Clinical Trials are medical research involving human subjects. Clinical Trials evaluate medical, surgical, or behavioral interventions to determine if a novel treatment is safe and effective. There are four phases of Clinical Trial testing used to test the new treatment, determine the most effective dosage, and ensure the adverse effects do not outweigh the medical benefits.
The era of omics has ushered in the hope for personalized medicine. Proteomic and genomic strategies that allow unbiased identification of genes and proteins and their post-transcriptional a...
Many drugs currently used for anti-cancer therapy demonstrate significant inter-individual variability that cannot be normalized using body weight or body surface area. There is an increasing...
Medical applications of genetics and genomics have been advancing dramatically since completion of the sequencing of the human genome. The cost of DNA sequencing has plummeted, leading to the...
Laboratory assessment of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels is essential for the management of the risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditionally, this has involved the...
Clinical networks link groups of professionals and organisations from primary, secondary and tertiary care, shifting emphasis from institutional to patient needs and outcomes. One of the main...
Bone turnover markers (BTM) are biological markers of bone remodeling (turnover). The entire skeleton is replaced every 10 years by remodeling, a process constantly going on at different phas...
The program "The Universal Definition of MI & Troponin, Clearing the confusion" is intended to review the recently released Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction and aims to fam...
There is growing pressure to implement new generation sequencing platform in hospital emergency rooms. The utility would be obvious: identifying unknown pathogens form cerebrospinal fluid/pl...
RA is a chronic autoimmune disease that if left untreated results in severe joint destruction. It is estimated that 30-50% of patients will end up on workplace disability within 5 years of di...
Vaginitis and vaginosis, including Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC), and Trichomoniasis (TV), are extremely common conditions, consuming many healthcare resources and...
The value of measuring lactate levels is expanding. Though generally considered a nonspecific biomarker, knowing lactate levels early in a patients presentation can provide valuable informat...
As next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms advance in their speed, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness, many translational researchers are transitioning from microarrays to RNA sequencing...
The human genome encodes ~21,500 proteins that are subject to reversible phosphorylation at nearly 1 million phosphosites by about 538 protein kinases and 156 protein phosphatases. Amongst ot...
Pharmcogenomics (PGx) is the 2nd potential clinical application of genomic medicine, preceded by genomic application for cancer. In the recently published, 2012 Institute of Medicine report o...
Clinical laboratory information provides decision support for most healthcare providers and impacts care processes and patient outcomes throughout the entire health services delivery system....
Obesity is a disease. It was once not considered to be a disease and to be a matter of will power and gluttony. It was also the case that we once thought that fat tissue had no metabolic func...
Learn how technological advances with the DxH 800/DxH 600 analyzers are bringing practical solutions to problems faced by labs and their clinicians and patients. After the webinar you'll...
