A comprehensive self-assessment program reviewing the molecular basis, clinical consultation, diagnosis, and management of malignant and benign hematologic disorders, including anemias, thrombosis, bleeding disorders, transfusion medicine, transplantation, leukemias, and lymphomas.
A concise summary of the diagnostic approach to hypercoagulable states, covering screening criteria for VTE, recurrent abortions, and thrombosis in unusual locations. It details the workup for inherited thrombophilia (Factor V Leiden, Protein C/S deficiency) and acquired causes (APLS, HIT, MPN, PNH), alongside acute and long-term anticoagulation strategies using Heparin, DOACs, Warfarin, and direct thrombin inhibitors.
A comprehensive overview of Sickle Cell Anemia (Hb SS disease), detailing the specific point mutation (glutamic acid to valine) leading to the abnormal hemoglobin structure. It explores the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, global incidence rates across various populations (African, Hispanic, Mediterranean), and outlines the common and rare complications associated with both the full disease and the generally asymptomatic Sickle Cell Trait, including renal complications and risks associated with high-altitude or exertion.
An introductory overview of the ABO/ABH blood group system, detailing the antigens and antibodies present in groups A, B, AB, and O. Includes a summary table and lists the practical applications of ABO grouping, such as pre-transfusion, prenatal, and transplant matching.
This book is intended for those dealing with clinical hematological problems, providing information consistently put into a clinical context. Written by an author with experience as both a clinician and a laboratory hematologist, it reflects the integration of clinic and laboratory science with a bias toward the clinic, aiming to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical medicine.
This book presents haematology and blood transfusion in a concise and simplified, illustrated format. It is aimed primarily at undergraduate students (MBBS) and residents of pathology and medicine, and is intended as a simplified resource rather than an all-inclusive textbook.
A practical manual focusing on laboratory investigations in hematology. The book aims to provide essential knowledge of these investigations for all concerned in health care.
A foundational text covering the formation and development of blood cells, normal bone marrow structure, diagnostic techniques like bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, and basic aspects of anemia, red cell structure, and metabolism.
This book provides a case-based approach to the pathophysiology, clinical presentations, investigation, and management of haematological diseases prevalent in Asia, ranging from common conditions like iron deficiency anaemia to life-threatening haematological malignancies. It is designed for medical students and non-specialist practitioners, with each chapter featuring a real-case clinical scenario and supplementary illustrations.
This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) in pregnancy. APS is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by thrombosis and pregnancy morbidities. The text reviews current classification criteria, treatment guidelines, and addresses complex management challenges, including patients who do not meet full criteria and those presenting with life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy.

Death Investigation: An Introduction to Forensic Pathology...
This document provides a clinical analysis of anaphylactic shock, differentiating it from anaphylactoid reactions based on hypotension. It explains the 'empty heart syndrome' pathophysiology due to massive vasodilation. Key diagnostic features, including respiratory manifestations (wheeze vs. stridor) and cutaneous signs, are discussed. Management guidelines are centered on the immediate administration of adrenaline (0.5 mg IM into the vastus lateralis), emphasizing its priority over all other medications, along with airway control (intubation for edema) and supportive care.
A textbook focusing on the systematic approach to and management of long cases in general surgery, primarily intended for postgraduate students preparing for clinical examinations.
