Critical-care medicine requires rapidity of treatment decisions and clinical management. To meet the objectives of critical-care medicine, the critical-care laboratory must consider four major aspects of laboratory organization in addition to analytical responsibilities: specimen collection and delivery, training of technologists, selection of reliable instrumentation, and efficient data dissem...

<p align="justify">Medical Laboratory Technologist (MLT) is the medical team that examined laboratory, including sputum specimen, where specimen infected MLT must treat with care, to avoid a work accident or nosocomial infection. The purpose of this research was find out whether there correlation between knowledge and attitude towards standard operating procedure (SOP) for handling Tuberc...

Background and study aims  Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or biopsy (FNB) is an indispensable diagnostic tool. Improvements in needling technique have led to increasing tissue yields. Blood clogging of the needle can cause difficulties with specimen handling and stylet passage, which improves when the needle is primed with heparin before use. However, the effect...

This study collects experiences from existing systems with urine diversion and dry handling of faecal matter and presents design recommendations for improved function of new systems. Urine collection and piping systems were studied in four large residential areas in Scandinavia and South Africa where urine had been collected separately for 5-9 years and dry faeces collected for 4-15 years. We f...

An important challenge faced by the developers of faulttolerant distributed systems is to build fault tolerance mechanisms that are reliable. To achieve the desired levels of reliability, the development of mechanisms for detecting and handling errors should be rigorous or formal. In this paper, we present an approach to modeling and verifying faulttolerant distributed systems that use exceptio...

Development in microfluidic technology has contributed to increased understanding neural tissue engineering through the vitro observation of cell-on-chip (CoC) systems. This been further helped by integration with broader MEMS (micro mechanical and electromechanical systems) that offers external devices such as detectors or biosensors show characteristics observed object. An on-chip microsystem...
