External quality assurance of DNA testing for thrombophilia mutations.
Because of the potential implications of results of genetic analyses of thrombophilic mutations, laboratories must undertake stringent internal quality control measures and participate in external quality assurance (QA) programs. A small number of external QA surveys of thrombophilic defects have been conducted across a large number of molecular laboratories and generally have indicated favorab...
متن کاملFuzzy Information Measure for Image Quality Improvement
Digital image processing can often improve the quality of visual sensing of images and real world’s scenes however the optimization of the used algorithms is not always an easy task. The suitable parameter settings of the methods often depend on the features of the scenes and may also depend on the aim of the (further) processing. In this paper, a fuzzy information measure is introduced which e...
متن کاملIs thrombophilia testing useful?
Thrombophilia is found in many patients presenting with venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, whether the results of such tests help in the clinical management of such patients has not been determined. Thrombophilia testing in asymptomatic relatives may be useful in families with antithrombin, protein C, or protein S deficiency or homozygosity for factor V Leiden, but is limited to women who i...
متن کاملThe futility of thrombophilia testing.
There has been increasing recognition of various laboratory markers of thrombophilia that are associated with increased risk of thrombosis either through hereditary (especially Factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A mutation, and protein C, S and antithrombin deficiencies) and/or acquired means (e.g., antiphospholipid antibodies) over past decades. This has led to an explosion of clinical request...
متن کاملThe utility of thrombophilia testing.
In the past decades, the recognition of several inherited thrombophilic traits has greatly improved our knowledge of the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism, explaining about half of all idiopathic cases. As a consequence, thrombophilia testing has enormously increased in the past years for various clinical conditions. In this paper, the current indications of the most commonly tested thromb...
