Neonatology and Laboratory Medicine.jpg


Written by Sarah Heap, Jim Gray and Andrew Ewer, this third edition of Neonatal and Laboratory Medicine has been updated to ensure its continued relevance. Since the last edition, there have been many important developments in laboratory and clinical practice, and in the UK both Neonatal Units and laboratories have developed networks to ensure consistency of approach and to promote good practice. There have been significant changes in the provision of laboratory services, arising both from a drive for improved efficiency and important technological advances.

As in previous editions the book is intended as a basic guide for junior doctors, laboratory scientists and neonatal nurses - hopefully to enable the consideration, identification and management of common neonatal problems. The text provides brief background information, discussion of the practical aspects of diagnosis and management of references for further detailed reading should a more in depth knowledge be required.

 

Critical Care and Laboratory Medicine.jpg


Written by Peter Gosling, Anne Sutcliffe and Stephanie Dancer, 'Critical Care and Laboratory Medicine' provides a laboratory perspective on both the pathogenesis and treatment of organ failure, enabling the reader to understand the essential role that Laboratory Medicine plays in guiding the treatment of critical illness.

Despite major advances in the treatment of critical illness, in-hospital mortality rates for patients requiring intensive care remain between 30 and 40%. The commonest cause of death, irrespective of the underlying reason for intensive care unit (ICU) admission, is uncontrolled systemic inflammation leading to multiple organ failure. 
 

 

Cardiovascular Disease and Laboratory Medicine.jpg


Written by Martin Crook, John Chambers and Phil Chowienczyk 'Cardiovascular Disease and Laboratory Medicine' is intended to provide a concise and up to date synopsis regarding the use of the clinical biochemistry laboratory in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease.

The target audience is primarily clinical scientists and chemical pathologists as well as cardiologists, specialist nurses and other health care professionals working in the cardiovascular field.
 

 

Clinical Cases in Laboratory Medicine.jpg


Written by Jane French, Beverley Harris and William Marshall, 'Clinical Cases in Laboratory Medicine' is a valuable valuable learning resource for laboratory staff and medical students.

The book includes 80 case scenarios drawn from sources such as the UK NEQAS Interpretative Comments Service in Clinical Biochemistry and the authors' own laboratories.

Each case includes a brief history, laboratory data and questions to consider regarding diagnosis, further investigations and management; a short but comprehensive commentary on the issues raised by the case and key learning points at the end of each discussion.
