Book Description:
Blood substitutes are solutions designed for use in patients who need blood transfusions, but for whom whole blood is not available, or is not safe. This interest has intensified in the wake of the AIDS and hepatitis C epidemics. Blood Substitutes describes the rationale, current approaches, clinical efficacy, and design issues for all blood substitutes now in clinical trials. The many summary diagrams and tables help make the book accessible to readers such as surgeons and blood bankers, who have less technical expertise than the biochemists and hematologists who are designing and testing blood substitutes.
* Includes chapters necessary to the understanding of blood substitutes, including history, toxicity, physiology, and clinical applications
* Presents detailed descriptions of the various products that have been developed and have advanced to clinical trials, and some that are in earlier states of development

Book Description:
The use of Epo in medical practice is increasing constantly. It has revolutionized how we think of blood transfusion in medicine and surgery. Moreover, it has become widely known to scientists, physicians, biotech and pharmaceutical executives and the general public. Additionally, the past ten years have seen important advances in our knowledge and understanding of its action both within and outside of the hematopoietic system.
Until now, there has been no single source that contains up-to-date information on Epo addressing the array of subjects that this book presents.
The book covers all aspects from developmental biology to specific topics such as medical applications of recombinant Epo, receptor biology, mechanisms of Epo activity, structure/activity relationship, disease states and important actions on non-hematopoietic organs and tissues, including the central nervous system, heart, gastrointestinal tract, reproductive organs and endothelium.

Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
Coagulation testing is the basis for the diagnosis of bleeding and thrombotic disorders, as well as the mainstay of anti-coagulant monitoring and management. The laboratory director requires significant expertise to manage the coagulation laboratory. This expertise includes the selection, validation and harmonization of analyzer/reagent combinations across health care organizations that often include physician offices, point of care testing, hospital laboratories and shared core laboratories.
Pathologists are often responsible for managing a healthcare system’s coagulation testing, yet the basics of managing a coagulation laboratory are inadequately addressed in many, if not most, pathology residency training programs. In addition, there is no textbook to which residents or practicing pathologists can refer for assistance. The same can be said for medical technologists or non-pathologist clinicians who find themselves in charge of a coagulation laboratory.
This handbook will address the need among practicing pathologists, laboratory supervisors/managers, pathology trainees and clinicians for a straightforward reference for managing a hemostasis laboratory and coordinating testing across multiple locations and technologies. The handbook format will allow quick reference to specific topics and be useful for answering specific questions or for Board exam review. The full spectrum of coagulation testing, basics of methodology and instrumentation, and the responsibilities of the laboratory director will be covered.

Book Description:
Platelets are fragments of blood cells that occur in the blood of vertebrates and are associated with blood clotting. Scientists have made great strides in recent years in understanding what stimulates platelets to form blood clots at the molecular level and in developing drugs to inhibit platelet action. Their work has a direct effect on millions of people who deal with cardiovascular disease, strokes, surgery, physical trauma, and other conditions. While references to platelet function have been included in some large texts, there has not been a basic reference manual that researchers and clinicians can use in their daily work until now.
Platelet Protocols fills the need for a straightforward and comprehensive laboratory manual on current procedures for evaluating and analyzing platelet function and abnormalities. It is an easy-to-read, understandable resource which can be kept at the bench and referred to frequently by scientists, clinicians, and laboratory staff involved in platelet related areas. Topics range from the basics of anticoagulants to the latest developments in platelet testing.
Key Features
Includes:
* A basic introduction to platelet anatomy and physiology
* Testing procedures for new anti-platelet therapies
* Descriptions of platelet function abnormalities
* Therapeutic approaches to inhibition of platelet function
* Step-by-step methodologies with clear explanations
* Helpful appendixes of recipes, instructions, sources of reagents, and more

Platelets have long been the subject of much investigation in the areas of vascular physiology, biochemistry, immunology and physiopathology. Their ability to react to environmental stimuli, to modify their shape and metabolism despite being anuclear, has fascinated scientists.
This volume looks specifically at the involvement of blood platelets outside their 'classical' field of application, in the physiopathological mechanics of allergy and inflammation. The coverage includes the role of platelets in bacterial, parasitic and viral diseases and in tumour cell interactions.

Reviewed by : Drew Provan, MD Department of Haematology The Royal London Hospital London, England
The first thing I noticed when writing this review is that there is no publisher‚s name on the spine and it would appear that this publication has been partly sponsored by industry (Bayer). The reason for this probably lies in the fact that the book is highly unusual and not written in the typical hematology Œmold‚. What makes this book so different? Well, the authors somewhat ambitiously have decided to concentrate specifically on the mechanisms of disease and take us through the whole gamut of hematology from stem cells, malignancies, non-malignant diseases and blood transfusion. Most hematology texts cover much the same ground but sometimes, when reading mainstream hematology texts, it is difficult for readers to understand why patients and diseases have particular clinical features. Israel and Israel provide us with the core basic science which underpins modern hematology practice.
The book is divided into 31 chapters each of which can be read as a standalone section. The text is clear and is printed in a fairly large font size (which should help the more myopic senior hematologists). The book is not lavishly illustrated but there is certainly an adequate number of images which are very well drawn and complement the text nicely. The diagrams would also be very useful for teaching, and no doubt the CD-ROM allows the images to be imported into PowerPoint (although my review copy did not have the CD-ROM included). Each chapter has the feeling of a succinct lecture which provides all the necessary information to allow the reader to progress and to understand more complex hematology texts.
The authors are aiming this book at the senior student and trainee hematologist, as well as those of us involved in teaching. I think their approach is novel and ambitious and will suit the intended market. The problem, of course, is that there are several other student hematology texts around, some of which are extremely good, and this book faces fierce competition. Possibly their strong emphasis on basic science may make this volume popular with students; I would presume it has already found a niche in the US since this is the third edition since the initial publication in 1996.
Overall, I like this style of book and I admire the way the authors have shed the traditional style of student book writing and have focused on what matters, that is, the science behind the medicine. On a personal note, I am optimistic that this book will help liven up my own teaching material.
