Clinical Hematology Atlas by
An excellent companion to Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles & Applications, this atlas is ideal for helping you accurately identify cells at the microscope. It offers complete coverage of the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, basic maturation of the blood cell lines, and discussions of a variety of clinical disorders. Over 400 photomicrographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs visually clarify hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies. Normal Newborn Peripheral Blood Morphology chapter covers the unique normal cells found in neonatal blood. A variety of high-quality schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs visually reinforce your understanding of hematologic cellular morphology. Spiral binding and compact size make this book easy to use in a laboratory setting. Coverage of common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, aids in classifying malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders. Morphologic abnormalities are presented in chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a schematic description of each cell, to provide correlations to various disease states. Body Fluids chapter covers the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens. Updated information on the subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) helps you recognize variant forms of CLL you may encounter in the lab.
Jump-Starting a Career in Medical Technology by
In hospitals and clinics, there are people who, among other thing, take X-rays, MRIs, CAT-scans, and ultrasounds. And there are those who repair that same equipment. There are also people who work in research laboratories, veterinary offices, and dental and ophthalmology offices. All of these people work in the field of medical technology. Readers will get a detailed description of some of these jobs as well as a selection of in-depth personal interviews with people who are currently employed in the industry. They will find out what education they'll need, how to find a job, and how to climb the health-care ladder as a medical technology professional.
