Book Description

Case Studies in Hemostasis provides an introduction to coagulation and the laboratory methods unique to it. An excellent source for pathology faculty, it presents more than 50 clinical cases, crossing the spectrum of what is experienced in practice. Spiral-bound as a practical workbook, it features case studies that inform the reader by progressively presenting more challenging coagulation problems. Among topics addressed by these case studies are: appropriate testing; pertinent reference values; and laboratory evaluation of platelet, vascular, coagulation, and thrombotic disorders. Particular emphasis is given to the bleeding patient and preoperative evaluations. Aspects of treatment of hematologic disorders are of special interest to transfusion and clinical personnel.

Book Description

Comprehensive review of the discoveries and scientists who discovered the mechanisms of blood coagulation. Abnormal blood clot formation is the basis of many strokes and heart attacks. The history of both clotting and bleeding disorders are described in this very readable account of the excitement of biomedical discovery. This book will appeal to readers interested in human biology, medical history and the scientists who pioneered medical advances in blood disease.

Book Description

Now in its Third Edition, this authoritative text continues to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of the biology, pathobiology, and clinical disorders of the hemostatic system. Its unique organization of the basic sciences coupled with clinical sections yields a user-friendly integrated text, and a reference tool that meets the needs of diverse investigators and clinicians of contemporary medicine for understanding the hemostatic system. New chapter topics covered in this edition include angiogenesis and vasculogenesis; hemorrhagic complications of antithrombotic therapy; interactions of coagulation and fibrinolytic proteins with the vessel wall; and less common thrombotic disorders.

Case Studies in Hemostasis: Laboratory Diagnosis and Management

ASIN: 1570596867

Book Description

This handbook is designed to be a resource for both the common and uncommon hemostatic problems that health care providers often face in clinical practice. Currently there is no practical up-to-date book to help the clinician with these patients. The handbook was written to offer a practical guide to recognizing, diagnosing, and managing theses patients. One of the most remarkable areas of medicine in the last ten to fifteen years is the revolution in thrombotic diseases. This includes the introduction of low molecular weight heparins, thrombolytic therapy, and the recognition of the hypercoagulable states. A large portion of this book is dedicated to the thrombotic disorders and their therapy.

Excellent book but with many typos.......2006-06-04

Very good book but with the most typos I have seen in any medical textbook published in the West. Some of them pertain to drug doses. Therefore would not recommend to a novice. But a good review if you have some knowledge of the subject. I hope the author does a better job getting the next edition Proofread before it is printed.

Rivetting! A textbook for all seasons!.......1999-06-23

I personally know the author and he is a wonderful teacher and lecturer. This book is a tremendous complement to his previous works. It is a book worth owning.

A+ Book....Phenomenal!!!.......2006-12-29

Best book if you want to self-educate yourself advanced math and physics. Starts where high school left off. Seamless integration of math and physics topics. Lucid, I repeat LUCID, explanation of concepts that other writers seem to dress up in incomprehensible thickets of verbiage in the guise of 'rigor'. In contrast, this particular book's authors come from the traditions of Feynman...the 'great man for clear explanations' Congratulations on a job well done!!!

Not a bad idea at all!.......2005-08-16

I very much like the idea to integrate Physics and Calculus, because these two are really related to each other. Calculus was `discovered' by Newton, as a tool to make the foundations of modern physics. So you see they are really connected.
The book does not need a lot of background (only a little about limits and derivatives) and is excellent for people out Belgium who have finished there ASO.
The text is easy readable, but you will not find any "cool" photo's or coloured drawings, but I don't mind that at all!
I think the text is really aimed at people with in interest in Physics. For them this book is just great. But for people who are rather interested in mathematics, I think they will sometimes get frustrated with the book because sometimes (important) proves are let out to improve readability and focus on the more physical side of the subject they are dealing with.

Finally a book with a balance between conceptual understanding and mathematical modeling.......2005-08-06

It can't be said how many times I've read reviews with ecstatic ratings for some particular physics book. Usually I find the books reviewed are overly formal in their arguments and depend primarily on mathematical arguments. You might see the punchline coming. Unfortunately there is not a balancing of the approach by books emphasizing mostly a conceptual approach. They don't seem to exist if you exclude the popular press. As a rule books "for teaching" cannot be accepted as serious enough if they provide a mostly conceptual approach.(Actually, I don't think erring on the opposite side, i.e. underemphising math, is good either but you'd think we could err on one side as much as the other.)

This text is a pleasure to read. For those of us who prefer a coneptual understanding along with the mathematical modeling this book can't be beat. It hits a near perfect balance between the two approaches. Its the underdog that just keeps giving.

Required reading for math and physics majors........2003-12-23

It was always my philosophy that a student should complete the
first two semesters of calculus before beginning physics at the
calculus level. I felt it was too much to ask that a student have
to tackle beginning calculus and physics at the same time. There is nothing as helpful to learning physical science as a good foundation in mathematics. I took this as irrefutable and never
thought I would change my mind. Today I received both volumes of
this set. I have been looking at these books for about twelve hours and I can't believe how well the authors have seamlessly woven together calculus theory with physics theory at the first year level. If you are a student taking physics and calculus you must have these books. There isn't enough space here to do
justice to these books. If you are a real math or physics major
it will only take you 15 minutes to realize what you are looking
at. If you had AP Calculus and AP Physics you will be in for a
treat. These books are a great academic and teaching achievement and should be required reading for all calculus and physics teachers as well.

Very good book.......2002-07-07

This book is 1 of 2 which make a set. These two books are good as they are presented in black and white with a systematic layout. This is a great step away from normal university textbooks which are rehashed constantly, due to the commercialism which permeates our society, making them convoluted at times and full of irrelevant text and colorful images etc. Most of these textbooks shouldn't be allowed in our classrooms. This book didn't get five stars as some concepts and examples don't have relevant graphs and models presented which would make learning easier (especially the formulation of the surface integral). All in all this is the best calculus/physics book I've found so far. It is important to download the errata as some mistakes are present within: ...
