Flow cytometry in the clinical laboratory.
This issue of the eJIFCC is dedicated to highlight some aspects of clinical flow cytometry. In the past 50 years several techniques have revolutionized laboratory medicine. Undoubtedly flow cytometry is one of those, with a substantial impact on diagnosing and monitoring diseases in laboratory hematology, hemostasis and immunology. The development in flow technology also exerted a considerable ...
متن کاملFlow Cytometry To Assess Cerebrospinal Fluid Fungal Burden in Cryptococcal Meningitis
Fungal burden in the cerebrospinal fluid is an important determinant of mortality in cryptococcal meningitis, but its use in aiding clinical decision making is hampered by the time involved to perform quantitative cultures. Here, we demonstrate the potential of flow cytometry as a novel and rapid technique to address this issue.

A 60 year old man was admitted to the hospital with the clinical manifestation of meningitis. In laboratory examination of cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F), the appearance was red, Albu-min level was high and the glucose showed normal value. Haematoxylin and Eosin stained slides pr...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Flow Analysis in Subarachnoid Space
A better understanding of the hydrodynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is important to understand the pathophysiology of various diseases related to the central nervous system (CNS). This project aims to simulate the CSF flow in subject specific subarachnoid spaces (SAS) of healthy volunteers and patients suffering from Chiari malformation. The simulations at high spatial and temporal res...
