- Summary:
- "The focus of the second edition of our book continues to be the physiologic principles underlying the regulation and function of blood cells and hemostasis as well as the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for the development of blood disorders. Throughout the book, we place more emphasis on principles than practice, avoiding technical details pertaining to diagnostic tests and procedures as well as the compilation of specific drugs and dosages. Instead, we frame our discussion of disease diagnosis and management around underlying pathogenesis, in the belief that a firm grounding in physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms is the bedrock of medical education."--Preface.
