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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis companion text to \u003ci\u003ePractical Flow Cytometry in Haematology Diagnosis\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eWHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\u0026amp;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 \u003ci\u003ein situ\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePractical Flow Cytometry in Haematology: 100 Worked Examples\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProvides a practical, example-based resource for flow cytometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates how flow cytometry results should be interpreted and applied to optimise patient care\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes both malignant and benign conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCan be used in conjunction with \u003ci\u003ePractical Flow Cytometry in Haematology Diagnosis\u003c\/i\u003e, by the same author team (ISBN 9780470671207)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePractical Flow Cytometry in Haematology: 100 Worked Examples\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for practising haematologists and histopathologists with an interest in haematopathology, but particularly directed at trainee haematologists and scientists preparing for FRCPath and related examinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471394816236,"sku":"9781118747032","price":231.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781118747032-practical-flow-cytometry-in-haematology.jpg?v=1775241644"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/allyson-doig.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
