Textbook of Hemophilia

The editors have included new authors and topics, and several chapters from second edition have been dropped. The overall organisation of the textbook has been changed in the light of changes of emphasis over the past 10 years. References have been restricted to create an overall succinct and comprehensive volume. 

A chapter on novel therapies in clinical trials or pre-clinical trials will be added at the time of going to press.  The editors have consolidated the gene therapy section from three to two chapters, and retitled the Section, The Future of Haemophilia Therapy.  The chapter on Old Age in Haemophilia has been extended to include more about survivorship with HCV/HIV and perioperative management (+/- anticoagulation in association with post-stent/cardiothoracic surgery following MI).

"The excellent reviews in this book will make it useful to a wide audience." ("New England Journal of Medicine")

"This textbook not only will be a compulsory text for all haemophilia centres but will also serve as a valuable reference book for medical and biomedical scientists in training in haematology." ("British Journal of Biomedical Science")

."..this is the best haemophilia textbook on the market today." ("Clinical and Laboratory Haematology")

"The target audience is trainees, as well as practising haematologists and haemophilia specialists. All members of the multidisciplinary team delivering haemophilia care including nurses, physiotherapists, laboratory technicians, and data managers will also appreciate the book. This is a book each haemophilia centre should have available and accessible. In practise, it is likely that most specialists will wish to purchase their own copy."
