This volume provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of
myeloid neoplasms. The book presents updated information on
epidemiology, clinical presentation, morphologic findings,
molecular genomic abnormalities, pathogenesis, and target
therapies. The text helps to guide accurate diagnosis, the
administration of appropriate ancillary molecular tests, patient
management, and investigative efforts. The book also includes over
200 illustrations, photographs, and tables. Written by experts in
the field, Precision Molecular Pathology of Myeloid Neoplasms
serves as a valuable resource for pathologists,
hematologists/oncologists, fellows, and researchers in
understanding the molecular pathology of myeloid neoplasms.

This book highlights the importance of the choroid plexus, which
forms the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and is the site of the
major production of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The authors show
that this barrier is crucial for maintaining important
compositional differences between the blood plasma and the CSF. The
choroid plexus epithelial cells also prevent the spread of
infectious agents and other blood-borne entities to the brain
tissue. Chapter topics range from the production of CSF by
electrolyte regulation in the choroid plexus, to details on the
selectively transporting nature of this barrier. Further, the
authors elaborate on the important roles of CSF in sustaining brain
health by providing hydration, solutes, and nutrients to the brain
tissue. Readers will also learn how CSF circulates signaling
molecules within the compartments of the brain and removes waste
products from the brain tissue. Elucidating the regulation of these
processes in the choroid plexus is not only important for the
readers' understanding of normal brain development and function,
but is also crucial for resolving a variety of cerebral challenges
that lead to brain edema, as well as developing treatments for
diseases. The book discusses disease models like hydrocephalus,
sleep disorders, and age-related dementia. Its comprehensive
coverage makes this volume a valuable resource for researchers in
cell and neurophysiology, as well as graduate students of the
neurosciences.
This volume discusses the current state of the nation's blood
supply?including studies of blood availability, ways of enhancing
blood collection and distribution, frozen red cell technology,
logistical concerns in prepositioning frozen blood, extended liquid
storage of red cells, and blood substitutes. Table of Contents

Fully revised throughout, the second edition of Manual of Stem Cell
and Bone Marrow Transplantation is based on the in-house handbook
used at the world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. It is a
practical pocket manual for all members of the stem cell and bone
marrow transplant team. Written by experts at Dana-Farber, the
contents are handily arranged in outline format for maximum
usefulness and convenience. This essential and user-friendly manual
covers all aspects of the transplantation process, from stem cell
processing through management of transplant-related complications.
Topics discussed thoroughly include evaluation and counselling of
patients and donors, preventative care, graft-versus-host disease
and conditioning regimens. A new extensive chapter on oral health
in stem cell transplantation has been added. These features make
the Manual of Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Transplantation an ideal
resource for the entire transplant team.
This textbook describes the biology of different adult stem cell
types and outlines the current level of knowledge in the field. It
clearly explains the basics of hematopoietic, mesenchymal and cord
blood stem cells and also covers induced pluripotent stem cells.
Further, it includes a chapter on ethical aspects of human stem
cell research, which promotes critical thinking and responsible
handling of the material. Based on the international masters
program Molecular and Developmental Stem Cell Biology taught at
Ruhr-University Bochum and Tongji University Shanghai, the book is
a valuable source for postdocs and researchers working with stems
cells and also offers essential insights for physicians and
dentists wishing to expand their knowledge. This textbook is a
valuable complement to Concepts and Applications of Stem Cell
Biology, also published in the Learning Materials in Biosciences
textbook series.
Easy to read. "Very easy to follow. Made it easy to understand
difficult topics!" - Amazon Reviewer I highly recommend this book.
"... straight forward and I would recommend this book to anyone
looking for a solid understanding of the most important concepts
behind the tests performed in a modern hematology laboratory. Some
textbooks today make it difficult for hematology students and lab
professionals alike to figure out what it is that they "really need
to know" to be effective and competent in the lab. Hematology in
Practice addresses exactly this problem. In addition, this book
will give a student an understanding that is more than good enough
to pass general and categorical licensing exams." - Michael B.,
Amazon Reviewer Basic principles of hematology made memorable.
Build a solid understanding of hematology in the context of
practical laboratory practice and principles. Visual language,
innovative case studies, role-playing troubleshooting cases, and
laboratory protocols bring laboratory practice to life. Superbly
organized, this reader-friendly text breaks a complex subject into
easy-to-follow, manageable sections. Begin with the basic
principles of hematology; discover red and white blood cell
disorders; journey through hemostasis and disorders of coagulation;
and then explore the procedures needed in the laboratory.
Presents an up-to-date treatment of research strategies, clinical
and commercial developments, and regulatory and economic issues
pertaining to the formulation of effective and safe red blood cell
substitutes. The text examines regulatory and socioeconomic aspects
of blood substitute products, and global tranfusion practices from
the perspective of blood banks and the US Food and Drug
Administrations. It also includes the mechanisms of action and
consequences of blood substitute administration.
