The objects retained are either easy to interpret or else capable of a varied i...

Acute coronary syndromes: from bench to bedside--the Twenty-first annual Arnold O. Beckman Conference in Clinical Chemistry.

The 1998 Arnold O. Beckman Conference continued the tradition of focusing on the interface between clinical medicine and the clinical laboratory. Because this year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC), the association’s governing body has deemed appropriate the historical review of all its sponsored events. Therefore, this introduc...
