Riassunto

BASIC AND APPLIED CONCEPTS OF IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY clearly addresses the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary in an entry-level blood-banking book. This introductory level textbook prepares the reader for the practicing laboratory by adequately integrating basic theory (genetics, immunology and immunohematology) with a special emphasis on the application of theory to modern transfusion and blood-bank settings. This textbook delivers basic ideas supplemented with practical problem-solving exercises housed in a reader friendly framework. Throughout the text, information is tied to practice through clinical scenarios and critical thinking exercises.

* Prepares the student for the "real world" of the blood banking laboratory, provided by the authors' years of research and extensive experience. * Focuses on the application of concepts/science and shows students how the classroom theories apply to their work in the laboratory. * Includes extensive quality control assurance and regulatory issues coverage in both reagents and equipment. * Includes an entire chapter on basic genetics and immunology coverage for introductory MLT/MT students. * Includes description, uses, and limitations of blood bank reagents in an entire chapter. * Provides user-friendly coverage of blood groups systems - great introductory level information for beginning blood bankers. * Contains many illustrations and tables showing critical information to help make key concepts more memorable to the students. * Ends each chapter with a Chapter Summary consisting of a paragraph, table, or box of essential information presented in a clear and memorable format. * Incorporates Critical Thinking Exercises after each Chapter Summary, requiring the reader to process information and draw conclusions based on their readings. * Contains a Chapter Outline, Study Questions, Learning Objectives and Key Terms with definitions for each chapter. * Provides key terms in a glossary at the end of the book as well as in each chapter. * Highlights diagrams, tables, important headings and boxes with the two-color interior design. * Includes Instructor's Manual with answers to the text's critical thinking exercises, laboratory exercises, laboratory worksheets and additional questions - a valuable instructor's resource.
