SynopsisIn illustrated diary format, the hilarious tale of a boy who is a rugby master--not Marcus is a math whiz who is not good at sports. But his dad, a self-help author, is convinced otherwise. He believes that Marcus can achieve anything he sets his mind to--with hilarious results. Flints gentle, satiric humor and comic drawings will have readers laughing out loud while learning a surprising amount about rugby., This concise, bench-side atlas provides up-to-date information on hematologic cellular morphology. Over 400 photographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies. Introductory chapters succinctly describe the peripheral blood smear, its preparation and examination, and hematopoiesis in general. The chapters on cellular maturation include schematics that illustrate the maturation of each cell line individually and highlight the cell in question. Numerous illustrations such as, excellent schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs are found in every chapter, visually enhancing descriptions of hematologic cellular morphology. Descriptive text accompanies each cell type that includes size, reference intervals, and nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics. A schematic overview of hematopoiesis, along with a detailed presentation of each cell, demonstrates the relationship between individual stages of hematopoiesis and the overall developmental scheme. Chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes present morphologic abnormalities, along with a description of each cell, in a schematic fashion to provide correlations to various disease states. The most common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, are presented in the leukemia chapters to aid in classifying both malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders. A unique, new chapter on Body Fluids covers other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens. A new white blood cell differential table shows all cells found in a normal white blood cell differential in one convenient location. A New lay-flat spiral binding makes this streamlined text extremely user-friendly in the laboratory setting., This concise atlas provides authoritative, up-to-date coverage of clinical hematology where you need it most -- at the microscope. Over 400 photomicrographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies. Clinical Hematology Atlas provides complete, practical hematology coverage, along with unparalleled descriptions and images of cellular morphology -- all in one convenient bench-side reference!
