The
book has been divided into three sections. The first section includes chapters
describing the immunological and coagulation-assisting functions of red blood
cells and methods to measure their life span. The second section discusses the
role of platelets in inflammatory processes. The third section reviews
functional dose of RBC transfusions and transfusion practice in various clinical
settings.
This
book aims to provide an overview of current knowledge pertaining to our
understanding of hematology. The main subject areas will include blood cell
morphology and function, the pathophysiology and genetics of hematological
disorders and malignancies, blood testing and typing, and the processes
governing hematopoiesis.
The
primary objective of this book is to provide the specialists involved in the
clinical management and experimental research in hematological diseases with
comprehensive and concise information on some important theoretical and
practical developments in the biology, clinical assessment, and treatment of
patients, as well as on some molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms and the
respective translation into novel therapies.
