Practical Pediatric HematologyAnupam Sachdeva Evidence-based medicine is the need of the hour. Every pediatrician strives for perfection is his or her practice. These are exciting times for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology. Major advances during the past decade in the field have enhanced the understanding and significantly influenced the management and outcome of many of these chronic and fatal diseases affecting children. While opportunities to learn decrease after one leaves the medical school, science keeps evolving. Keeping this in mind, Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) envisaged starting specialty training under its plan of action 2006. Such trainings keep professional and residents updated about newly launched technologies and other advancements. This book is well illustrated and has many pictures and diagrams for the quick understanding of readers. This will be of use not only to the postgraduates of pediatrics but also will be of immense use to a general pediatrician as a ready-reckoner to be kept on the desk. |
