چکیده
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 classification based on the size of the red cells and their haemoglobin content has been summarized and preferred for clinical reasons. The diagnosis of the various clinical types has been based on the primary findings on the size of the cells and the haemoglobin. Colour index rather than the secondary arithmetical obfuscations has been used. (3) Auricular Flutter. It is no longer believed to be caused by an abnormal circular path taken by the contraction. The examples of the medicaments are : (1) ACTH and Cortisone. Their uses have been described and contra-indications given. (2) Antibiotic Substances. They deal with the five well-known substances. (3) Radioactive Isotopes. P32 and I131 are being used with benefit. A promising line of investigation is a tagged tissue antiserum which on injection will be selectively concentrated in the organ where it is needed. A tagged tumour antiserum is possible. (4) Vitamins. Newer knowledge is available on Bn, IC and P. (5) Rice Diet for Hypertension. There is one item on which a difference of opinion ia possible : the ' findings' are not the findings of the treatment but of the applicability of the treatment to a group of

متن کاملContributions of CCLM to advances in quality control.
Abstract The discipline of laboratory medicine is relatively young when considered in the context of the history of medicine itself. The history of quality control, within the context of laboratory medicine, also enjoys a relatively brief, but rich history. Laboratory quality control continues to evolve along with advances in automation, measurement techniques and information technology. Clinic...
متن کاملRevolutionizing Tissue Engineering through Mirroring Cell Niche and Application of Natural Compounds
onsidering the high prevalence of severe organ failures due to the cancer, congenital anomaly, or trauma, and the consequent needs for tissue transplantation, deficiencies in tissues and organs are a huge challenge for regenerative medicine at the moment. More than 40 years have passed since the term ‘tissue engineering’ was created as a new th...
متن کاملThe current status and future of theranostic Copper-64 radiopharmaceuticals
Copper-64 was produced in large scales and high specific activities in late 1990s’ using compact cyclotrons based by 64Ni(p,n)64Cu reaction and many radiopharmaceuticals developed since then by various groups based on interesting physicochemical and nuclear properties of the radionuclide. The unique emission of beta particles as well as positron particles offers a spectacu...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Tuberculosis: Novel Laboratory Methods
Despite advances in medical sciences in recent years, tuberculosis remains a worldwide health problem. Although there are many laboratory methods to accelerate the diagnosis, a delay in the definitive diagnosis of the disease is still a major clinical problem. Due to the slow growth of the causative agent, (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), isolation, identification, and other clinically important m...
