Leukocytosis interference in clinical chemistry: shall we still interpret test results without hematological data?

Carcinoembryonic antigen monitoring to detect recurrence of colorectal cancer: how should we interpret the test results?

study confirms the conclusion of Braga et al. (2 ) that the individuality in Hb A1c is limiting the use of outcome-based or populationbased reference limits for test interpretation and will therefore also limit the use of a fixed cutoff value of 48 mmol/mol (6.5% DCCT) for the diagnosis of diabetes for all individuals/patients. The reason for this is that a small change in Hb A1c may indicate a...

How Much Can We Save the Cost from Shifting from Single - Test Strip to Multiple - Test Strip in Point of Care Testing Analysis for Common Clinical Chemistry Parameters ?

What shall we call them?

When last discussed in Pediatrics in 2002, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health statement “Coparent or Second-Parent Adoption by Same-Sex Parents”2 (reaffirmed February 2010) and the accompanying technical report written by Ellen Perrin, MD, FAAP,3 drew much attention and engendered controversy both within the AAP and outside of i...

"How then shall we live?".

This address did not originate in my neocortex, but in a deeper region of my brain, the one responsible for signaling a sense of warning. The sense I have is that a subtle, distinct change is occurring around me that is not quite right. This sense eventually grew into the perception that society, in general, and medicine, in particular, are devaluing the ideals of service and sacrifice. I did n...
