This
book aims to provide an overview of current knowledge pertaining to our
understanding of hematology. The main subject areas will include blood cell
morphology and function, the pathophysiology and genetics of hematological
disorders and malignancies, blood testing and typing, and the processes
governing hematopoiesis.
The
primary objective of this book is to provide the specialists involved in the
clinical management and experimental research in hematological diseases with
comprehensive and concise information on some important theoretical and
practical developments in the biology, clinical assessment, and treatment of
patients, as well as on some molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms and the
respective translation into novel therapies.

The book, Inherited Hemoglobin
Disorders, describes the genetic defects of hemoglobins, disease complications,
and therapeutic strategies. This book has two distinct sections. The first theme
includes seven chapters devoted to the types of hemoglobinopathies, mutation
spectrum, diagnostic methods, and disease complications, and the second theme
includes three chapters focusing on various treatment strategies. Major topics
covered includes: Hemoglobinopathy Approach Diagnosis and Treatment Policy,
Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Disease, Acute Splenic Sequestration Crisis, Sickle
Cell Disease.
The lecture note is intended for use by
laboratory technologist both during their training and in their work places.
There are study questions at the end of each chapter for the reader to evaluate his
understanding of the contents. In addition, important terms are defined in the
glossary section at the end of the text.
