Clinical Hematology Atlas - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource, 5th Edition

• Schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs are found in every chapter to visually enhance understanding of hematologic cellular morphology.
• Smaller trim size, concise text, and spiral binding make it easy to reference the atlas in the laboratory.
• Chapter on normal newborn peripheral blood morphology covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood.
• Chapter on body fluids illustrates the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens.
• The most common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, are featured in the leukemia chapters to help classify both malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders.
• Chapter featuring morphologic changes after myeloid hematopoietic growth factors is included in the text.
• Morphologic abnormalities are covered in the chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a description of each cell, in a schematic fashion.
• User resources on the Evolve companion site feature review questions and summary tables to further enhance their learning experience.

• NEW! Appendix with comparison tables of commonly confused cells includes lymphocytes versus neutrophilic myelocytes and monocytes versus reactive lymphoctyes to help users see the subtle differences between them.
• NEW! Glossary of hematologic terms at the end of the book provides a quick reference to easily look up definitions.
