Recenzje

"I highly recommend Morphology of Blood Disorders for hematologists, hemopathologists and clinical laboratory professionals, both as a training instrument and a reference tool...The two authors, Giuseppe D’Onofrio and Gina Zini, both from Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy are recognized experts in the morphology of blood and bone marrow. They have teamed up with Prof. Barbara Bain, from Imperial College London, the foremost authority on morphology of blood elements, to produce an exceptionally well–illustrated and detailed textbook, covering both benign and malignant hematology. In many sections, blood morphology is accompanied by output data from hematology analyzers, providing an additional piece of the puzzle that most of the other textbooks on this matter have failed to adequately consider. Prof. Bain has captured the subtleties and nuances of the original Italian text and married them with an eloquent and incisive prose which beautifully describes both images and pathophysiology. A major strength of this textbook is the number and quality of the images as well as the detailed descriptions contained in the legends."(American Journal of Hematology, 21 September 2015)

Morphology of Blood Disorders, 2nd edition is an outstanding atlas with over 1,800 high–quality digital images, covering the whole spectrum of blood and bone marrow morphology, with particular emphasis on malignant haematology. Originally written in the Italian language by two world leaders in the field, the book has been expertly translated by the renowned haematologist and teacher, Barbara Bain.

Despite the enormous advances made in immunophenotyping, and in cytogenetic and molecular aspects of haematology, morphology of the blood and marrow remains fundamental to haematological diagnosis. This book explores the major topics of haematological pathology, blending classical teaching with up–to–date WHO classification and terminology. Images are derived from material obtained for diagnostic purposes from patients suffering from serious haematological conditions. Morphological details are supplemented by detailed descriptions of the output and role of automated instruments in disorders of the blood, supported by more than 50 images of the output of automated instruments.

Morphology of Blood Disorders, 2nd edition is an essential reference source for diagnosis in the haematology laboratory.
