Non Neoplastic Hematopathology And Infections

Most books on hematopathology are neoplastic in scope and offer little non-neoplastic content. In Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections, the authors fully describe the hematologic manifestations in tissue and blood of infectious agents, including many rare and exotic diseases found in both Western and Eastern hemispheres, in order to assist pathologists and medical laboratory professionals all over the world in better diagnosing and treating such infections. Thoroughly illustrated with photographs, tables and text, this book features a wide range of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders, as well as reactive patterns of non-infectious and infectious agents. Comprehensive and state-of-the-art diagnostic materials are described, as are the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical and pathologic manifestations in blood and lymphatic organs—as well as the approaches to treatment. In addition, Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections: Contains detailed information on the pathology and patterns of blood, lymph node, and a number of bone marrow and splenic infections and infectious agent manifestations Thoroughly updates the classic pathology of reactive lymphadenopathies and extends this pattern-based approach to tropical and emergent infections Promotes the multidisciplinary integration of hematopathologists and microbiologists in the analysis and diagnostic work-up of tissue and blood Complements current major treatises on such tropical diseases as Manson's, Ashworth's, and Doerr's and updates the classic tomes of William St. Clair Symmers and current texts on neoplastic hematopathology Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections is an important book for any medical professional interested in non-neoplastic hematology, infections and tissue hematopathology, infectious diseases and tropical medicine, and tropical hematopathology.

We envision trainees using this text to review non-neoplastic hematopathology and coagulation as they prepare for their Pathology and Hematopathology Board exams. Our book is based upon the American Board of Pathology's hematopathology exam blueprint, thereby, having all the content in one place to succeed in your exams. The highlights of the book are: -Pointwise format for easy understanding. -High-quality photomicrographs. -Numerous illustrations, tables, and charts for visual learners. Read what hematopathology experts are saying about this book! L Jeffrey Medeiros, MD Professor and Chair of Hematopathology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX "Ace the Boards is an exceptional resource for residents and fellows seeking to conceptualize difficult hematopathology topics. The illustrations, images, descriptive charts, and high-yield outline format provides the reader with the tools they will need to excel both in training and on their Board exams." Julie Feldstein, MD, FCAP Professor of Pathology, Director of Hematopathology division Mount Sinai Health System, New York, NY "In a Nutshell: Simple, concise, nice graphics; a much-needed resource for our trainees. Ace the Boards: Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Coagulation is a must have study guide and reading resource." Genevieve Crane, MD, PhD Staff Hematopathologist Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH "Stunning, illustration-rich guide to help quickly master complex and high-yield topics in hematopathology. Thoughtful artwork makes the material engaging and memorable. An awesome and much-needed resource!" Chandra Krishnan, MD Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, Austin, TX @Hematogones "Ace the Boards provides a very organized and thoughtful presentation of hematopathology that would make a great reference for residents and fellows alike. The pictures and figures are very nicely done and help the reader through complex topics in hematopathology." Sanam Longhavi, MD Assistant Professor, Department of Hematopathology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX "Great resource for trainees interested in broadening their knowledge of hematopathology." To provide a reference text that would assimilate all the relevant information, we attempted to create a high-yield, comprehensive book which touched on all the relevant aspects of non-neoplastic hematopathology and coagulation. In it, the reader will be able to easily navigate outlines, original illustrations, and photomicrographs that will help solidify difficult topics and provide a quick resource for revision. We sincerely hope that our passion and enthusiasm for each subject will be reflected throughout this text and that the readers will find it helpful - not only for their Board exams but also during hematopathology rotations. We welcome the input of our readers as we embark on this journey of learning and hope to incorporate their valuable feedback in our future editions. We wish you the greatest success as you study for the Boards! Ace my Path team.

This book provides questions and answers to test readers' knowledge of hematopathology and coagulation, for use when preparing for the American Board of Pathology exams.

This book is designed not as a comprehensive textbook, but instead as a short practical guide to diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues. Concise and easy to read, this text provides essential information in a bulleted text format. This simple format was chosen to provide essential information that may quickly be reviewed at the microscope. Each single-page entry begins with a brief one-line Snapshot description, followed by short descriptions of important clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features, and ending with Caveats and Pearls and Differential Diagnosis. In most cases, entries are accompanied by a few high-quality histologic images. To keep the text concise, recommended texts and recent review articles are cited in the bibliography at the end of the book. To help quickly find alternative diagnoses, the index cross-references all differential diagnoses. The Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Hematopathology should be of use to practicing hematopathologists (academic and private) and hematologic oncologists, as well as trainees (fellows) in hematopathology and hematologic oncology.

This updated reference has been prepared by the world's leaders in neoplastic hematopathology, a field that covers disorders of the bone marrow, spleen, and lymphatic system. This is the only comprehensive, encyclopedic text that covers the three major organ systems and integrates basic science, modern diagnostic techniques, and clinical aspects of malignant diseases affecting these organs. The Second Edition features several new contributors, more full-color illustrations, updated chapters, and three new chapters--Clinical Relevance of the Revised European/American Lymphoma Classification of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas; Normal Histology and Immunoarchitecture of the Lymphohematopoietic System; and Application of Molecular Genetics to the Diagnosis and Classification of Acute Leukemias. Compatibility: BlackBerry(R) OS 4.1 or Higher / iPhone/iPod Touch 2.0 or Higher /Palm OS 3.5 or higher / Palm Pre Classic / Symbian S60, 3rd edition (Nokia) / Windows Mobile(TM) Pocket PC (all versions) / Windows Mobile Smartphone / Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista/Tablet PC

Fulfilling the void with a Hematopathology book that integrates clinical and experimental studies with diagnostic criteria, Neoplastic Hematopathology: Experimental and Clinical Approaches provides an overview of the discipline of hematopathology that connects the field with recent advances in immunology research and current clinical practice in the treatment of lymphomas and leukemias. Designed for both trainees and specialists in pathology and hematology-oncology, Neoplastic Hematopathology: Experimental and Clinical Approaches has separate sections on laboratory techniques, diagnostic hematopathology, treatment and stem cell transplantation. Expert chapter authors address both myeloid and lymphoid tumors, and provide much needed coverage in transplant biology. A study guide highlights key chapter points, making the text suitable for boards review in hematopathology and hematology-oncology.
