Rev. ed. of: Clinical diagnosis and management by laboratory methods / [edited by] John Bernard Henry. 20th ed. c2001.

Recognized as the definitive reference in laboratory medicine since 1908, Henry's Clinical Diagnosis continues to offer state-of-the-art guidance on the scientific foundation and clinical application of today's complete range of laboratory tests. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, it presents the newest information available in the field, including new developments in technologies and the automation platforms on which measurements are performed. Provides guidance on error detection, correction, and prevention, as well as cost-effective test selection. Features a full-color layout, illustrations and visual aids, and an organization based on organ system. Features the latest knowledge on cutting-edge technologies of molecular diagnostics and proteomics. Includes a wealth of information on the exciting subject of omics; these extraordinarily complex measurements reflect important changes in the body and have the potential to predict the onset of diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Coverage of today's hottest topics includes advances in transfusion medicine and organ transplantation; molecular diagnostics in microbiology and infectious diseases; point-of-care testing; pharmacogenomics; and the microbiome. Toxicology and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring chapter discusses the necessity of testing for therapeutic drugs that are more frequently being abused by users.

Confidently prepare for the clinical pathology component of board certification, recertification, or in-service training exams! With questions and content derived from Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 21st Edition - widely regarded as the definitive masterwork in clinical pathology - you can depend on this Review Manual to reinforce all of the knowledge you're likely to need, not only for professional examinations, but also in your practice for years to come. 1200 chapter review questions - organized to parallel the chapters in Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 21st Edition - probe your understanding of every essential topic in the field. At the end of each chapter, you'll find explanations of which answers are correct and why. An Image Simulation examination features 50 classic color images that challenge your ability to visually identify a variety of findings. A Math Examination section assesses your skill in performing hematology, blood banking, and chemistry calculations. A Comprehensive Examination features 8 multiple-choice questions on laboratory administration, 18 on chemistry, 8 on urine and body fluids, 20 on hematology and transfusion medicine, 16 on immunology, 20 on microbiology, and 10 on molecular diagnostics - to provide balanced coverage of all areas of clinical pathology.

To interpret the laboratory results. To distinguish the normal from the abnormal and to understand the merits and demerits of the assays under study. The book attempts to train a laboratory medicine student to achievesound knowledge of analytical methods and quality control practices, tointerpret the laboratory results, to distinguish the normal from the abnormaland to understand the merits and demerits of the assays under study.

Clinical Case Studies for the Family Nurse Practitioner is a key resource for advanced practice nurses and graduate students seeking to test their skills in assessing, diagnosing, and managing cases in family and primary care. Composed of more than 70 cases ranging from common to unique, the book compiles years of experience from experts in the field. It is organized chronologically, presenting cases from neonatal to geriatric care in a standard approach built on the SOAP format. This includes differential diagnosis and a series of critical thinking questions ideal for self-assessment or classroom use.

This completely revised and updated second edition to integrates the many new technologies and insights now available for the diagnosis of genetic diseases. The authors use such methodologies as PCR optimization dosage analysis, mutation scanning, and quantitative fluorescent PCR for aneuploidy analysis, Neurofibromatosis type 1, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. These largely generic methodologies may be adapted to most genetic conditions for which a molecular diagnosis is relevant, no matter how frequent or rare their incidence. Molecular Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases, Second Edition offers diagnostic molecular geneticists a unique opportunity to sharpen their scientific skills in the design of assays, their execution, and their interpretation.
