This seminal and widely quoted work reported the recommendations of a Working Party established originally under the auspices of the European Community for Coal and Steel and reflecting the long-standing interest of that body...
متن کاملPreanalytical considerations in testing thyroid function.
Remarkable technical advances have permitted analytical measurement of thyrotropin (TSH) and estimates of free thyroxine (FT4) with precision, accuracy, and favorable economics. Combined with an increased appreciation of the key insights into the pituitary-thyroid relation, preanalytical considerations infrequently introduce confounding variables. In reviewing thyroid data, preanalytical consid...
متن کاملLung function in paediatrics. Lung function testing in children.
