Download or read book Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology written by Mike Leach and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of blood, bone marrow and tissue fluid specimens requires a multi-faceted approach with the integration of scientific data from a number of disciplines. No single discipline can operate in isolation or errors will occur. Flow cytometry is in a privileged position in that it can provide rapid analysis of specimens and it is often the first definitive investigation to produce results and help formulate a working diagnosis. This companion text to Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology Diagnosis contains 100 worked examples drawn from real clinical cases presenting to the authors’ institution. Cases are illustrated with peripheral blood and bone marrow cytology, tissue pathology and cytogenetic and molecular data, which are integrated to generate, where appropriate, a diagnosis based on the WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. The spectrum of clinical cases includes adult and paediatric patients, and both neoplastic and reactive disorders. The cases appear in no particular order to challenge the reader to make their own diagnosis. The reader will review May−Grünwald−Giemsa (MGG)-stained films of peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirates presented alongside flow cytometric data and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained bone marrow and other tissue biopsy sections. Immunohistochemistry is used to further clarify the tissue lineage and cell differentiation. Cytogenetic studies using metaphase preparations are used to identify translocations and chromosome gains and losses whilst interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) studies and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are used to identify gene fusions, gene rearrangements and deletions. Each case concludes with a discussion of the features that are important to making a diagnosis. The cases are also listed according to disease classification in the appendix so that the text can also be used as a reference.

Download or read book Flow Cytometry in Hematopathology written by Doyen T. Nguyen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-11-26 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow cytometry immunophenotyping of hematopoietic disorders is a complex and demanding exercise that requires a good understanding of cell lineages, developmental pathways, and physiological changes, as well as broad experience in hematopathology. The process includes several interrelated stages, from the initial medical decision regarding which hematologic c- dition is appropriate for FCM assay, to the final step of diagnosis whereby the FCM data is correlated with other relevant clinical and laboratory information. The actual FCM testing involves three major steps: pre-analytical (specimen processing, antibody staining), analytical (acquiring data on the flow cytometer) and post-analytical (data analysis and interpretation). The literature, including the latest FCM textbooks, provides ample information on the te- nical principles of FCM such as instrumentation, reagents and laboratory methods, as well as quality control and quality assurance. Similarly, correlations of morphologic findings and p- notypic profiles have been well covered in many publications. In contrast, much less attention has been given to the other equally important aspects of FCM immunophenotyping, especially data analysis. The latter is a crucial step by which a phenotypic profile is established. To bridge this gap in the literature, the focus of this book is more on FCM data analysis than laboratory methods and technical details. For the reader to become familiar with our data analysis strategy, an overview of our approach to the pre-analytical and analytical steps is also presented, with an emphasis on the pre-analytical aspects, which have been rarely touched upon in the literature.
Download or read book Haematology written by Mike Leach and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haematology Diagnostic haematology requires the assessment of clinical and laboratory data together with a careful morphological assessment of cells in blood, bone marrow and tissue fluids. Subsequent investigations including flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics and molecular studies are guided by the original morphological findings. These targeted investigations help generate a prompt unifying diagnosis. Haematology: From the Image to the Diagnosis presents a series of cases illustrating how skills in morphology can guide the investigative process. In this book, the authors capture a series of images to illustrate key features to recognize when undertaking a morphological review and show how they can be integrated with supplementary information to reach a final diagnosis. Using a novel format of visual case studies, this text mimics ‘real life’ for the practising diagnostic haematologist – using brief clinical details and initial microscopic morphological triage to formulate a differential diagnosis and a plan for efficient and economical confirmatory investigation to deduce the correct final diagnosis. The carefully selected, high-quality photomicrographs and the clear, succinct descriptions of key features, investigations and results will help haematologists, clinical scientists, haematology trainees and haematopathologists to make accurate diagnoses in their day-to-day work. Covering a wide range of topics, and including paediatric as well as adult cases, Haematology: From the Image to the Diagnosis is a succinct visual guide which will be welcomed by consultants, trainees and scientists alike.

Download or read book Diagnostic Hematology written by Doyen Nguyen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-06-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnostic hematology is a problem-solving process involving the gathering and analysis of the relevant findings in each case. Based on the combination of clinical and laboratory data, an experienced diagnostician can formulate the overall 'pattern' of a case. The 'pattern approach' to differential diagnosis is an integral component of the diagnostic reasoning of many expert hematologists. In this unique textbook the authors present a logical and systematic approach to diagnosis, based on the patterns derived from peripheral blood analysis, flow cytometry immunophenotyping studies and bone marrow examination. Unlike standard textbooks which are organized by specific diseases and thereby assume the reader has reached a diagnosis, this text presents the diagnostic problem as it is investigated in practice. The patterns formed by different blood and bone marrow disorders are described in detail and illustrated with color photomicrographs, or flow cytometry graphics. The reader is taken through the process of reaching the differential diagnosis. Advice is given on the proper approach to diagnostic work-up and how to avoid common diagnostic pitfalls. The companion CD-ROM, with full instructions given in the appendix, offers the reader the chance to assess real test results, and see the patterns which lead to the final interpretation in over 200 cases. As a result the reader will develop the skill of pattern recognition and be able to incorporate this diagnostic approach in practice. This is an essential text for physicians practicing hematology and hematopathology, especially those interpreting peripheral blood, flow cytometry and bone marrow specimens; also for technologists and laboratory staff responsible for the screening of full blood counts, the initial review of blood/bone marrow films or immunophenotyping data.

Download or read book A History of Haematology written by Shaun R. McCann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood has long been an object of intrigue for many of the world's philosophers and physicians, and references to it have existed since the earliest studies of human anatomy. Herodotus of Halicarnassus, whose writings 500 years before the birth of Christ drew on stories collected during his widespread travels, was amongst the first to identify the ritualistic and medical significance of blood. However, despite this long established history, haematology as a medical specialty is relatively new. A History of Haematology: From Herodotus to HIV traces the history of haematology from biblical times to the present, discussing the major defining discoveries in the specialty, ranging from war as a catalyst for the development of new techniques in blood transfusion, to the medical response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this beautifully illustrated and passionately rendered history of the field of haematology, Professor Shaun McCann traces the remarkable developments within haematology and the work of the scientists and pioneers central to these advances. This engaging and authoritative history will appeal to a wide audience including haematologists, nurses and other health care workers in haematology, as well as medical students, and general physicians with an interest in haematology.
