Clinical Mass Spectrometry—Achieving Prominence in Laboratory Medicine

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...

Recent Advances in Medicine: Clinical Laboratory Therapeutic

Clinical laboratory immunology: an indispensable player in laboratory medicine.

OBJECTIVES Clinical laboratory immunology affects practically every aspect of medicine. Accordingly, appropriately trained, board-certified clinical laboratory immunologists are key contributors to the diagnosis and management of patients with various immune-mediated conditions. This review highlights the availability of postdoctoral level training programs for clinical laboratory immunology an...

Recent Advances in Medicine: Clinical, Laboratory, Therapeutic

The examples of concepts are : (1) Collagen Diseases. Attempts have been made to bring many apparently unconnected diseases under the basic pathology of a morbid state of the connective tissue. All of them have been benefited, permanently or temporarily by cortisone and ACTH. (2) Types of Anaemia. This is the main item under the haemopoietic system which has been reviewed. Davidson's classifica...

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 ...
