Hepatitis C Virus: From Laboratory to Clinic





Hepatitis C infects 170 million people worldwide and has been labeled the ‘silent epidemic’ since it is asymptomatic for years after infection. This multidisciplinary overview covers basic concepts related to the discovery of the virus, development of serological and nucleic acid tests to detect infection, the structure of the virus genome, generation of virus gene products, and proposed replication scheme. It then goes on to introduce the epidemiology, transmission,
pathogenesis of infection, the development of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with chronic virus infection, and current strategies for treatment. The book then discusses advances in cell culture systems, animal models of infection, and emerging treatments and vaccine development.
Through its coverage of basic science, clinical consequences, and methods of research, this integrated and accessible account will be of immense value to biomedical scientists and clinicians alike, and a useful introduction for all those studying the virus and its effects.

Blood Transfusion andthe Anaesthetist
Blood Component Therapy




This booklet advises on the appropriate use of blood components other
than red cells. This advice is required since red cell concentrates
not contain coagulation factors or platelets. The booklet also discusses
pharmacological agents and their impact on coagulation
haemostasis.
The following information, when used in conjunction with
companion booklet 'The Anaesthetist and Blood Transfusion: Red
Transfusion', will provide guidance on best transfusion practice.

Contents of the booklet:

Section 1. Recommendations for blood component use
Section 2. Introduction
Section 3. Component production
Section 4. Component use
Section 5. Co-morbidity predisposing to increased bleeding
Section 6. Drugs that increase blood loss
Section 7. Drugs that decrease blood loss

Clinical Transfusion Medicine (Vademecum)



This handbook focuses on the fundamentals in clinical transfusion.
Technical detail is intentionally omitted in order to allow the reader to grasp the most important information within the shortest time. Specific guidance on the management of different clinical situations is the objective in order to facilitate clinical desision making.

This book fills a void between the minimal information in general textbooks of Medicine, Surgery, Anesthesiology, etc. and the more detailed texts available in the field of Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine.
The value of this book is the ability to grasp salient features regarding current issues and clinical decision making. Background informaiton is minimal and given only when its omission would obsucre understanding.

Brown Univ., Providence, RI. Discusses clinical problems as they relate to decision making regarding blood transfusion. For residents, students, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Chapters are thumbed-tabbed. Trim size: 8 x 5 inches. Wire-spiral binding. DNLM: Blood Transfusion Handbooks.
