Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of bone marrow disorders. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of your bones, such as your hip and thigh bones. It contains immature cells, called stem cells. The stem cells can develop into the red blood cells that carry oxygen through your body, the white blood cells that fight infections, and the platelets that help with blood clotting. If you have a bone marrow disease, there are problems with the stem cells or how they develop. Leukemia is a cancer in which the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. With aplastic anemia, the bone marrow doesn't make red blood cells. Other diseases, such as lymphoma, can spread into the bone marrow and affect the production of blood cells. Other causes of bone marrow disorders include your genetic makeup and environmental factors.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value!

From the author: Pathologic changes associated with chronic kidney disease--mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) begin early in the course of renal disease and are typically progressive, despite the use of traditional therapies. A wide variety of potentially severe consequences are associated with the progression of this disease. These sequalae include parathyroid hyperplasia, parathyroidectomy, bone pain, fractures, vascular calcification, and cardiovascular events, with each independently associated with an increased risk for death. Nurses should be aware of the complications associated with CKD-MBD and the need to simultaneously achieve recommended targets for iPTH, calcium, phosphorous, and the calcium-phosphorous product to increase the likelihood of arresting disease progression.
