Congenital Bleeding Disorders by Akbar Dorgalaleh Pdf

This book describes in detail the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of congenital bleeding disorders. It will assist readers in overcoming the significant challenges involved in clinical and laboratory diagnosis and in providing effective clinical care that makes optimal use of new products, including recombinant factor concentrate. The coverage ranges from hemophilia A and B and von Willebrand disease to rare bleeding disorders such as congenital factor V, factor X, factor XI, and factor XIII deficiency and inherited platelet function disorders. The exceptional attention to rarer conditions is of particular importance given the considerable risk of overlooking them during diagnosis, with potential consequences for disease-related morbidity and mortality. The authors are acknowledged specialists in the field from across the world who have particular expertise in the disorder that they discuss. The book will be of value to hematologists, oncologists, pediatricians, laboratory specialists and technicians, general physicians, and trainees.

The Platelet and its Disorders by B.G. Firkin Pdf

The aim of this book is to introduce the medical student, recent medical graduates involved in postgraduate training and physicians in practice to the role of the platelet in physiology and disease. It is not intended to be an encyclopaedic review of all the literature over the past few decades, but largely represents a personal account, and although resultant prejudices occur, an attempt has been made to emphasize to the reader areas of doubt, and point the way to other sources which may explore these questions more fully in selected references at the end of each chapter. I acknowledge the help of my secretaries, Ms Carolyn Harvey and Mrs Marjorie Brown without whom the book would never have been started, let alone completed. Some illustrations and figures were made by Mr W. Shepherd of Monash University and Ms A. Leaman of the Alfred Hospital. I am indebted to Mrs E. Hagon who read and corrected a number of the chapters, and for the constant help through discussion and debate with my two close collaborators in research, Dr Margaret Howard and Dr Sharron pfueller. Dr Siew Choong, Mrs Maureen Broadway and Ms Ilona Lakatos documented the methods used in our laboratory to study platelets as outlined in the Appendix.

Platelet Disorders by Ravindra Sarode Pdf

This issue focuses on platelet disorders that are routinely encountered by practicing hematologists. Since there is a rapidly expanding body of information currently available in this discipline, we have assembled a wide variety of topics by experts in their respective fields. For example, the chapter on assessment of platelet function covers standard assay methods as well as more advanced testing and point of care tests. Similarly, recent advances in the management of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are discussed by authors who have performed original research in these areas. Other interesting topics include anti-platelet drug therapy, drug-induced thrombocytopenia and current evidence-based platelet transfusion therapy. Apart from congenital and acquired platelet dysfunction, a chapter on hyperactive platelets is included because evidence is emerging that supports the hypothesis that increased platelet function can cause thrombotic disorder. It is our sincere hope that this compendium of articles will ease the burden of the practicing hematologist and simplify the task of treating patients with platelet disorders
