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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUndergraduate 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is approved by the \u003cb\u003eInstitute of Biomedical Science\u003c\/b\u003e and written by its expert writers, many of whom work on the Institute’s advisory panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Andrew Blann\u003c\/b\u003e, FRCPath FIBMS CSci, Consultant Clinical Scientists and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Medicine, University Department of Medicine, UK; Deputy Chief Examiner in Haematology with the Institute of Biomedical Science and an Examiner in Haematology with the Royal College of Pathologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Nessar Ahmed\u003c\/b\u003e, CSci FIBMS, Reader in Clinical Biochemistry, School of Healthcare Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 March 2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118351383\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e556\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.36\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379774419084,"sku":"9781118351383","price":149.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118351383.jpg?v=1780161014","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118351383","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
