Download or read book The Leukemias Etiology Pathophysiology and Treatment written by John W. Rebuck and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leukemias: Etiology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment documents the proceedings of an International Symposium on The Leukemias: Etiology and Pathophysiology, held at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, 8-10 March 1956. This volume gives the present complex position of leukemic etiology and pathophysiologic disturbance, a much needed knowledge of detailed leukocytic functions and comprehensive thought on the therapy of the leukemias. It also establishes a basis of comparison with the earlier works of Downey and Forkner in this field in the late thirties and thus makes it possible to see with some clarity the extent of progress made. The volume contains 39 papers organized into nine parts. The papers in Part I focus on the leukemic cell, its structure, and antigenicity. Part II presents studies on genetic and environmental factors in the transmission of leukemia. Part III examines the radiation biology of leukocytes. Part IV focuses on the leukemias and the malignant lymphomas while Part V deals with leukocytic physiology. Part VI covers the metabolism of amino and nucleic acids in the leukemias. Part VII takes up further biochemical considerations in the leukemias. Part VIII contains papers that examine nucleic acids as the target for chemotherapy. Part IX presents a round-table discussion on therapy.

Download or read book Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia written by Ajay Vora and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all aspects of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, from basic biology to supportive care. It offers new insights into the genetic pre-disposition to the condition and discusses how response to early therapy and its basic biology are utilized to develop new prognostic stratification systems and target therapy. Readers will learn about current treatment and outcomes, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy approaches. Supportive care and management of the condition in resource poor countries are also discussed in detail. This is an indispensable guide for research and laboratory scientists, pediatric hematologists as well as specialist nurses involved in the care of childhood leukemia.

This book was released on 2007-11-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better therapy of acute leukemias depends ultimately on better understanding of the distinction between leukemic and normal progenitor cells. This hugely important new book describes the current knowledge of acute leukemia biology and discusses new classification systems that have arisen as a result of emerging insights into pathogenesis. Estey, Faderl and Kantarjian, who all work at the respected Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA, examine in detail advances in the treatment of particular types of acute leukemia. Their book also covers the management of acute leukemia in general as well as the development of new therapies. This book will be extremely useful to clinicians.
Download or read book Fast Facts Acute Myeloid Leukemia written by William Blum and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This last year has seen the approval of the first targeted treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) - following decades with no new developments and a poor prognosis for most patients with the disease. The new drugs reflect the remarkable progress that has been made in our understanding of the pathophysiology of AML and its underlying cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities - which differ not only between patients but also within a patient over time and with treatment. 'Fast Facts: Acute Myeloid Leukemia' provides a comprehensive yet concise foundation for understanding AML: from basic epidemiology, diagnosis, classification and the current 'standard' treatment, through to recent advances in our understanding of the cytogenetic and molecular underpinnings of the disease, such as the IDH2 mutation, and the future for tailored therapy. It will be useful to primary care providers, medical students, specialist nurses, junior doctors and allied healthcare professionals who want to develop a thorough grounding in our evolving understanding of AML and its treatment. Contents: • Epidemiology, pathophysiology and etiology • Diagnosis • Treatment • Supportive care • Prognosis and monitoring • Emerging treatments • Useful resources

Book excerpt: A concise full-color review of the mechanisms of blood diseases and disorders – based on a Harvard Medical School hematology course 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This is a superb book. Deceptively small, yet packs a wallop. The emphasis on principles instead of practice is welcome....The text is clear, concise, and surprisingly approachable for what could have been a very dense and dry discussion. I could not put this book down and read it entirely in one sitting. When was the last time anyone found a hematology textbook so riveting?"--Doody's Review Service Hematological Pathophysiology is a well-illustrated, easy-to-absorb introduction to the physiological principles underlying the regulation and function of blood cells and hemostasis, as well as the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for the development of blood disorders. Featuring a strong emphasis on key principles, the book covers diagnosis and management primarily within a framework of pathogenesis. Authored by world-renowned clinician/educators at Harvard Medical School, Hematological Pathophysiology features content and organization based on a hematology course offered to second year students at that school. The book is logically divided into four sections: Anemias and Disorders of the Red Blood Cell, Disorders of Hemostasis and Thrombosis, Disorders of Leukocytes, and Transfusion Medicine; it opens with an important overview of blood and hematopoietic tissues. Features Succinct, to-the-point coverage that reflects current medical education More than 200 full-color photographs and renderings of disease mechanisms and blood diseases Each chapter includes learning objectives and self-assessment questions Numerous tables and diagrams encapsulate important information Incorporates the feedback of 180 Harvard medical students who reviewed the first draft -- so you know you’re studying the most relevant material possible
