Hæmatologi

Faget hæmatologi har i de senere år gennemgået en rivende udvikling, og Hæmatologi i klinisk praksis møder behovet for opdateret viden og indsigt indenfor de enkelte hæmatologiske sygdommes patofysiologi og behandling. Bogen er skrevet for alle, som på en eller anden måde har kontakt med det hæmatologiske speciale og føler behov for at skaffe sig ekstra viden. Målgruppen er primært reservelæger, sygeplejersker og andet plejepersonale, som ansættes i hæmatologiske afdelinger, men også andre, der indirekte er i kontakt med specialet. Fx ansatte ved andre afdelinger og institutioner, som møder patienter med hæmatologiske sygdomme. Hæmatologi i klinisk praksis indeholder kapitler for hver af de mest almindelige hæmatologiske sygdomme. De enkelte kapitler indledes typisk med en karakteristisk sygehistorie og afsluttes med facit for sygehistorien, hvorved sygehistorien danner ramme om kapitlet ved først at vække nysgerrighed og interesse, og siden fungerer som en slags repetition, når svaret gennemgås af forfatteren. Bogen er rigt illustreret med gode histopatologiske billeder og pædagogiske stregtegninger ligesom der i videst muligt omfang er anvendt danske overlevelsesdata, hvor disse er tilgængelige.

Basisbog i medicin og kirurgi udgør en overskuelig dansksproget introduktion til de to centrale kliniske fag på medicinstudiet: intern medicin og kirurgi. I bogens indhold og opbygning er der lagt vægt på hyppige og almindelige sygdomme samt på mere sjældne tilstande, hvor manglende viden om sygdommen kan få fatale konsekvenser for patienten. I denne 5. udgave er det grundlæggende koncept justeret og videreudviklet på baggrund af kommentarer fra bl.a. studerende og læger. For at sikre fornyelse og foryngelse er en del af forfatterne blevet udskiftet, hvilket har betydet store og væsentlige ændringer i mange af kapitlerne. Som en ekstra nyskabelse suppleres bogen af en hjemmeside med mange spændende og interessante cases. Basisbog i medicin og kirurgi er først og fremmest en basal lærebog for medicinstuderende, men bogen henvender sig også til andre inden for sundhedsvæsenet, der har brug for en overskuelig og opdateret viden inden for intern medicin og kirurgi.

Hemato-oncology, also known as hematologic oncology, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines aspects of hematology (the study of blood disorders) and oncology (the study of cancer). Hemato-oncology deals with hematologic malignancies, which include various types of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Some of the major aspects of hemato-oncology are diagnosis, chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. There are numerous procedures which are used for the diagnosis of blood related cancers such as bone marrow biopsies, blood tests, genetic testing, imaging studies, and lymph node biopsies. They can be treated through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, or a combination of these approaches. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics related to hemato-oncology.
