🩸 Blood and Bone Marrow Secrets Library update! Added 200 articles from the “International Journal of Laboratory Hematology” for 2015! 3000 publications will be available by the end of this spring!

🇮🇹 Editor-in-chief of the closed journal International Journal of Laboratory Hematology: an authority in the world of laboratory hematology: Giuseppe de Onofrio — Italian hematology guru. ⭐ Access to the exclusive library is available with a VK Donut Leukformula subscription or 💎 Level VII - PROerythroblast 💾 New library size: 89.0 gigabytes! Files: 38,337; folders: 7,799 🔬 The images show different types of leukemias and blood pathologies from one journal article, comparing staining methods: (a) Chronic myeloid leukemia: blasts, basophils, myelocytes, and neutrophils are visible (inset: neutrophil with hypolobated nucleus); (b) Myelodysplastic syndrome: myeloid cells with insufficient granulation; (c) Chronic eosinophilic leukemia: atypical eosinophils with large granules; (d) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: abnormal lymphocytes and “smudge cells” (inset: prolymphocyte); (e) Acute myeloid leukemia with monocytic differentiation: monoblasts and promonocytes with “lacy” chromatin, nuclear convolutions, and pale basophilic cytoplasm; (f) Acute promyelocytic leukemia: abnormal promyelocytes with lobulated nuclei, indistinct nucleoli, and multiple Auer rods. (g) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia: cluster of lymphoblasts 🚀. Source: Gajendra S. et al.

✅ And yes.. We didn’t just copy PDF documents in English. Each publication is placed in a separate folder (with a Russian name), which contains the original and a brief translation into Russian (text file + screenshot of the text: for easy reading on the phone), as well as all colorful images from the PDF file!

⭐ And in the sister project Labformula, we save articles from the closed cytology journal “Diagnostic Cytopathology” to the LAB-TESTS library. 💾 New library size >100 gigabytes!
