Nathan and Oski's Hematology of Infancy and Childhood 6th Revised edition [Kõva köide]

Basing their work on an approach that assumes diagnosis and treatment should be based more on basic pathophysiology than description and association, the editors (affiliated with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the U. of Michigan, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Harvard Medical School) present the new edition of a two-volume textbook that, for the most part, provides chapters on the major hematological diseases that include discussions of their fundamental bases. Chapters that don't fall into the above category include discussions of basic blood biology without reference to disease or look at widespread treatment techniques, such as transfusion medicine.
