Transfusion Medicine: Case Studies and Clinical Management is an excellent way to illustrate current thinking about how to manage common transfusion medicine problems. The case studies and their accompanying commentaries provide a practical and enjoyable way to learn. Transfusion medicine emerged as a clinical discipline in its own right comparatively recently, having historically been a laboratory-based specialty. Its position among other clinical disciplines is peculiar; it belongs into haematology as much as into obstetrics; into surgery, or intensive care medicine, as much as into immunology; it has an important role in organ transplantation just as it does in acute trauma management. The physician specializing in transfusion medicine needs to understand the human body in its integrity, in health and in disease. Transfusion medicine is a holistic specialty par excellence. It also bridges the gap between the laboratory bench, where arcane serological problems can now be explained by means of molecular methods, and direct therapeutic application, such as in apheresis techniques. This book is recommended this book as a valuable resource to raise interest in the subject of transfusion medicine and, more importantly, improve the quality of care provided to patients.

This seventh volume in the Springer’s landmark series of edited books discusses one of the most important subjects in contemporary medicine and scientific endeavors. The volume presents a staggering range of research into medical applications of stem cells and cancer stem cells. While stem cells are essential for normal life of multicellular organisms, including humans, cancer stem cells are a morbid entity having a robust resistance to therapies including conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This authoritative publication explains the regenerative potential of stem cells and their mesenchymal progeny, reviewing clinical applications of the latter in the treatment of cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative pathologies. It covers the entire range of stem cells with known potential for therapeutic use, from human embryonic to germ cell-derived pluripotent stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells. The chapters also deal with the role of TGF-beta in propagating human embryonic stem cells, and in facilitating their differentiation. Featuring discussions of molecular signaling pathways that modulate mesenchymal stem cell self-renewal and much more, this book is certain to have broad appeal among academicians and physicians alike.

How best to manage risk involving multi-valued human biological materials is the overarching theme of this book, which draws on the sourcing and supply of blood as a case study. Blood has ethical, social, scientific and commercial value. This multi-valuing process presents challenges in terms of managing risk, therefore making it ultimately a matter for political responsibility. This is highlighted through an examination of the circumstances that led to HIV blood contamination episodes in the US, England and France, as well as their consequences. The roles of scientific expertise and innovation in managing risks to the blood system are also analysed, as is the increased use of precautionary and legal strategies in the post-HIV blood contamination era. Finally, consideration is given to a range of policy and legal strategies that should underpin effective risk governance involving multi-valued human biological materials.
