Neonatal Haematology: A Practical Guide

Autor Irene Roberts, Barbara J. Bain
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2022
Neonatal Haematology This unique handbook contains comprehensive coverage of neonatal haematology and aids diagnosis via high-quality images, diagnostic algorithms, case studies, and tables. With illustrations accompanying the diagnosis at each stage and clear explanations provided throughout, the book is ideal for trainees and experts alike. Authored by two of the world's leading haematologists, Professor Irene Roberts and Professor Barbara Bain, this book provides a depth of knowledge that is unequalled in other texts. To aid in reader comprehension, it is neatly organised by clinical problems and covers sample topics such as: * Red cells: morphology, membrane, enzymes, and changes over the first 4 weeks of life * Haemolytic anaemias: causes of neonatal haemolysis, diagnostic clues, and immune haemolysis (haemolytic disease of the newborn) * Neonatal anaemia due to blood loss: causes of blood loss, diagnostic clues, feto-maternal haemorrhage, and twin-to-twin transfusion * Haematological signs of neonatal infection: causes of neutrophil left shift, leucoerythroblastosis, and toxic granulation Paediatric haematologists, consultant haematologists, and trainees in haematology can use the succinct, well-written content in this book as a useful helping hand during consultation. Biomedical scientists will also value the work as a laboratory reference.

Descriere

This unique handbook, with comprehensive coverage of neonatal haematology, aids diagnosis with multiple high quality images, diagnostic algorithms, case studies, and tables. With previously unpublished illustrations accompanying the diagnosis at each stage and clear explanations, the book is for trainees and experts alike.

Authored by the world's leading haematologists Professor Irene Roberts and Professor Barbara Bain, this book provides a depth of knowledge that is unequalled. The book is organised by clinical problems over three sections:

- Infection and leukocyte

- Anemias and Jaundice

- Thrombocytopenias and bleeding disorders

Offering a practical resource with helpful diagnostic algorithms, tables, and cases, the book includes normal and abnormal presentations and covers common and rare disorders.

Neonatal Haematology provides succinct, well-written content perfect for consultation. This brand new book will be an essential tool for all haematologists for years to come.


Notă biografică

Irene Roberts is Emeritus Professor of Paediatric Haematology at the Department of Paediatrics and MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, University of Oxford. She was formerly Professor of Paediatric Haematology at Imperial College London and Honorary Consultant Paediatric Haematologist at St Mary's and Hammersmith Hospitals, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust where she established a neonatal haematology diagnostic service based on daily evaluation of peripheral blood films over several decades. Her research focuses on the molecular and biological characteristics of blood disorders in the fetus and early childhood particularly in Down syndrome. Barbara J. Bain is a Professor of Diagnostic Haematology at St Mary's Hospital Campus, Imperial College Faculty of Medicine. She is also a Consultant Haematologist at St Mary's Hospital, London, UK. Her research has been focused on morphology of blood cells, ethnic and biological differences in haematological variables and cytogenetics and molecular genetics in relation to haematological malignancy. She has collaborated with numerous experts in the field and contributed to the WHO Classification of Tumours of Haemopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues.
