District Laboratory Practice in Tropical Countries, vol 2

This is a condensed, concise, and highly informative book on recommended microbiology, hematology and transfusion medicine laboratory practice. It is amazingly complete — ranging from preanalytical issues (specimen handling, volunteer blood donation) to detailed methods (including how to make Pasteur pipettes from glass tubing!) to clinical interpretation of relevant laboratory test results. A nice feature is the 20 pages of color photomicrographs (peripheral blood) and other illustrative plates (various microbiology tests — bacterial colonies, rapid tests including membrane-based ones) which are of wonderfully high quality and educational value. I especially enjoyed the remarkably thorough 11 chapters covering all aspects of hematology — anemia, hemoglobin variants, coagulation, leukemia, etc.— in just 80 pages. Another nice feature is the appendixes — appendix I contains recipes for bacterial culture media, and appendix II contains useful addresses for manufacturers and suppliers of laboratory reagents and supplies. The only drawback to this book is the glaring absence of information on topics covered in Part 1. After leafing through this book, I must admit that I began to consider replacing my many books on microbiology, hematology and transfusion medicine with just this volume, as well as to think about reviewing current practice in these areas in my own laboratory to identify those which could be performed at lower cost and labor, yet maintaining the same high level of quality!

Flow cytometry in hematopathology : a visual approach to

The organization is very similar to the first edition. Five major sections cover general considerations for flow cytometry, practical issues affecting data analysis and interpretation, flow analysis of "nearly homogeneous" samples, analysis of "heterogeneous" samples, and interpretation and reporting. What I like most about this book is the heavy emphasis on visual interpretation. Scattergram after scattergram is presented, with target populations circled or highlighted in color. This approach quickly educates the reader to zeroing in on key diagnostic patterns. The CD-ROM contains 100 case studies — flowcytometry plus Wright-Giemsa stained aspirate smears with or without H&E biopsy preps. What a great way to put a case together! A source of excellent teaching material already put together in nice compact case studies, no less! Throughout the book there are references to the relevant case material on the CD-ROM. The disease discussions nicely summarize conventional versus aberrant flow cytometric findings by various disease states. The updates in this edition include the use of TCR-Vb reagents for diagnosing mature T-cell disorders, and the uses of DRAQ5, a DNA dye, for improved lymphoma grading.

Blood Cells: A Practical Guide

Blood Cells has been written with both the practising haematologist and the trainee in mind. It aims to provide a guide for use in the diagnostic haematology laboratory, covering methods of collection of blood specimens, blood film preparation and staining, the principles of manual and automated blood counts and the assessment of the morphological features of blood cells. The practising haematologist should find this book sufficiently comprehensive to be a reference source while, at the same time, the trainee haematologist and biomedical scientist should find it a straightforward and practical bench manual.Enables both the haematologist and laboratory scientist to identify blood cell features, from the most common to the more obscure ...
