Bain delivers a robust guide for use in the diagnostic hematology laboratory, covering methods of collection of blood specimens, blood film preparation and staining, the principles of manual and automated blood counts, and the assessment of the morphological features of blood cells. The book functions well as both a straightforward and practical bench manual and as a reference source for practicing hematologists. It has been completely updated to incorporate newly published information and 400 high-quality photographs to aid in blood cell identification. The text is comprehensive and fully supported by references. A companion website contains multiple-choice questions to aid the reader in retaining the information contained within. While the book provides additional guidance on further tests that should be performed for specific provisional diagnoses, the main focus of the text remains on microscopy and the automated full blood count. It also contains: A thorough introduction to blood sampling and blood film preparation and examination, as well as performance of blood countsComprehensive exploration of the morphology of blood cells, detecting erroneous blood counts, and normal rangesPractical discussions of quantitative changes in blood cells and important supplementary testsIn-depth examinations of disorders of red blood cells, white blood cells and plateletsReview of the morphological features of blood parasites Perfect for practicing haematologists and haematology trainees, Blood Cells: A Practical Guide will also earn a place in the libraries of biomedical scientists working in laboratory settings. Many laboratories worldwide regard it as an essential bench book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Companion Website x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Blood sampling and blood film preparation and examination 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Performing a blood count 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Morphology of blood cells 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Detecting erroneous blood counts 198\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Normal ranges 222\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Quantitative changes in blood cells 244\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Important supplementary tests 301\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Disorders of red cells and platelets 316\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Disorders of white cells 461\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 539\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49396207255895,"sku":"9781119820277","price":98.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119820277.jpg?v=1730415101","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/blood-cells-9781119820277","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
