Review

“Completely revised to reflect the latest research in the field, this edition continues to provide trainees with up-to-date knowledge on the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, and management of blood disorders. It covers the significant advances which have occurred in the application of cytogenetics and molecular genetics in the diagnosis, classification and understanding of haematological disorders .” (TMCnet.com, 8 December 2010)

Quotes from review in the New England Journal of Medicine

“Hoffbrand, Catovsky, and Tuddenham have managed to bring together a new edition (the fifth) of Postgraduate Haemotology in every chapter of which the reader finds very good, updated discussions…”

“The editors have asked outstanding experts in every field to write new chapters or update previously included chapters.”

“Most hematologists need a revised and practical textbook in which they can rapidly search on the morning of a consultation………This book will be an important resource in such situations.”

Quotes from review in the European Journal of Haematology

“…revised and transformed to appear today as the fifth edition of a modern and fully updated source of information for haematologist in training and consultants.”

“The book reflects the many and challenging professional aspects of being a specia-list in blood disorders. Reading the book as part of the postgraduate education and using the book as a readily accessible source of information will definitely contri-bute to confirm doctors in training and consultants why it is right to choose and practice haematology.”

This book provides an up- to- date summary of many advances in our understanding of anemia, including its causes and pathogenesis, methods of diagnosis, and the morbidity and mortality associated with it. Special attention is paid to the anemia of chronic disease. Nutritional causes of anemia, especially in developing countries, are discussed. Also presented are anemias related to pregnancy, the fetus and the newborn infant.

Thus this book provides a wide coverage of anemia which should be useful to those involved in many fields of anemia from basic researchers to epidemiologists to clinical practitioners.

This book provides a comprehensive review of deep vein thrombosis. There are chapters on risk factors for DVT, post thrombotic syndrome and its management, vena cava malformation as a new etiological factor and thrombosis in the upper limbs. DVT is usually seen in patients undergoing major surgeries.

The guidelines for thrombo-prophylaxis in orthopaedic patients, radical pelvic surgeries, laparoscopic operations and risks versus benefits in regions with a low prevalence of DVT are thoroughly addressed. Cancer and its treatment are recognized risk factors for VTE and extended prophylaxis in ambulatory cancer patients is reviewed. The role of imaging and endovascular therapies in acute DVT, hypercoagulabilty in liver diseases and the challenges in developing countries are discussed.
