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.

It is a situation we all fear and none of us can imagine: a life-threatening diagnosis. But what if the person receiving the diagnosis--young, physically fit, poised for a bright future--is himself a doctor?At thirty-one David biro has just completed his residency and joined his father's successful dermatology practice. Struck with a rare blood disease that eventually necessitates a bone marrow transplant, Biro relates with honesty and courage the story of his most transforming journey. He is forthright about the advantages that his status as a physician may have afforded him; and yet no such advantage can protect him from the anxiety and doubt brought on by his debilitating therapies. The pressures that Biro's wild "one hundred days" brings to bear on his heretofore well-established identity as a caregiver are enormous--as is the power of this riveting story of survival.

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. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of hematology. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

The branch of medicine which is involved in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to blood and blood-forming tissues is known as hematology. It encompasses a diverse range of conditions, which include both benign and malignant blood disorders. The diagnosis and management of these disorders involves a combination of clinical assessment, laboratory testing, and specialized procedures. Some of the diagnostic tools which are used to evaluate the composition, function, and structure of blood cells are complete blood counts (CBC), blood smears, bone marrow biopsies and genetic testing. These tests are used to identify abnormalities, determine the type and severity of the disorder, and guide appropriate treatment decisions. The disorders which are studied within this field can be broadly classified into three categories, namely, anemia, bleeding disorders, and blood cancers. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of hematology. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
