surgery"Very few people have the breadth of knowledge and practical experience to write on the intersection of seemingly disparate fields of art, medicine, history, science, graphic arts, and communication. Not surprisingly, there is a paucity of informative text in this multi-disciplinary arena of medical illustration. This book is a tour de force that amalgamates all these fields, not only from a historical perspective, but more importantly, as a genuine handbook of usable art and graphic techniques for both the artist and clinical practitioner. With rich illustrations, François Luks coherently explores the vast life-science specialties that medical/scientific illustration touches—all in effortless prose. This book should be a staple on the bookshelf of every biomedical communicator, clinician, and medical historian." —Ian Suk, professor of neurosurgery and art as applied to medicine, Johns Hopkins University"Through crystal-clear writing and a wealth of illustrations, MedSpeak Illuminated beautifully demonstrates the braided connection between medicine and scientific visualization. Never pedantic, always engaging, Luks's genial tone belies his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the history of medicine and of medical illustration—from bloodletting to MRIs, from medieval woodcuts to the 3D rendering of SARS-CoV-2. An accomplished surgeon and born teacher, he convincingly—and entertainingly—makes the case that effective communication is the beating heart of both medical illustration and the art of medicine." —Sarah C. Baldwin, former director of communications, the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University"Dr. François Luks, a skilled surgeon, talented artist, and supreme humanist, is a one-of-a-kind ambassador to the art of healing. MedSpeak Illuminated is more than a book about medical illustration. It challenges us to look deeply at the human body and think differently about how we appreciate, understand, and connect with others." —Jay Baruch, author of Fourteen Stories: Doctors, Patients, and Other Strangers

Book SynopsisProvides 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, cellTrade Review"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)Table of ContentsPreface xxx 1 Molecular Biology of the Cell 2 Hematopoiesis 3 Growth Factor Signaling 4 Erythropoiesis and Examination of the Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow 5 Hypochromic Anemias 6 The Porphyrias and Iron Overload 7 Megaloblastic Anemias 8 Hemolytic Anemias 9 Genetic Disorders of Hemoglobin 10 Benign Disorders of Phagocytes 11 Benign Disorders of Lymphocytes and Plasma Cells 12 Aplastic and Dyserythropoietic Anemias 13 The Hematologic Neoplasms: Laboratory Techniques and Acute Myeloid Leukemia 14 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia 15 Myelodysplastic Syndromes 16 Myeloproliferative Neoplasms 17 Mastocytosis, Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasms with Eosinophilia and Specific Cytogenetic Rearrangements, Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms 18 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Other Mature B- and T/Nk-Cell Leukemias 19 Small B-Cell Lymphomas 20 Aggressive Mature B-Cell Neoplasms 21 Myeloma and Related Neoplasms 22 Peripheral T- and NK-Cell Neoplasms 23 Hodgkin Lymphoma 24 Histiocytic Disorders 25 Stem Cell Transplantation 26 Normal Hemostasis, Platelet Production and Function 27 Vascular and Platelet Bleeding Disorders 28 Inherited and Acquired Coagulation Disorders 29 Thrombosis and Antithrombotic Therapy 30 Hematologic Aspects of Systemic Diseases 31 Parasitic Disorders 32 Blood Transfusion Appendix 1 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Lymphoid and Myeloid Neoplasms Index xxx
