Opis: Textbook of Pediatric Hematology - M. R. Lokeshwar

Textbook of Pediatric Hematology & Hemato-Oncology is a highly illustrated, comprehensive guide to diseases and cancers of the blood in paediatrics. Fifty chapters by internationally recognised paediatric haematologists and haemato-oncologists are grouped into seven sections, covering physiology, neonatal haematology, red blood cell and white blood cell disorders, bleeding disorders, transfusion medicine, haemato-oncology and other general topics. The haemato-oncology section covers cancers of the blood and includes lymphoblastic leukaemia, myeloid leukaemia (chronic and acute), juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia, and bone marrow transplantation. The final 'general' section features discussion on gene therapy, monoclonal antibodies and biological response modifiers. Each chapter is peer-reviewed, with a list of references ensuring authoritative content, and the book is further enhanced by nearly 200 images and illustrations. Textbook of Pediatric Hematology & Hemato-Oncology is an indispensable resource for paediatricians, practitioners and trainees.
