In his second edition of Hematology: A Pathophysiologic Approach, Koerner Fellow S. David Hudnall, professor emeritus of pathology, helps readers gain a foundational understanding of complex hematology concepts. The book, which is part of the Mosby Physiology Series, explains the fundamentals of this area in a problem-based way and offers explanations of hematopoiesis, immunology, hemostasis, hemoglobinopathy, metabolic disorders, genetics, and neoplasia. The book offers a thorough understanding of hematolymphoid physiology and pathophysiology in a systems-based curriculum. It explains the interrelationships between the diverse factors that can give rise to disease; covers a wide range of subjects, including platelets and coagulation, transfusion medicine, cytotoxic chemotherapy, infections, the immune system, and bone marrow transplantation; shows how hematologic disorders are evaluated through blood counting, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and coagulation testing; and features 150 full-color photomicrographs to help readers visualize a wide spectrum of hematologic pathology.
Dr. Hudnall is an AP/CP board-certified hematopathologist with a special interest in lymphoproliferative disorders and the role of chronic inflammation and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and monocytes in tumor progression. He is also interested in the role of infectious agents in lymphoproliferative disorders, with a special interest in herpes viruses.
