Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battle is a practical and sometimes lasting way of solving man's problems. It relies on the strength of the combatants and ignores the truth of the dispute. Discussion face to face can dissolve attitudes which have incorrectly determined judgements. The most striking example of this that I know is a Battle in Ireland in the eleventh century, where the king of Leinster fought a Viking prince. The Icelanders had raided Ireland for several generations in search of women, which they lacked since most of the population of Iceland were men who had arrived there by rowing long-boats from Norway. The prince was leading such a raid for the first time. Standing in the prow of the leading boat he saw Irish cavalry galloping along the beach to meet them. As they approached the shore the Irish king rode out of the band to challenge single combat. The Icelander jumped into the surf to meet him. As they raised their swords each realized that the other's face was like his own. When the Irish king spoke the other recognized the language. It had been spoken in Iceland by his grandmother who had been captured and taken there from Ireland. Swords were dropped and replaced by drinking horns. It was soon established that they were cousins. The battle gave way to a life-time of close co-operation.

Download or read book Blood Platelets in Man and Animals written by Bernard Maupin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood Platelets in Man and Animals in Two Volumes, Volume 1 presents a general synopsis of all fields of interest in the study of platelets including a chapter dealing with Blood Platelets in Animals. The literature contains many surveys and discussions on the cytology, immunology, hematology and pathology of blood platelets. The monograph is a definitive review of the major aspects of blood platelets. The book begins with the introduction of the general aspects of the study of blood platelets. Subsequent chapters are devoted to the methods of separation and study of blood platelets; morphology and physical properties of blood platelets; physiological and experimental variations in the number of platelets; and platelet functions in coagulation, hemostasis and thrombogenesis. The last chapter presents studies of platelets in other classes of vertebrates and invertebrates. Cytologists, physiologists, biochemists, immunologists, physicians, veterinarians, biologists, and hematologists will find the book very useful.

Download or read book Transfusion Medicine and Hemostasis written by Beth H. Shaz and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 1015 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Transfusion Medicine and Hemostasis continues to be the only "pocket-size" quick reference for pathology residents and transfusion medicine fellows. It covers all topics in blood banking, transfusion medicine, and clinical and laboratory based coagulation. Short, focused chapters, organized by multiple hierarchical headings, are supplemented with up to 10 suggested reading citations. This single reference covers essentially all the topics required to meet the goals and objectives of a major program in transfusion medicine and clinical coagulation. New chapters in the coagulation testing section reflect the development of new tests available and their incorporation into clinical practice. Coverage includes essential updates on the importance of new cellular therapies, peripheral blood and bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells, as well as cord blood banking and regenerative medicine. The authors also examine advances in the understanding of molecular testing and pathogen reduction in two separate quality control chapters (one for blood centers and one for hospitals). Updated content covers new coagulation tests, cellular therapies, and quality control issues Easy to use, with focused, well-defined chapters in a standardized format throughout Offers quick "cross-reference" lists at the end of each chapter Includes lists of common abbreviations and indexes that cross reference diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic commonalities

Download or read book Homeostasis written by Fernanda Lasakosvitsch Castanho and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human body is composed of several systems and organs, consisting of millions of cells that need relatively stable conditions to function and contribute to the survival of the body as a whole. The maintenance of stable conditions for the cells against the variations of the external environment is an essential function of the body and is called homeostasis. As a consequence of the loss of homeostasis, a disease is manifested. This book aims to provide the reader with an up-to-date view of the self-regulatory mechanisms that are activated to achieve homeostasis, the pathways that are altered during the disease process, and how medicine can intervene to restore balance in critical patients.
Download or read book Blood Science written by Andrew Blann and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood Science is a relatively new discipline which merges biochemistry, haematology, immunology, transfusion science and genetics. This bringing together of traditional disciplines requires a corresponding change in education and training for healthcare scientists and Blood Science: Principles and Pathology is written in response to this emerging need. An introduction to the subject and an overview of the techniques used in blood science are followed by a series of chapters based on groups of analytes investigated in blood - red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, followed by the constituents of plasma, including waste products, electrolytes, glucose, lipids, enzymes, hormones, nutrients, drugs, poisons and others. Each chapter is supported by learning objectives, summaries and further information, and a focus is given to chapter specific case studies with interpretation to demonstrate how laboratory data in conjunction with clinical details is utilised when investigating patients with actual or suspected disease. Finally, a separate chapter offers more detailed case reports that integrate the different aspects of blood science. Undergraduate students taking blood science modules as part of their BSc programmes in Biomedical and Healthcare Sciences will appreciate the level of integration between clinical biochemistry and haematology. In addition, this book will provide suitable initial reading for those students embarking on blood science modules on MSc programmes and will be of value to new graduates entering the profession and starting their career in blood science departments by supplementing practice-based training with the required theoretical underpinning. This book is approved by the Institute of Biomedical Science and written by its expert writers, many of whom work on the Institute’s advisory panels.
