Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods

Good comprehensive CP text
"Henry's," as it's generally known, is an excellent all around text for clinical pathology and an ideal starting point particularly at the resident level. But its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness -- it covers essentially every component of clinical pathology, but by nature this means not every last detail can be included. Still, it does a very admirable job of consolidating so much information. As a resident, if you can buy only one CP book then I heartily recommend starting with Henry's; it contains more board level material on more CP specialties than I've found anywhere. It can also come in handy for attending pathologists, particularly those finding themselves covering a lab they may not be as familiar with.

Excellent addition to your reference library
I refer to this text quite often during my graduate studies. Henry's picks up where other lab manuals fail, with detailed explanations of the test in addition to a basic review of the condition it relates to. It's worth the purchase if you are tired of not being able to find information regarding certain diagnostic tests.

GOOD but lacks some features
This book has plenty of information about laboratory etc.. but what I didn't like is that lacks an online edition like most books.. also the information is not easy to find the back index sucks i doesn't display all the information that the book covers.. SO you need to find it through all the chapters.. But well.. i will recomend it

Bakerman's ABC's of Interpretive Laboratory Data

Best interpretive lab data book out there!
I have used this WONDERFUL book since my medical training days and find it to be invaluable. I have several other well known books on lab analysis and they don't come close to this book. It's unbelievable to me that so much information can be packed into such a small volume. I HIGHLY recommend it for all Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioners, MD's, Lab Techs, and anyone else in the medical/laboratory field!

There's a new edition for this excellent book!
This book goes beyond a "lab" book, encompassing etiologies, algorithms on further evaluation, and pathophysiology. Inside you can find, for example, the incidence of neonatal conjunctivitis in mothers with chylamydial infections, clinical features of primary biliary cirrhosis, and diagrams of the red blood cell reactions in indirect vs direct Coombs reactions. I first bought this book as a medical student when I spent over an hour doing a lit search on immunoglobulins and the intern found a better answer the next day in one second by opening this book. Definitely worth the purchase price! There is a 2002 version of this book and it includes reference articles after each lab test entry. P.S. Now exists in a PDA version, too.

concise and thorough
This book provides a quick, 1 page glance at lab value interpretation. Indexed in alphabetical order, the reference ranges are given for adults, and pediatrics, followed by the significance of high or low lab values. The book is small, easy to carry and loaded with information.

Rehabilitation Techniques for Sports Medicine and Athletic Training with Laboratory Manual and eSims Password Card (Rehabilitation Techniques in Sport

Good
This book has helped me a lot with the rehabilitation aspect of Athletic Training, which is my major at school. Two of the grad assistance have it and loved it, so I decided to get the book! So far it has been the best move, I have learned new exercises to help with athlete's that I didn't know about prior to this book. The only downfall was I bought it used from someone whom claimed the book had "NO writing or Highlighting" inside and once I received the book it was filled with highlighting. If it doesn't bother you when other people have highlighted information that you might not want highlighted than go ahead and buy it used. If not than I really recommend buying it new, especially if you are in a physical therapy or sports medicine field.

Laboratory Tests and Diagnostic Procedures

Make it an addition to your medical library
Auseful tool to find normal values and aceptable levels of every element of body fluids. Abrief desciption of each test is followed by lists of medical conditions that may influence the result.The design of professional considerations add more value to this book, since abnormal results not necessarily reflect abnormal medical conditions, they may as well come from various mistakes when preparing or handling the test, or influenced by the patient's previous medications. The text is well organized with plain English. A very useful book that I'd like to recommend it to every medical student.

The best lab text ever!
I've taught nursing for the past 22 years and this is by far the best lab book I've ever used. At first glance it may appear intimidating, but it is very user friendly. The first few pages are medical diagnoses and their common labs with the most critical few astericked. The majority of the text is alphabetized by lab name and includes not only the values, but panic values, highlighted boxes for signs and symptoms of toxicities and treatments for each, and an extensive list of causes for high and low levels. There is much more to this text, but these are the qualities I love most. If you want to prevent patient's problems or at least identify them early, this text is a must and it will make you look like a genius in the process! I won't leave home without it.

On Call: Laboratory Medicine and Pathology Description

ON CALL LABORATORY MEDICINE AND PATHOLOGY is a handy pocket reference for pathologists on call to help with common questions and problems in laboratory medicine and pathology. The first section deals with general issues that are critical to formulating appropriate responses to questions, including communicating with colleagues, identifying problems, and the strengths and limitations of laboratory measurements. The section on Clinical Pathology covers the various "on-call" situations and responses encountered in transfusion medicine. It also provides an approach to calls in Anatomic Pathology. The entire book and appendices are replete with useful tables and charts presenting frequently needed facts in a user-friendly fashion. The material discussed has been chosen based on the author1s experience with "on-call" situations over the years. Specific problems encountered during interactions with resident and attending pathologists are discussed, and an attempt has been made to stay away from the traditional textbook format.

Essential Laboratory Mathematics: Concepts and Applications for the Chemical and Clinical Laboratory Technician

Laboratory Math
This book is an excellent reference book for Laboratory Mathmatics. It provides the formulas needed and easy-to-understand explainations. I would recommend it for a beginning student or a student like myself who is taking continuing education.

Not...quite what you might think.
I have complained for years about a lack of a mathematics for chemists book. This looked like just what I was looking for. I first saw it advertised by a chemical company. When I got it, however, I found it to be either too shallow, or too specific. It spent a great deal of time discussing things like accuracy versus precision and the like. Then suddenly it switches to calculating concentrations of urea. Instead of being an overall guide to the mathematics of a laboratory, it was instead a guide to calculating values as a professor in an undergraduate biological analysis lab. Really not how it presents itself. That said, it's okay for what it is. But rather than attempt to use labs as specific examples of fundamental concepts and use those for widely varying applications, it instead explains the math found in a few typical experiments, and that's all.

EXCELLENT BOOK CONDITION
The book I got was in excellent condition. I really trust Amazon, because it never let me down. The books I bought was cheap as well as it looked new. This book is essential book for all medical maths and I really appreciate your job of making it available to everyone in lower price.
Thank you very much

Fundamental Laboratory Approaches for Biochemistry and Biotechnology

A decent lab manual for Biochemistry
I used this book as a lab manual for my Biochemistry class in college. The book itself is well organized in most respects. However, there are some parts that were well explained in the manual when it came to trying to answer the problems at the end of each experiment. Some of the examples given in the pre-lab didn't apply to the questions being asked so it would lead our class to having to nag the professor for some answers on how to solve the problem. Overall though the techniques employed are relative and effective when it comes to the biochemistry field.

book was ok, but i have everything you need
This book doesnt explain things 100% but I do. I am selling the old lab reports that I have, past exams and the powepoints. Everything is guarenteed to give you an A. I am selling it with the lab book for $50. Check it out

i sold this book after i graduated college
now i'm in a field where i wish dearly that I still had it. it's pretty general, and that's why i like it.

Fundamental Laboratory Approaches for Biochemistry and Biotechnology Description

Ninfa/Ballou/Parsons is a solid biochemistry lab manual, dedicated to developing research skills in students, allowing them to learn techniques and develop the organizational approaches necessary to conduct laboratory research.

Ninfa/Ballou/Parsons focuses on basic biochemistry laboratory techniques with a few molecular biology exercises, a reflection of most courses which concentrate on traditional biochemistry experiments and techniques. The manual also includes an introduction to ethics in the laboratory, uncommon in similar manuals. Most importantly, perhaps, is the authors' three-pronged approach to encouraging students to think like a research scientist: first, the authors introduce the scientific method and the hypothesis as a framework for developing conclusive experiments; second, the manual's experiments are designed to become increasingly complex in order to teach more advanced techniques and analysis; finally, gradually, the students are required to devise their own protocols. In this way, students and instructors are able to break away from a "cookbook" approach and to think and investigate for themselves.

Suitable for lower-level and upper-level courses; Ninfa spans these courses and can also be used for some first-year graduate work.

Applying Evidence-Based Laboratory Medicine: A Step-By-Step Guide Description

This workbook offers a step-by-step guide to applying the principles of evidence-based laboratory medicine (EBLM) in routine practice.

The term "evidence-based" is increasingly becoming part of the language in the practice of clinical medicine, and in laboratory medicine. In laboratory medicine, it is also becoming clear that the "evidence" differs somewhat from that on which the specialty was founded. The foundation of laboratory medicine is an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that describe the pathology of disease, but in applying this knowledge to patient care the emphasis moves from understanding disease mechanisms to improving health outcomes.

By applying EBLM to daily practice, laboratory professionals can

• Ensure appropriate use of tests at the requesting, decision-making, and application phases.
• Make the business case for implementing new diagnostic tools and strategies that meet clinical needs.
• Become full members of the clinical team and take an important role in implementing change.

The key is understanding the question being asked-and then applying the A5 EBLM Cycle: Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Assess.

This workbook walks readers through this process by providing a wide range of case studies that illustrate applications of EBLM in routine laboratory practice. Readers are then encouraged to record their own examples, consider how they might be addressed using the principles of EBLM, formulate research questions, and then follow those questions to their evidence-based solutions.

Throughout the text, sidebars and exercises offer additional helpful information and highlight key concepts. Whether used alone or with colleagues, this workbook provides the knowledge and practice that will give readers confidence that they are indeed learning how to apply the best available scientific evidence to diagnostic challenges, and in the process, playing a central role in patient care.

Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference

A MUST own!
I'm a 6th year medical student and I was looking for a book that could give me a quick, easy, yet complete method of evaluating laboratory exams right on the spot. With this book I got that and much, much more. Right from the book's size and weight to the complete and easy to read information, this book is done just right (it even comes with a waterproof cover to prevent the book from being easily damaged). It includes basic stuff like blood test and urinalysis to more advanced stuff including arthroscopy and mediastinoscopy. The book has it all. For each entry you get: type of test, normal findings (includes values), test explanation and related physiology, interfering factors, procedure and patient care, abnormal findings (lists the diseases that must be suspected); and in the cases that apply gives contraindications, and home care considerations. It has your basic index, plus a list of tests by type (eg. urine tests) and another list of tests by body system (eg. nervous system). All in all, the decision is a no-brainer, this book is a MUST for any medical student or physician. A 5-star rating is an understatement. Highly recommended!

Simply the best
Honestly, I don't give many books 5 stars, nor do I give many glowing reviews, but Mosby really did an outstanding job putting this book together. The format is friendly, the data is accurate, and the tests are all relevant in hospital or clinical settings. Great book and an invaluable reference for nurses and laboratorians alike!

Picky Book buyer loves it!!
I felt that this was the most complete and EASY to use Lab book for nursing students, such as I. It even suggests what abnormals can mean clinically.

Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology in the Practice of Medicine Description

Following the recent Institute of Medicine report on medical error, the entire medical community has had to refocus on the importance of basic practices in achieving good patient outcomes. Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology in the Practice of Medicine aims to better educate medical students (and physicians in need of refreshing) to order the correct tests and understand their clinical significance-especially in an era of continued managed care. With quick reference tables, illustrations and key point callouts on virtually every one of its 589 pages, Dr. Laposata has devised a topic-by-topic approach designed to become the indispensable clinical pathology companion to the Rubin & Farber Pathology or the Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease.
