This note covers biology and pathogenesis of HIV infection, Diagnosis of HIV or AIDS, Opportunistic infections in HIV or AIDS, Neoplasms associated with HIV or AIDS, Organ system pathology in HIV or AIDS, Safety procedures with HIV or AIDS, Medicolegal issues and HIV or AIDS.

Histology or microscopic anatomy or microanatomy is the study of the minute structures of cells, tissues and organs in relation to their function. Topics covered includes: Hierarchy of Anatomical Organization, Classification of Tissues, Cell concepts, Tissue processing for Light Microscopy, Electron Microscopy.

Main goal of this note is to explain the basic concepts and principles that govern the basic structure and function of each tissue. This note will cover the microscopic anatomy of the basic tissues that comprise the the human body, which are: epithelial tissues, connective tissues, including blood, cartilage, and bone, muscle tissues, nerve tissues.

Histology is the study of cells, tissues and organs as seen through the microscope. Although this atlas is a guide to biological structure that can be observed through the light microscope, histology also includes cellular detail down to the molecular level that can be observed using an electron microscope. This PDF atlas covers the following topics related to Histology : Introduction and Cell, Epithelium, Connective tissue, Muscle tissue, Cartilage and Bone , Nerve tissue, Peripheral blood , Hematopoesis, Cardiovascular System, Lymphoid system , Skin, Exocrine glands, Endocrine glands, Gastrointestinal Tract, Liver and Gall Bladder , Urinary System, Respiratory System, Female Reproductive System, Male Reproductive System, Organs of Special Sense.

This note covers the following topics: Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Blood, Cartilages, Bones and muscles.

This note explains the following topics: the cell, Mitosis, Epithelium, General connective tissue, Special connective tissue cartilage, Bone and Joints, blood, Hemopoietic tissue, Muscle, Nervous tissue, Cardiovascular and lymph vascular systems, Lymphatic tissues and organs, Skin, Respiratory system, Digestive system, Urinary system, Meiosis, Male reproductive system, Female reproductive system, Endocrine glands, The eye and the ear.

The lecture note is intended for use by laboratory technologist both during their training and in their work places. There are study questions at the end of each chapter for the reader to evaluate his understanding of the contents. In addition, important terms are defined in the glossary section at the end of the text.

The book, Inherited Hemoglobin Disorders, describes the genetic defects of hemoglobins, disease complications, and therapeutic strategies. This book has two distinct sections. The first theme includes seven chapters devoted to the types of hemoglobinopathies, mutation spectrum, diagnostic methods, and disease complications, and the second theme includes three chapters focusing on various treatment strategies. Major topics covered includes: Hemoglobinopathy Approach Diagnosis and Treatment Policy, Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Disease, Acute Splenic Sequestration Crisis, Sickle Cell Disease.

This Immunohaematology Lecture Note is prepared to meet the needs of Medical Laboratory professionals and Blood Bank personnel for a material that comprise the theories and laboratory techniques concerning blood transfusion service. Topics covered includes: Introduction To Immunoheamatology, Principles Of Antigens And Antibodies, The ABO Blood Group System , The Rh-hr Blood Group System, The Anti- Globulin Test, Haemolytic Diseases, The Transfusion Reaction and the Donation Of Blood.

The primary objective of this book is to provide the specialists involved in the clinical management and experimental research in hematological diseases with comprehensive and concise information on some important theoretical and practical developments in the biology, clinical assessment, and treatment of patients, as well as on some molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms and the respective translation into novel therapies.
