Clinical Chemistry: Laboratory Management and Clinical Correlations

Methodology in diagnostic laboratory test research in clinical chemistry and clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine.

BACKGROUND The application of epidemiologic principles to clinical diagnosis has been less developed than in other clinical areas. Knowledge of the main flaws affecting diagnostic laboratory test research is the first step for improving its quality. We assessed the methodologic aspects of articles on laboratory tests. METHODS We included articles that estimated indexes of diagnostic accuracy ...

Laboratory hemostasis: milestones in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine.

Hemostasis is a delicate, dynamic and intricate system, in which pro- and anti-coagulant forces cooperate for either maintaining blood fluidity under normal conditions, or else will prompt blood clot generation to limit the bleeding when the integrity of blood vessels is jeopardized. Excessive prevalence of anticoagulant forces leads to hemorrhage, whereas excessive activation of procoagulant f...

Noise levels in a clinical chemistry laboratory.

An investigation into the noise levels in a clinical chemistry laboratory has been carried out. It was shown that although the levels were insufficient to cause damage to hearing, they exceeded the criteria of acceptability for offices and workshops.

Clinical Chemistry for the Small Hospital Laboratory

title even less appropriate than in previous editions. It is in fact a good guide to modern paediatrics, with proper emphasis on the normal as well as the sick child. Some diseases such as lukaemia are dealt with in disappointingly superficial fashion, while others (such as rheumatic fever, congenital syphilis and tuberculosis) which are relatively rare in modern practice are treated at disprop...
