Instructions for lab procedures include sources of possible errors along with comments.Case studies in each chapter provide opportunities to apply hematology concepts to real-life scenarios.Hematology instruments are described, compared, and contrasted.UPDATED, full-color illustrations make it easier to visualize hematology concepts and show what you\'ll encounter in the lab, with images appearing near their mentions in the text so you don\'t have to flip pages back and forth.Hematology/hemostasis reference ranges are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick reference.A bulleted summary makes it easy to review the important points in every chapter.Learning objectives begin each chapter and indicate what you should achieve, with review questions appearing at the end.A glossary of key terms makes it easy to find and learn definitions. NEW coverage of hematogones in the chapter on pediatric and geriatric hematology helps you identify these cells, a skill that is useful in diagnosing some pediatric leukemias.UPDATED chapter on molecular diagnostics covers new technology and techniques used in the lab. \"This established hematology text enters its Fourth Edition with even more of the focused coverage and learning tools that have made it so successful. Well illustrated and user-oriented, this new edition features extensive study and review tools, including learning objectives, case studies, procedure boxes, and review questions.Each chapter includes reader-friendly features:Chapters begin with a topical outline and behavioral objectives for a quick overview of content to be covered. Chapters conclude with highlights and new review questions to reinforce the student\'s understanding of key concepts and aid in test preparation. Summaries are highlighted for rapid reference and quick review.
