Platelets

2002 Best New Book in Medical Science - Professional/Scholarly Publishing Division of the Association of American Publishers

Platelets is a comprehensive new textbook of 61 chapters and 1,100 pages (approx.) written by over 100 world leaders in the field. Platelets is a single definitive source of state-of-the-art knowledge about platelets. There has been no textbook that specifically and fully covers the entire field of platelet biology and clinical medicine. Platelets now fills this need. Platelets encompasses: platelet biology; platelet function testing; the role of platelets in disease; inherited and acquired disorders of platelet number and function; pharmacology of antiplatelet agents; pharmacology of agents to increase platelet numbers and/or function; platelet transfusion medicine; and gene therapy. The intended audience for Platelets includes hematologists, cardiologists, stroke physicians, blood bankers, pathologists, and researchers in thrombosis and hemostasis — as well as students and fellows in these fields.
