Elsevier's Medical Laboratory Science Examination Review is a brand-new resource that offers all the review, practice, and support you need to prepare for the either the MLS or MLT certification examination. Each chapter in the book offers a thorough review on one of the core areas of Medical Laboratory Science as outlined by the ASCP Board of Certification. Practice questions are also featured at the end of each chapter and explanations and rationales for each correct answer appear at the end of the text. Plus, an eight-page full-color insert displays photomicrographs of hematological and microbiological specimens exactly as they appear under the microscope and on the MLS and MLT certificat...
In the 1880s, bacteriology started to become an identifiable discipline of science as it separated from established fields of medicine such as pathology, histology and microscopy. It was during this period that Philadelphia medical students traveled to Europe to learn more about this new specialty and brought this knowledge back to the city. This first generation of bacteriologists established crude laboratories, and encouraged lectures in bacteriology to be included in the medical school curriculum. The first part of this book focuses on the people and institutions that played a significant role in establishing bacteriology in Philadelphia. A second generation of bacteriologists contributed...
The field of infectious diseases drifts and shifts as new pathogens emerge or re-emerge, new treatment modalities become available, and new prevention strategies are implemented. Students of medicine and the clinically experienced teachers who help to steer their education will benefit from Clinical Infectious Diseases: A Problem-Based Approach because each chapter first defines a clinical diagnosis and moves to descriptions of common and/or classic causes of the problem while including tables, lists and descriptions of the rare and unusual etiologies we all find so fascinating. General management approaches are included to help build foundations of clinical care of infections including, but...
