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
