2013 · Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

With the 13th edition, Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology once again bridges the gap between the clinical practice of hematology and the basic foundations of science. Broken down into eight parts, this book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of: Laboratory Hematology, The Normal Hematologic System, Transfusion Medicine, Disorders of Red Cells, Hemostasis and Coagulation; Benign Disorders of Leukocytes, The Spleen and/or Immunoglobulins; Hematologic Malignancies, and Transplantation. Within these sections, there is a heavy focus on the morphological exam of the peripheral blood smear, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other tissues. With the knowledge about gene therapy and immunotherapy expanding, new, up-to-date information about the process and application of these therapies is included. Likewise, the editors have completely revised material on stem cell transplantation in regards to both malignant and benign disorders, graft versus host disease, and the importance of long-term follow-up of transplantation survivors.

Thus Baltimore is enabled to compete with the great cities of the East for a share of this immense trade. The extension of the road from Pittsburg to Centreton, a mere question of time, will give another direct route from Chicago to Baltimore. The scenery along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Eailway is picturesque and beautiful, but portions of the road merit special notice. "Harper's Ferry," the point at which the peaceful waters of the Shenandoah become lost in the more boisterous Potomac, has been described by Jefferson as "one of the most stupendous scenes in nature, and well worth a voyage across the Atlantic to witness." Jefferson's Kock, named after that illustrious statesman, a great overhanging cliff which looks frowningly down as though it would topple headlong upon the unwary traveler, offers an exhaustive view of the wonderful passage of these two rivers through the very heart of the mountains. The road from this point to the Ohio Kiver gives to the sight-seer a succession of views emb...
