This is a practical bench manual for junior postgraduates training in haematology and for MLSOs (Medical Laboratory Scientific Officers). It provides a distillation of laboratory haematology. Each blood test is described in detail and accompanied by an explanation of the principle involved, its clinical significance, causes of error, interpretation of results and the advantages and limitations of the method. This approach makes it ideal for junior staff and for more senior staff needing information on unfamiliar tests. This edition has been fully updated to take account of developments since 1984 (previous edition published) and there are additional sections on: reference ranges and normal values; laboratory organization; quality assurance; differential leucocyte count; leucocyte cytochemical and immunological techniques.

This text describes the laboratory techniques used in the investigation of patients with blood diseases. Each test that is described is accompanied by an explanation of the principle involved, the reliability and causes of error, interpretation of results and clinical significance. The use of standards, reference reagents and quality control is stressed, and recommendations of the International Council for Standardization in Haematology are described where these are available. The book has been updated, and there is a new chapter on DNA technology, including antenatal diagnosis of blood disorders. The chapters on haemostasis, serology and laboratory aspects of blood transfusion have been revised. Recent developments in blood-cell counters and automation are described. With three now in full colour, it should provide the user with a useful account of laboratory techniques and aid accurate interpretation of results.

This comprehensive text on the morphology of bone and bone  marrow biopsies describes the features that are likely to be  encountered in trephine biopsies in various pathologic conditions. Its  coverage reflects important advances in surgical trephine biopsy  technique, particularly the development of improved methods of plastic  embedding of tissue. These methods, pioneered by one of the authors of  this book, have made it possible to prepare semi-thin and undecalcified  sections of bone marrow that reveal cytological detail previously  unobtainable.  The book systematically covers the diagnosis of bone and  bone marrow histology, with emphasis on findings in iliac crest  biopsies. After describing the normal histology of the bone and bone  marrow, the authors detail the features of various pathologic  conditions. Coverage encompasses the wide range of disorders in  hematology, oncology, internal medicine, and osteology for which  investigation by bone marrow biopsy is indicated. In addition, the  authors consider the uses of bone and bone marrow biopsy for exploring  the pathogenesis of cancer metastases, the stimulus of cytotoxicity,  and other fundamental aspects of cellular biology. Numerous  high-quality black-and-white and color illustrations enhance and  clarify the text, and an appendix gives full details of biopsy  procedures and histological staining and sectioning methods.
