Thromb Haemost 2006; 96: 545–6 The current theme issue ofThrombosis and Haemostasis focuses on a panel of important topics regarding laboratory methods in the haemostatic laboratory. There is general agreement that tailoring laboratory assays to correlate with clinical phenotypes is essential for effective coagulation monitoring. Thus, it is not surprising that during the last decade concepts f...

Plants growable in rangelands play an important role in the feeding of ruminants; hence, the nutritive value of four plants (Falcaria vulgaris, Malva neglecta, Chenopodium album, and Polygonum aviculare) was determined by different laboratory methods. The plant samples were randomly collected in vegetative phase from different rangelands of Torbat-e Jam, Iran in spring 2018. The range of dry ma...

This new regular feature will be focusing on the different methodologies used in the diagnosis of allergies, describing current assays and introducing novel approaches. Hypersensitivity reactions can be differentiated into IgEand non-IgE-mediated allergic but also non-allergic reactions. Over the next issues the different in vitro and in vivo diagnostic assays will be explained and the advantag...

carbapenemase producing bacteria frequently possess resistance mechanisms to a wide-range of antibacterial agents, and are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. some enzymes like extended-spectrum β-lactamase (esbl), new delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (ndm-1), klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (kpc), and oxa-producing enterobacteriaceae are very important in frequently isolated ...
