دانلود کتاب هماتولوژی و انتقال خون – سوالات و اختلافات نوزادان

The developmental constraints of the neonatal hematologic and immune systems are well known, particularly those in the smallest premature infants. Forced to cope with a wide range of physiologic, environmental, and microbial challenges in the extrauterine world, the still-immature fetal hematologic and immunologic systems sometimes can support the healthy development of the fetus, but sometimes cannot. In the fourth edition of this volume of the Neonatology Questions and Controversies series, our original goals remain: We seek to update physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents, and students on the most challenging issues in neonatal hematology such as anemia, transfusions, jaundice, leukocyte counts, and thrombocytopenia. The new feature of this edition is the inclusion of several chapters on neonatal transfusion medicine. New chapters include in-depth evaluations of fetal and neonatal iron homeostasis and risk factors for iron deficiency, and improvements in bilirubin assessment and management. We wish to thank Dr. Richard Polin, the Consulting Editor; Lisa Barnes, our previous Content Development Specialist; and Vaishali Singh, our current Senior Content Development Specialist at Elsevier, for her support and encouragement to write this volume. We are indebted and grateful to the authors of each chapter whose contributions from around the world will be fully appreciated by the readers and to our families for their enduring support. Finally, we (Akhil Maheshwari and Robin Ohls) again would like to acknowledge Dr. Robert Christensen for his continued participation as author and editor in the fourth edition of this volume; for his ongoing inspiration, enthusiasm, and generosity; and for being the best mentor and role model on the planet.
