ISBN: 9780891893448.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvances in body fluid examination have provided pathologists with new tools and capabilities. The third edition of Body Fluids has been extensively updated and expanded to discuss all aspects of body fluid examination. The text is written as a practical guide for use at the bench, and as a reference for more esoteric laboratory investigation.\n\nEach chapter of Body Fluids is focused on a specific fluid and begins with a detailed description of the anatomy and physiology, specimen collection, and a summary of the most common laboratory tests. Sections are included on gross examination, cell counts, microscopy, flow cytometry, chemical analysis, tumor markers, and microbiologic studies. The third edition has been expanded with substantial new material including twice as many tables, and the addition of Papancolaous stain for comparison to Romanowsky-type. Immunocytochemistry is discussed in each chapter, and recent advancements in diagnostic molecular biology such as gene rearrangement and polymerase chain reaction are also explored. More than 350 color images aid in understanding and learning.\n\nIn addition to residents, fellows and practitioners of pathology, the text will be of interest to internists, surgeons, rheumatologists, clinical chemists, and all other specialists who need an accurate understanding of body fluid analysis.\nPartial Contents\nAcknowledgments\n\nChapter 1: Amniotic Fluid\n\nAnatomy and Pathophysiology\nSpecimen Collection\nRecommended Laboratory Studies\nGross Examination\nMicroscopic Examination\nClinical Correlations\nChemical Analysis\nClinical Disorders and Amniotic Fluid Analysis\nEstimation of Fetal Maturity, Gestational Age, and Pulmonary\nMaturity\nTests to Evaluate Fetal Lung Maturity\nNeural Tube Defects (NTD)\nPrenatal Diagnosis of Genetic Disorders\nMicrobiologic Examination\nReferences\n\nChapter 2: Cerebrospinal Fluid\n\nAnatomy and Pathophysiology\nSpecimen Collection\nRecommended Laboratory Tests\nGross Examination\nCell Counts\nMicroscopic Examination\nClinical Correlations\nImmunocytochemistry\nMolecular Diagnostic Studies\nDetection of CSF Leakage\nChemical Analysis\nMicrobiologic Examination\nReferences\n\nChapter 3: Pleural and Pericardial Fluids 159\n\nAnatomy and Pathophysiology\nSpecimen Collection\nTransudates and Exudates\nRecommended Laboratory Tests\nGross Examination\nCell Counts\nMicroscopic Examination\nClinical Correlations\nImmunocytochemistry\nFlow Cytometry Studies\nGene Rearrangement Studies\nCytogenetics\nChemical Analysis\nMicrobiologic Examination\nReferences\n\nChapter 4: Peritoneal Fluid\n\nAnatomy and Pathophysiology\nSpecimen Collection\nPeritoneal Lavage\nTransudates and Exudates\nRecommended Laboratory Tests\nGross Examination\nCell Counts\nMicroscopic Examination\nClinical Correlations\nImmunocytochemistry\nFlow Cytometry Studies\nChemical Analysis\nMicrobiologic Examination\nReferences\n\nChapter 5: Seminal Fluid\n\nAnatomy and Pathophysiology\nSpecimen Collection\nSpecial Procedures\nReferences\n\nChapter 6: Synovial Fluid\n\nAnatomy and Pathophysiology\nSpecimen Collection\nRecommended Laboratory Tests\nGross Examination\nCell Counts\nMicroscopic Examination\nImmunocytochemistry\nClinical Correlations\nChemical Analysis\nImmunologic Studies\nMicrobiologic Examination\nReferences\n\nAppendix A: Laboratory Methods\n\nAmniotic Fluid\nCerebrospinal Fluid\nSerous Fluid\nSynovial Fluid\nTotal Cell Count Methods\nCell Concentration Methods\nDifferential Cell Count\nCell Block Techniques\nImmunocytochemical Techniques\nCytochemistry Procedures\nReferences\n\nAppendix B: Analysis of Seminal Fluid\n\nSperm Morphology\nProcessing of Sperm Cells for Nonvaginal Insemination\nProcessing a\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amer Society of Clinical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959917211701,"sku":"ByrdShop_089189344X","price":431.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780891893448_8f8dd7bd-d15a-4eb2-9d02-ac396912f262.jpg?v=1778686599","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/body-fluids-laboratory-examination-of-amniotic-cerebrospinal-seminal-serous-synovial-fluids-9780891893448","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
