Introduction: The aim of this study was determination of troponin I at serum using Architect (Abbott) and AxSYM System (Abbott). Troponin is regulatory subunit of the troponin complex associate with actin filament within muscle cells and it is a marker for diagnosis of myocardial damage. Methods: We used Architect STAT chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) and AxSYM microparticle En...

BACKGROUND Cyclosporine has been shown effective drug in suppressing acute rejection in recipients of allograft organ transplants. METHODS The cyclosporine concentration of 96 blood samples was determined using CMIA (chemiluminesecent microparticle immnoassay) Architect i 2000 and FPIA (fluorescence polarization immunoassay) AxSYM Abbott diagnostic. All patients have transplantation of kidney...

BEING A GOOD software architect has never been easy. Changes in the software industry are making the job even more challenging. The key drivers are the rising role of software in systems of all kinds and their operation; more emphasis on reuse, agility, and testability during software development; and several quality elements increasingly affected by architectural choices. Most of these drivers...
